Our friends at MMA Mania bring us this pic from last night's (March 19, 2013) episode of UFC Tonight on FUEL TV, where they showcased a "Tale of the Tape" between WWE leader Vince McMahon and UFC President Dana White.

Or maybe he's just working us all, as he later added "Reason your guys work in a ring and not an Octagon is because nobody on your roster can count to 8, you DOPE." Then, later "Just because your teeth are fake that don't mean they can't get PUNCHED OUT, y'big mark!?" Thoughts?
