Dana White Talks Bellator Ratings, TUF Contestant Loses It On Twitter, UFN 57 Weigh-Ins

- With Bellator's big ratings success this week, Dana White wasn't in an aggressive mood when asked about it. He appeared on Off The Record, being interviewed by Michael Landsberg and spoke about Bellator's big win.

"There is no doubt that thing was a free fight on free TV," White responded on Off The Record. "Yeah, of course it's going to pull some numbers; [Ortiz and Bonnar] are both big name guys."

White also said despite his bad blood with Ortiz in the past, he's happy for both he and Bonnar for getting paid.

- The Ultimate Fighter 20 contestant Angela Magana has significantly increased her social media activity this week, to much controversy.

Magana, who was eliminated from the competition by Aisling Daly, has traded verbal barbs with fellow UFC strawweight Heather Clark and started referring to herself as the "Queen," and her fans "peasants."

Today Magana posted rare semi-nude photos in herself in a move in which she admittedly did to gain attention. Magana is currently slated to participate on The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale in December, although her opponent had yet to be announced.
