White replied, “Think about this, we were talking about this yesterday. Go back to ‘TUF’ and look at the fights that were in ‘TUF’. It was literally the evolution of the sport at the time. All the people that came out of ‘TUF’ went in a certain fighter and came out a different type of fighter. And I think ‘TUF’ did a lot of good stuff for the up and coming talent back then”

Dana continued, “Look at these kids that are fighting in the contender series. It’s night and day. The kids that are fighting in the contender series would have wiped the floor with the ‘TUF’ people back in the day…. What I love about him (Alex Perez) going in and fighting for a title this weekend is, all the kids that fought tonight and have fought on the contender series before every one of you have the ability to do that. We brought you in for a reason… You have the ability to become world champion one day”
