\"McGregor\"<\/a>
\n\u201cI told Cub and Frankie, \u2018Don\u2019t worry about anything you hear with all the Conor McGregor talk and all the other stuff. You worry about Cub Swanson and you worry about Frankie Edgar. Believe me, the fact that people are arguing over who should get a title shot in the 145-pound division isn\u2019t a bad thing. It\u2019s a good thing.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

During his weekly, ‘Download’ on UFC.COM<\/a>, UFC President Dana White discussed the complications of having such a stacked featherweight division.<\/p>\n

He spoke more:<\/p>\n

White on Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes at UFC 179:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI called Mendes and I called Aldo three days after the fight to tell them how honored I was to be able to sit in the seat I was sitting in and seeing that fight,\u201d said White said. \u201cIt was two guys who don\u2019t want to move backwards and who won\u2019t break, and they just kept going at each other. Aldo won the war of attrition. He won that fight. A lot of people were talking about Mendes getting robbed. Mendes fought an awesome fight, but Aldo absolutely won that fight and I think it raised his stock.\u201d<\/p>\n

White on Mendes and coach Duane \u201cBang\u201d Ludwig:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the props in the world to Bang Ludwig, who might be the best striking coach in the business. Yes, he jumped into a camp full of studs, guys who were extremely talented, but they were wrestlers,\u201d White said about Ludwig, who also coaches UFC bantamweight champion T.J. Dillashaw. \u201cWhat you saw at UFC 179 was a Chad Mendes who was checking Aldo\u2019s kicks, and I think landed more leg kicks than Aldo did in that fight. Mendes wanted that belt so goddamn bad, and they went toe to toe.\u201d<\/p>\n

White on the featherweight division generally:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially with all the excitement in that division with Conor McGregor, Cub Swanson and Frankie Edgar – that division is so exciting that people are talking about freaking Nik Lentz and Dennis Bermudez.”<\/p>\n
