LAS VEGAS -- The lights were off in the Mandalay Bay Events Center, the crowd had moved on to the Strip's casinos with UFC memories fresh in their minds, and the fighters had dispersed -- some to their after-parties, others to the hospital.

Tucked away in a conference room, he answered reporters' questions, one after another. The questioner's accents told the story of success the UFC has become. Media came from Japan, Canada, the UK, Germany and other far-off lands, with the UFC passing out over 240 credentials to the event, a record.
And at the center of it all, fittingly, was White, the seemingly indefatigable, polarizing ringleader who ostensibly through force of will moved the UFC from sideshow spectacle to booming sport.
