MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani spoke to Dana White ahead of UFC 119 this weekend in Indianapolis and besides the match-ups on the card the UFC president spoke about all of the hot topics on the minds of fans and pundits alike including his take on Sonnengate, if he feels there is a PED problem in MMA and why he cut Todd Duffee and Efrain Escudero.

Here's what the baldfather had to say:

About Sonnen's current mental state and whether or not he will support his appeal:
"I've spoken to him a couple of times. I saw him at the opening of the UFC gym in Los Angeles and then I talked to him yesterday I think. He's in a really good place. Listen, there's more to this story than meets the eye and it will all come out in the athletic commission hearing. People look at me and they say, 'You're the commissioner of this thing.' No, no, no. The way that this works is, the athletic commission oversees us. Every time these guys step in and compete, the athletic commission drug tests them and everything else. Everyone thinks that 'Dana White has the commission in his hand,' but the commission doesn't give a shit what I think, what I have to say -- nothing. You're dealing with the government. That's like thinking that Dana White can tell the IRS what to do. That's never going to happen. So, Chael is gonna have to go in front of the commission and we're going to have to wait and see how this thing plays out."

Ya Duffee sounded like a jerk in his interviews. I remember before his last fight he was MMA Live on ESPN and he was talking like a complete tool.

He is 100% correct about Josh Barnett. Its really hard to argue with that.

Dana knows his stuff. I'm really curious to see what comes out of the Sonnen saga.
