While being interviewed by the CBC in Canada, UFC President Dana White was asked about the Undertaker/Brock Lesnar confrontation that occurred after Lesnar's loss to Cain Velasquez. He said he had no idea that it was going to happen, and that the Undertaker had called him a couple of days ago and apologized.

"This is the story," said White. "Him and Brock have some beef. Brock walked by him, he said something to him, and it blew up into the whole thing that happened. I have a good relationship with Vince McMahon. I like Vince McMahon very much, I respect him. I have a great relationship with most of the guys from WWE - they're fans. It's no big deal. We're in the fight business and anything can happen at any given time."

When asked if he would allow Brock to work with WWE, White said no, and added that he didn't see himself as competing with WWE because both products were different. You can check out a preview for the interview below:

Dana should know that the UFC is entertainment as well.

Many people watch it to see human ****-fighting.

It was reported earlier today that former WWE star Batista's 18-year-old daughter released a sex tape. Snippets of Athena Batista, in compromising positions with her reported boyfriend, have surfaced online. According to sources, it's the talk of the locker room backstage at today's SmackDown! taping in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Talk of the locker room?

Wow. They've got nothing better to talk about?

Re: the Juan Cena angle... I wanna take back all I said about it before. I wanna say WWE should have taken it so much further. We all knew it was John in a mask, that was the point - it was tongue in cheek, it was mocking itself. It should have become a parody of poor wrestling cliche's. I'm personally sad that it's over, because WWE could have had comedy gold on their hands there.

Quoting David Letterman: "America is the only country where a significant proportion of the population believes that professional wrestling is real but the moon landing was faked."

Without going off on to much of a rant, do you people here actually watch this garbage?

Man, I've tried to the last few weeks, but this stuff is flat out absurd!!

It's so ridiculous, "And I quote," it's not even laughable!

[TheElite]

You don't like Edge?

[Ghost5525]

What is he chasing Triple H or something for how many World titles he can get ... guess they have no one better to put it on.

[+Nik Louch Subscriber²]

Edge is at his best when chasing the title, not defending it.

SRG Films has signed an agreement with Richard O'Sullivan to create a movie on the life and death of Chris Benoit. Half of the $7 million budget is said to have been raised so if the other half is raised, the movie would be filmed in 2011.

Sources are reporting that, as suspected, Awesome Kong has signed with WWE.

Rumors began to surface on Tuesday that Kong had signed with the company, and her tweet is being taken as confirmation of the news.

My dreams just came true today. I got my dream job. Yes, THAT one, she said.

[Lord Nite]

If that is true, WWE will use her for a short time and then toss her to the wayside like they do will all good talent that they should be pushing.

I hate the fact that WWE has destroyed their own Tag Team division with splits and other crap.

John Cena Injured

Oh there is a God. :laugh:

Reigning FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion Mason Ryan, who worked SmackDown! live events this week, is expected to be called up to the main WWE roster and receive a large push from the onset. Organization officials reportedly want to utilize the Welsh grappler similarly to former WWE Champion Batista. He notably bears a striking resemblance to "The Animal."
