Dana White previews UFC Vegas 13

Dana White sounded particularly excited about the Marcos Rogerio de Lima and Alexandr Romanov fight on the prelims card. De Lima had a brilliant first-round knockout victory earlier this year in February over Ben Sosoli.

Romanov is also coming off a dominating second-round submission win over Roque Martinez on his UFC debut in September. Dana White has every reason to be excited about this potentially action-packed Heavyweight fight.

Another fight Dana White seemed excited about was Raoni Barcelos and Khalid Taha. Barcelos is on a four-win streak in UFC and has an MMA record of 15-1, with his only loss coming back in 2014. Among his 15 wins, 10 have come via submissions and knockouts.

Taha, on the other hand, has managed only one victory in UFC. The win came against Boston Salmon after a loss to Nad Narimani. He did win his next fight via submission over Bruno Silva at UFC 243. However, the result was overturned as Taha was handed a one-year suspension by USADA for testing positive for a banned substance.

Traces of furosemide (diuretics) were found in his competition urine sample, which came from a medicine he took to treat swelling and inflammation in his eyes. Taha became eligible to fight again in October this year.
