Dana White: Cain Velasquez’s constant injuries prove AKA still in the ‘stone ages’

UFC President Dana White suggested that certain MMA gyms are to blame for the injury plague.

Back in the PRIDE FC days, fans and pundits would hear about the infamous training methods of gyms such as Brazilian Top Team and Chute Box, and while that may have been an effective preparation tactic at the time, UFC President Dana White believes that era of gym ignorance and brutality must come to an end.

"That's not how it's done," White told Setanta Sports (h/t MMAFighting.com). "Not anymore. We need to educate a lot more."

White targeted camps such as American Kickboxing Academy, whom he blames for the consistent injuries that continue to befall the UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez.
