Islam Makhachev, the lightweight champion, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of promotion of the UFC 284 main event. The UFC is famous for promoting big fights. Moreover, Dana White, the UFC president, is considered one of the best promoters in combat sports. However, this time, White has had a shift of focus on promoting his new business venture, Power Slap League. Subsequently, this has led to him not being able to properly promote the Makhachev and Volkanovski mega-fight.

This shift in focus has raised concerns among fans and has left many feeling disillusioned. The UFC president’s recent approach to the matter has also left a bitter aftertaste in the mouths of fans.

Dana White’s alarming comment regarding Makhachev-Volkanovski mega-fight

Dana White shocked the internet with a major announcement recently about Conor McGregor‘s return to the UFC and his fight against Michael Chandler. He shared the news via a live social media broadcast. But, he lacked the same drive to promote the lightweight champion’s fight.

A fan commented on White‘s post, “Maybe he’ll finally promote 284 instead of slap fighting“. White replied, “Don’t count on it.”
