If Dana White and "Stitch" Duran weren't friends then, well, they certainly are not now.
White, the UFC president, said on the FOX Sports 1 post-fight show following UFC on FOX 16 that Duran will not be coming back to the UFC and made sure to emphasize that he and the legendary cutman were not that tight.
''Stitch' Duran needs to learn what the meaning of the word friend is," White said. "'Stitch' Duran and I were never friends. We were work associates. We came up together in the boxing world and when we hired cutmen he was one of the guys I brought in here.
