“This is a huge fight for both of these guys,” White said. “Obviously for ‘Shogun’ Rua, to be in this position right now fighting a guy like Te Huna – this is the fight of Te Huna’s life. If Te Huna wins this fight, it catapults him into the Top 10, everybody knows his name and everybody’s going to want to see what’s next for him.
“And yes, if ‘Shogun’ loses this fight, I probably would have that (retirement) conversation with him.”
“I have not, but it’s not a bad idea,” White said. “If he (Shogun Rua) lost this fight, I’d be interested in giving him a run at 185.”
UFC FN 33 will be hosted by the Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Australia, and the main card will be broadcast on FOX Sports 1.
