About 66 minutes in Dana White calls in and yells at Jerry who is a Pride Rep.
All you hear is Dana talking shit and making a bunch of excuses on why he won't have UFC fight Pride.
Here are some summaries from Sherdog if you guys are too lazy to listen.
The gist is that Dana kept making excuses for the Chuck vs Wand fight not to happen. Dana was saying that Silva was beaten badly, so what is the point of Chuck fighting him. Then he said that Pride would be out of business in a few months. Said that UFC paid their fighters more than Pride. Jerry, from Pride, kept saying that Pride wants to send Silva to fight Chuck, but UFC doesn't want it because Dana wants a 3 fight deal. Dana continued to talk bad about Pride, but the Pride rep, for the most part, only said good things about UFC. Like how UFC was a great org, and that it had done a great job in America promoting MMA, and making it legitimate. It was very interesting. Dana freaked out when Jerry brought up, "why doesn't UFC send over Sylvia to Pride", he started saying, of course we won't.
It was quite obvious only a couple of minutes into the conversation, that Dana is to blame, for the biggest fight in MMA history, not happening.

Pride said they offered Fedor vs Syliva(and I believe when Dana was on the phone, Jerry said what we all think, that the fight would last 15 seconds.), and that Jerry was authorized in a Pride meeting, that happened 3 days ago, to offer Silva to fight Chuck in the UFC. Jerry even said, if Dana didn't want to do it in Novemeber, because of Silva's "injuries", that they would wait 30 or 60 days. Dana still said no, but Dana DID make the big announcement that if Tito beats Ken, Tito will get a rematch with Chuck

I also find it hilarious that before the Silva vs Franklin fight, all you saw were highlights of Silva when he fought in Pride. They bring him in as a successful fighter in "Japan" in the hopes that Franklin beats him and gives a bad name to Pride. He then goes on to dominate Franklin and Dana White has the saddest look on his face when he's putting the belt on Silva.
Silva used to be in Chute Boxe with Wanderlei Silva and left to start Muay Thai Dream Team so he has trained with the best. He should have no problems in the UFC.
