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.
