Dana White knew he was taking a risk by placing UFC 129 in the cavernous Rogers Centre instead the home of the Maple Leafs and Raptors, the Air Canada Centre. His boss and pal, Lorenzo Fertitta was right in pushing for the bigger basebal/football stadium. The UFC knocked it out of the park by selling 55,000 seats in less than five days.

Sports' lead MMA writer Kevin Iole answers these question and got the reaction from boxing icons Bob Arum and Mike Tyson.
