UFC President Dana White sounds ready to make things right with Anderson Silva. 

After his UFC 212 bout against Kelvin Gastelum dissolved in the wake of a positive test for marijuana on Gastelum's part, Silva responded with hostility on a recent edition of ​The MMA Hour​. During the chat with host Ariel Helwani, Silva demanded an interim title shot against top contender Yoel Romero, saying he'd retire if it didn't materialize. ​

Speaking with Jim Rome, White responded to Silva. 

"I have to deal with tons of different personalities and egos and lots of different things with all of the athletes that I deal with," White said. "Anderson Silva has always been one of those guys that's been unique to deal with, (but) never at this level. I didn't make Kelvin Gastelum test positive for marijuana and pull out of the fight, and we tried to make other fights and get other opponents for him.

"You can't demand a title fight or [say], 'I'm going to retire,' especially when you know that my philosophy is this: If you even mention the word 'retirement,' you should probably retire. I know he's not thrilled and [not] happy with me. He and I need to sit down and do a face-to-face."

Recognizing the depth of Silva's unhappiness, White went on to comment that he and Silva were due for a talk, live and in-person, to clear the air. 

"At the end of the day, despite Anderson Silva going crazy on Instagram and saying all these things right now, he's actually a really nice guy," White said. "He's angry right now and we need to sit down. Everything is better face-to-face, so I probably need to fly out to California and sit down to talk with him--and soon, very soon."
