I wanted to believe it, maybe because I suspected that it wouldn’t be the first time White has twisted private conversations with fighters to suit his own needs, or even invented them out of thin air. From Silva’s phone call to Anthony Pettis ‘ text message to Georges St-Pierre ‘s backroom promise to put an epic beating on Nick Diaz , it sure seems like a lot of what we hear through the Dana White news service conveniently falls into the category of “Things That Would Make Dana White’s Job Easier.” But then Silva lost me, right after he explained that “everyone knows” he didn’t really call White in the first place. “I don’t even have his phone number, personally,” Silva said.
