Dana White spoke out to Complex and gave a comprehensive breakdown of UFC 258 that goes down in Las Vegas. The long-time UFC President has been making the media rounds and his interview with the entertainment network was insightful. UFC 258 features a titanic clash between Kamaru Usman and Gilbert Burns for Usman’s undisputed welterweight strap.
‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ has scalped through several UFC championship-caliber fighters, including Tyron Woodley and Colby Covington recently. Additionally, he’s also been picking up dominant wins for a meaningful period before he captured the belt.
He’ll now test himself against ‘Durinho’ Burns, who comes in as one of his former training partners for several years. The two have been helping each other train for a long time prior to their booking.

The company President left no stone unturned when hyping up the match-up that goes down at the Apex Facility. White waxed poetically on the impact both fighters have had as of late in the welterweight division. Chiefly, both men have put in plenty of work to reach this stage in their career, and their record certainly reflects that.
“This fight was supposed to happen a while ago, and some things happened that made it not. I’ve been so excited for this fight for so long. Usman is nasty, this kid is 17-1, he is the welterweight champion. If this kid wins on Saturday night, he breaks Georges St-Pierre’s consecutive fight streak record.
