Dana White will still have the feeling that he got it after being proven that he has proven wrong at UFC Vegas 105.
The UFC boss rejected Torrez Finney famous twice after victories on the Contender Series.
Dana White briefly predicted that the 11-0 middleweight would be 'decimated' in the most important promotion of MMA before he finally signed him after a third victory over the Talent Scouting show of the UFC.
However, he can regret that decision after Finney's terribly boring debut at UFC Vegas 105.

Torrez Finney establishes unwanted UFC record
Finney turned out to be white by Robert Valentin dominating with his wrestling on Saturday evening.
The 26-year-old scored 8 Takedowns from no fewer than 17 attempts and picked up 13 minutes of control time.
Eventually he walked away with a split decision gain that was historic because of his lack of striking attack.
Finney only landed 4 important strikes during his first 15 minutes in the UFC -Oachthoek, which is the least of every decision winner in the history of the middleweight.
Torrez Finney admits that UFC debut was a 'dud'
Finney admitted that he was a gun during his UFC debut, but he didn't know why that was.
“I don't know what it was stopping me,” he said during his press conference after the fight.
“A mental block? Trust? But, man, there was so much to be desired for myself.
“I would say it's a strange performance. That was a guy in my honest opinion. It happens.
“This is the best thing I felt to go into a fight, it was just a guy.
“Heck, I felt much worse than this went into a fight, and I had incredible performances.
“So sometimes it's just the night. Tonight was one of those nights.
