Earlier today on the relaunch of Combat Fighter Zone (CFZ Radio) now live and on MMANews.com, UFC president Dana White stopped in to discuss a number of topics.

One in particular was the rumor going around that UFC 60 "Hughes vs. Gracie" sold 800,000 buys on pay-per view and that $16 million in revenue was given to K-1 and FEG for the usage of Royce Gracie at the event.

When asked for any early estimates for the UFC 60 PPV buyrate, Dana White responded "it's not 800,000 buys I can tell you that [laughing]." The UFC president followed up with, "and we didn't give K-1 $16 million if that's what you're asking [laughs]." What did Dana think of the rumor that got some attention in the past few days (admittedly also here at MMANews.com)? "Yeah, no. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life."
