UFC is the biggest and perhaps the most decorated MMA promotion in the world. In the past decade, the promotion and its fighters have seen a steep rise in their overall growth. Moreover, UFC has completely overshadowed boxing by lining up some of the best fighters against each other. And the major credit for this promotion’s success goes to the supremo, Dana White.

The latter completely redefined the MMA vertical, and he opened a route for talented fighters around the world to showcase their talents.
That said, fighters too grabbed the opportunity with open arms and they created some sensational moments inside the UFC octagon.
Recently, Matchroom Boxing’s chairman, Eddie Hearn, revealed some words of encouragement for Dana White.
“Dana White is a legend. Dana White is a legend, very good at what he does,” he said.
UFC fights always manage to get the required attention from fight fans around the globe. Unlike boxing, there’s no rigmarole in staging any UFC fight between two fighters. That’s why fans love this promotion as they get to see what they like.
On the other hand, boxing lovers tend to be unsatisfied at times because they don’t get to see their favorite fighters sharing the ring space together. Also, the delay in booking vital fights puts a dent in the sport and fans quickly vanquish.
