02:41 PM ET 06.17 | Ricardo Lamas doesn't have an opponent for UFC 162 now, but he will still be paid his show money if one can't be found before the event. Lamas was scheduled to face Chan Sung Jung, but the "Korean Zombie" was pulled from the fight to face Jose Aldo in the UFC 163 main event. "You have two guys who both could've gotten this fight and Ricardo, unfortunately, I know is bummed out. And I told him, 'You're in that place that Chuck Liddell was in at one time. You're in that place that Carlos Condit was in at one time. And you're in that place that Johny Hendricks has been in. You will get yours. I promise you,'" White said.

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."
