After the show, the press was able to speak with Dana White and some of the fighters (Liddell, Griffin, Sanchez, Jardine, and Fitch) who participated in UFC 76. Dana always seems to be in a good mood directly after a UFC event and was pretty lose-lipped with the press. There is about 20 mins of video footage out there if you want to check it out, but here are some of the press conference highlights.
* - There were approx. 16,000 in attendance at UFC 76 with $2,000,000 in box office revenue
* - Tyson Griffin and Thiago Tavares were award “Fight of the Night” honors by Dana (+a $40k bonus)
* - Forrest Griffin was awarded “Submission of the Night” (+ a $40k bonus)
* - The UFC prez said The Ultimate Fighters kids deserve more respect
* - Chuck Liddell is undecided as to what his next move will be
* - Diego Sanchez is considering dropping down to 155lbs
* - Due to injury, Quinton Rampage won’t fight again until 2008
* - Diego felt the decision in favor of Jon Fitch was fair
* - If Sean Sherk doesn’t get reinstated, Joe Stevenson will likely face BJ Penn for the Lightweight Title
