After Wanderlei's fight against Rich Franklin at UFC 147, Dana White reacted :

“It’s tough to say. Wanderlei, I said it last night too and I’ll say it again. This guy used to be my arch enemy over in PRIDE, you know? I wanted that Chuck (Liddell) fight so bad with him when he was in PRIDE, and one of the things I respect about him since day one, since he came into the UFC he’s acted like he’s been in the UFC his whole career. He’s been an honest stand-up guy with us, he’s been more than awesome and Wanderlei’s going to be with us for a long time whether he’s fighting or not, so we’ll figure that out.”
