FXF Staff — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 13:13:42 +0000

With all the online buzz and speculation circulating these past couple of weeks concerning a particular TapouT Fedor Emelianenko sponsorship deal gone sour, Ariel Helwani of Fanhouse caught up with Dana White prior to UFC 116 this past weekend to clear the air and give us all the inside scoop. If you weren’t already aware of the story, TapouT revealed a signature TapouT Fedor T-shirt just prior to Emelianenko’s bout with Fabricio Werdum at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum, a style that apparently ended up getting cancelled. In the end, Clinch Gear jumped at the opportunity to sponsor the Russian Heavyweight by creating the official Clinch Gear Fedor Strikeforce Walkout T-shirt in time for his headlining bout against Werdum.

Check out this video interview with Dana, including his thoughts on UFC 116, the legalization of MMA in NYC, his feelings towards Fedor’s M-1 Global Management company, and of course, the TapouT / Fedor scenario (skip to the 4:20 mark to get straight to the TapouT discussion).
