02:03 PM ET 06.17 | UFC president Dana White has never been a fan of referee Steve Mazzagatti and wasn't fond of the referee's late stoppage in Josh Burkman's submission win against Jon Fitch on Friday night. "Does anyone disagree with me that Mazzagatti???s a (expletive) toolbox? I mean he literally did nothing," White said. "Literally when (Fitch) goes limp, he goes limp, he???s out and then (Burkman) rolls him (expletive) over, lets his head (expletive) flop to the thing and then stands up over him. He's literally like this standing up over him before Mazzagatti even (expletive) gets in the picture."

10:08 AM ET 06.15 | Randy Couture has accepted the deterioration of his relationship with Dana White. But he believes the UFC president went too far when he said Couture cannot be in the corner of his son Ryan at UFC events. "For Dana to act the way he's acted, I think it's crossing the line," Couture told The Post on Thursday. Couture, a UFC Hall of Famer and pioneer of MMA, had been working as an analyst for UFC broadcasts on FOX before leaving for Spike TV in January. That did not make White happy and he, as he is known to do, made it public, saying Couture "stops being a man when his big toes step out of the cage." The attacks weren't just verbal either. White called Couture's son Ryan and told him that his father could not corner him in his UFC debut, which was April 6 in Sweden, or in the future.

A matchup between TUF veterans Myles Jury and Mike Ricci will take place at the event. It is just the second fight to be announced for the card. There is no word on whether the fight will be a part of the night's main card or if it will be on the preliminary card. UFC 165 will take place on Sept. 21.
