Dana White: “We blew it. It should’ve been a five-round fight.”

If you were among the countless fans frothing at the bit for another round in last night’s exciting UFC on Fuel headliner between Diego Sanchez and Jake Ellenberger you might have more in common with a certain UFC executive than you think. According to Dana White, he too was let down by the bout’s premature ending after it climaxed with Sanchez’s late surge.

“We blew it. It should’ve been a five-round fight,” the visibly disappointed UFC President explained in an interview on the post-event show.

“Good question. Who knows,” White wondered when asked if he felt Sanchez may have pulled out the win after what was witnessed in the third round’s final minutes. However, if there’s a positive to be pulled from the fight’s finish, it appears to be White’s willingness to fix the problem.

“There will be five-round fights from now on,” White vowed, confirming any main event not already signed will be a five-rounder regardless of where the card airs.
