Dana White stopped by The Daily Line on Monday, and he touched on a number of topics:

* Rampage vs. Evans at UFC 114.
* MMA in the Olympics. “I hope it happens in my lifetime,” White said. “I know what it is my job and what I set out to achieve in mixed martial arts, that’s not it. Somebody else is going to have to do that.”
* Tim Sylvia’s recent win over Mariusz Pudzianowski. “Who cares? Nobody cares about Tim Sylvia and he beat up some muscle guy from somewhere.”
* Oh, and he also touched on (once again) the pound-for-pound debate. White said “The Russian” doesn’t belong in the top-10
