Speaking of Dana White, he also spoke about UFC Featherweight Champion Jose Aldo's injury. White said that he's confident that Aldo will fight Conor McGregor on July 11 at UFC 189, and that several other UFC stars have fought and won lately with the same injury.

"Aldo wants this fight. The injury that he has is the same one Cowboy Cerrone just fought with. He got hit to the body and he won the fight. Dan Henderson fought with this injury, and a lot of other fihgters," White said. "I talked to Jose 3 or 4 days ago. He has a physical therapist working with him. He's doing everything he's allowed to do."

Dana White was also asked about his initial reaction when he heard about Aldo's injury. A week ago, rumors were flying that Aldo was ready to pull out of the fight due to the injury.

"I had to take a knee. I had to literally take a f-cking knee. After all the things we've f-cking been through, to have something happen during this fight. It goes back to training. A guy hits him with a spinning heel kick three weeks before his fight. What are you doing throwing a kick like that at your training partner before the biggest fight of his life? If you're going to throw those kind of kicks, throw a body pad on him," Dana White said.

White also said Aldo hasn't asked for more money at all throughout the situation. You can see the full video of Dana White's comments above. You can also see the new UFC uniform below.
