Jon Jones And Daniel Cormier Get Heated Again, Dana White On UFC 182 PPV Buys, Weigh-In Highlights
- The UFC 182 weigh-ins went off without a hitch last night, outside of Alexis Dusfrense missing weight for a second straight time. An already interesting main event of Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier got even more interesting when the two combatants refused to look each other in the eye. The two had their fight purses threatened if another physical encounter took place.

- Dana White has lofty expectations for the UFC 182 buyrate. While numbers have been down for the company across the board in 2014, he said that he has higher hopes for UFC 182 kicking off 2015.
"I think this fight will do 750,000," White told reporters Thursday. "That's where my line's at." The number would make it the highest buyrate since 2013. Last month's UFC 181 did a surprising 380,000 according to the Wrestling Observer, a number in which was considered lackluster to average in years past.
- Cormier and Jones had yet another confrontation at the UFC 182 fighter meeting last night. The two got into a heated verbal exchange, which seems par for the course any time the two interact.
Dana White posted video of the incident on Instagram, which you can see below.
