He claimed that there are two sides to every situation. Nevertheless, people will always talk about Conor McGregor, which is apparent in their eagerness to see the Irishman fight soon.

Dana White faces another UFC 297 blow

A few weeks ago, Jan Blachowicz had to pull out from his scheduled fight against Aleksandar Rakić at UFC 297. However, a shoulder injury forced the Polish fighter to pull out. Meanwhile, a similar situation popped up with Dana White facing another setback. Carlos Ulberg, who was scheduled to face Dominick Reyes, also pulled out of the first 2024 pay-per-view.

Dominick Reyes announced this news on social media, confirming that the New Zealand fighter suffered an injury, too. Some sources have claimed that the UFC is considering rescheduling the fight on March 30th at Atlantic City, but an official confirmation is yet to be received from the UFC. It remains to be seen how Dana White navigates this situation, as fans have expressed their disappointment regarding the situation.

He will now be known as Abdul Wahid, which means ‘The Slave of the One’.

Through a video posted by fellow boxer Badou Jack on X, the public was made aware of his conversion and name change. Soon after, UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev openly referred to ‘Tank’ by his new official name on Twitter (X). ‘Borz’ shared a picture of Gervonta Davis, captioning it: “Abdul Vahid… Alhamdulilah.” It wasn’t just Khamzat Chimaev.
