The UFC boss, Dana White, has planned delightful events for the fans this new year. In February, the fans will expectedly witness the best UFC pound-for-pound fighter, Alexander Volkanovski, locking horns with the current UFC Lightweight Champion, Islam Makhachev at UFC 284. The first UFC event of the year, ‘UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs Imavov’, ended just a few hours ago today. Many fans would agree that the event was an exciting one with a few enthralling bouts.

However, the UFC is determined to continue hosting such exciting events for the fans. The UFC supremo, Dana White, appeared at the post-fight press conference of the most recent UFC Fight Night and talked to the media. He confirmed two superb matchups for the UFC 286 card, which enthralled a lot of fans. The video of White’s interview was also uploaded to UFC’s official Twitter handle, which had the fans presenting a volley of their opinions in the comments section.

Fans were blown out by the revelation from Dana White predicting a fight-stacked March 2023

The official tweet from the UFC’s Twitter handle read, “The announcements keep on coming: @Leon_EdwardsMMA puts his WW title on the line against @Usman84kg in the #UFC286 main event, with @Justin_Gaethje taking on @RafaelFiziev in the co-main!”. The excitement from the fans was quite understandable at the revelation of such showstoppers.

A lot would agree that the UFC fans hadn’t been this enthralled for quite some time.

Fans also exhibit other thoughts in the comments including a cry for tickets

One of the fans perceived White’s awesome fight revelations as a token of apology after his infamous misconduct on new year’s eve. He wrote, “Man’s apology was headliner fights lmaoo”. It was apparent that the fan meant this comment to be funny as well.

One user commented, “I’ll cry if I don’t get tickets for this” displaying his desperation to watch the event live.

While one Twitterati took keen notice of White’s somewhat grey face in the video, despite making such enthralling announcements. He wrote, “Zero concentration. He knows he fu**ed up for life.”

This fan was probably referring to the infamous new year’s eve incident which saw White having a slap-scuffle with his wife. It may be agreed that White was severely criticized after this debacle.

My interest in combat sports began watching scripted pro wrestling shows. It was my father who directed me towards combat sports and it wasn’t until the late 2010s that I discovered the world of MMA and the UFC.

But to my disappointment, I hardly found any followers of the sports to interact with. So I took it upon myself to do my part in popularizing the thrill and the agony behind the purest form of unarmed combat. At EssentiallySports, I try to bring the readers closer to the athletes and focus my coverage on exploring the human side of these martial artists. I’m a musician during my time free from reporting MMA. I operate as the lead vocalist of a rock band that aims to make their mark among the audiences with their original alternative-hard rock songs.
