So says Dana White…

Dana White is contradicting rumors that Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann will not happen. Speaking last night after UFC 126, White said "It's on" in regard to the bout, which will take place at UFC 130 on May 28th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Silva has been resistance to accepting the matchup due to Stann's fan favorite/war hero status, leading some to believe that the fight was off. White said that wasn't the case though.

"You know Wanderlei," White said. "He's not afraid to fight anybody, but Wanderlei is one of those guys. He's like, 'Boss, everybody will hate me if I fight this guy.' I'm like, 'Trust me, nobody is going to hate you, Wanderlei.' People love you."
