White on Nelson kicking ref: 'He needs to be buried'

UFC president Dana White and heavyweight Roy Nelson have never had the best of working relationships, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Dana is pissed off at him. After all, Nelson did kick referee John McCarthy after what he felt was a late stoppage in his bout with Antonio Silva at a Fight Night event in Brasilia last weekend. For his part, White doesn't think Nelson's subsequent explanation and apology mean anything, and he stated as much on the UFC Unfiltered podcast recently (transcribed by MMA Fighting):

"You can’t apologize for that," White said.
