However what I'm Randy Sparage I'm joined by UFC president Dana White to preview the great fight you can see this Saturday. At UFC 121. In Anaheim and there are you never know what rank it too is going to do it looks as though he might be calling it quits to pursue other career options he's certainly. One of the greatest UFC fighters in history do you think he's the greatest of all time.

Greatest of all time of the big statement. Is definitely one of the greatest legends hall of Famer bomb you know he's at this point is we're always going -- tell -- what should I do. If he wants to retire then I agree with a 100% lesson is that a couple of wins he goes out on top everything's good. If he decides to keep fighting I would argues that a -- them do there I still think he's one of top 10215. Pounders in the world. Guys 47 years old he's still got options I never count this guy out anymore. There you're coming off a successful event across the pond in London how much growth as the UF CC overseas and what are you expecting in the future. That's been fantastic man ever since we've started this global expansion because here's the reality. Our philosophy is. If you look at the NFL -- it is here right. But it -- across borders well people don't get it over to England crickets never gonna be big here. Roger what color you are what language newspaper what country you live then we're all human beings and fighting and our DNA and we get and we like it. And as we start to take this thing and all -- different countries my bottle -- who's just over India we're gonna get a deal done right now weren't half a billion homes around the world. We're two deals away from. Being in over a billion homes worldwide still number all the stuff I was there when I was talking about this being in the biggest sport in the world and everybody thought I was alone at that -- to -- over a billion homes worldwide in the five years ten years lets you were. -- young fighters -- stepped up and made a name for themselves who are some of the fighters at a rate -- break out and become USC -- God there's so many guys right now you know we got bigger we got Jones bomb. Debate urge -- gonna fight each other in that division I heavyweight division has never looked better than half Frankie Edgar coming off to a credible wins over Bob BJ Penn. I mean -- the great thing that start to happen right now. Again talking about the global expansion there is in the country anywhere on this planet. I can't find a fighter and right now and when guys like me -- grown up your parent to -- karate Taekwondo -- like that the new martial art. Is is mixed martial arts this is what women get the kids into everybody's taking it. And my guess is this thing continues to get bigger guys that would've played football or basketball or baseball. Are are gonna start becoming mixed martial arts and -- gonna see the level of talent getting bigger and bigger bigger. We'll talk about a break out star Jake shields meta name from -- outside of the USC eight. Will be making his debut on Saturday what are you expecting from him and a few wins would that get him a title shot. Yeah the reality is this kid can come and right now fight for the title he just dominated Dan Henderson. Dominated them at a 185 pounds but timing here in the UFC at the time we signed him. -- there was already committed to gosh -- they're filming that reality show. But Saturday night this kid's got a -- bite mark -- the real deal stylistically this kid's a nightmare for him. He's got great stand up great takedown offense -- digits on the ground. Bomb and one thing that people have to understand is the greatest Jake shields as and I give them all the credit in the world coming off his last fight. The guys who fight the UFC -- the absolute best in the world three times a year. This is no easy place though Jake shields is gonna have his work cut out for a -- Saturday night. Then animated at Brock lesnar is putting is heavyweight title on the line against Cain Velasquez. I don't know lesnar is one tough fighter but in his last match he showed that he still got a lot of work to do on his feet you think Velasquez will be able to exploit that. It's going to be -- and I think that's one of the etched in points in this fight. What -- showed me a small fighting guys got the talent all the tools and everything else. -- about experience getting experience and Brock lesnar had never been taken in the deep water before this -- this for -- and I've seen so many guys crack under the pressure once these guys start getting hit. They're not the bullies they pulled that and and in the end up either quitting or just lose it all Brock lesnar showed that not only is he physically strong he's mentally strong to coming out at second round smiling and going wideout -- car went finishing -- On them but what you said makes that antibodies so many fun things about -- like first of all the nothing more exciting than the denigrate heavyweight fight and that's why we've got. Brock lesnar -- huge. Talented explosive athletic. Is I picked -- the fences take downs is jujitsu. And this guy's got cargo for days both of these guys can go five rounds full bore the question becomes can he -- Brock lesnar take down. Keep this thing standing or can he pick Brock lesnar down and put him on his back. Finally everyone's pretty familiar with all the fighters in the -- and call me -- events so who else should be fans be keeping an eye on during UFC 121. All of this whole part of that is a great fight bomb. Obviously Matt Hamill and Tito Ortiz Matt Hamels worked his way up through the ranks this kid's got a lot of experience coming up a couple of really great -- And Tito Ortiz is -- Saturday night stay relevant. Bomb Gabe Gonzaga. And shopper fighting that's going to be a -- fight the whole artists that it's gonna be a great a great night of fights tomorrow night. I -- thanks so much for being -- us and good luck with UFC 121. On Saturday and don't forget foxsports.com if you covered prior and it may need somebody Sparage let's look at it.
