While manager Ed Soares is heartbroken that his friend and client Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira got knocked out at this past weekend’s UFC 110, he has nothing but respect for Nogueira’s opponent, Cain Velasquez.

In today’s UFC.com release, UFC president Dana White stated he is “disappointed” by Mir’s comments and that “he won’t be saying anything like that again.”
