UFC president Dana White recently sat in talks with MMA Underground’s John Morgan and gave a deeper dive into the heavyweight division picture. He also talked about fan-favorite Nate Diaz’s next fight.

The Cameroonian champion Francis Ngannou currently reigns the heavyweight division of UFC. He sat on the throne by defeating one of the best heavyweights ever, Stipe Miocic.

Ever since then, Miocic has been inactive in the promotion. However, he has hinted at a return soon. Meanwhile, another vicious fighter, Jon Jones, who is regarded as the GOAT of the game, has entered the heavyweight division after vacating his light heavyweight title in 2020.

‘Bones’ is awaiting his heavyweight debut fight. Hence, the UFC supremo believes Miocic would be a good match for the former light heavyweight champion.

While talking about Jones in the interview, White said, “I agree with you a 100 percent that he is still the greatest of all time. And yeah, I mean, obviously we got Francis right now. His knee. We are waiting on that. See how long that’s gonna be then? You know, he and Stipe probably makes sense. Either Vegas or New York.”

Further on White also shed light on his relationship with the heavyweight champion Ngannou. He said, “No, it’s the same as ever there’s no lost cause. It’s all business and we will see how it plays out.”

Dana White talks about Nate Diaz’s next fight

Stockton’s second child and one of the oldest prospects of UFC Nate Diaz made his UFC return in 2021. He took on the British fighter, Leon Edwards, but lost the fight.

However, it wasn’t his last fight in the promotion. He still has one fight left on his contract. But the wait for his last fight has frustrated Diaz, and he has gone on a rant for the same on his social media accounts several times.
