Q&A before UFC 122 in Germany.

Quick recap:
White wants Overeem (not new news) but does show that it may happen sooner than later. Said relationship is good.

Confirmed rumor of Lil Nog vs. Tito. This surprised me. Giving Tito a shot at a fighter who I think is better than Hamill. Might be Titos last fight...

Brock requested match vs Mir again! (Shot down Roy Nelson rumour)

This thoughts on Joachim Hansen and him joining UFC. Dana kept it hush-hush and said it would be up to Joe Silva to look into. He would really make new WEC-UFC merger weight classes and 155 lb really interesting

Thoughts?

I don't believe Dana when he says Brock requested Mir. Dude said a million times he hasn't heard from Brock since the Cain fight but somehow Brock made that request? I think Dana is just trying to milk Brock for all he's worth and wants to get him another win to build him back up for another title fight.

I'd like either Hansen or Overeem in the UFC. I don't see it with Overeem though, I think he enjoys K-1 too much personally.

Hansen has made his disdain for the UFC public, but no idea if that still stands or not.

This was a post-fight interview and Dana says here that because so many people were complaining on twitter, they may not do the Lesnar/Mir 3 fight. =)

...but Nelson has a weird issue with his contract involving his previous promotion.
