“Get Your Two TV’s Ready”: Dana White Not Worried by Canelo Alvarez’s Match Falling on Same Date as UFC 274

As the UFC gears up for yet another smashing event on May 7, fans are excited to witness some big fighters in the octagon. UFC 274 is just around the corner and has some great fights on the cards. Dana White spoke about them in a recent interview.

The UFC President appeared in an interview with ‘Yahoo! Sports’ recently and discussed various aspects of the sport. However, one thing people have been wanting to know is whether Canelo Alvarez’s boxing on May 7 will hamper UFC’s next event in any way.

As Alvarez’s match and UFC 274 takes place on May 7, many combat sports fans might have to decide between the two. Speaking about the same, White said, “Yeah, no. I think what happens is, you know, I am watching the Canelo fight, you know what I mean? And I think that’s the way a lot of fight fans feel. So I think they’ll watch both. I think they’ll watch us and I think they’ll watch Canelo. I think a great night for fight fans.”

Yahoo Sports interviewer, Kevin Iole pointed out how such a clash had happened once before. Alvarez’s match against Caleb Plant took roughly at the same time as UFC 268 main and co-main event, as per Iole.

As a result, it looks like something similar is about to happen soon. But White has a message for combat sports fans. He said, “Yeah, get your two TV’s ready.”

Many fans are excited to see Tony Ferguson make a comeback with the event. Thus, he expects ‘El Cucuy’ and Michael Chandler to have an awesome fight.

In addition to this, Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje will battle it out as part of the main event. Because of two such important fights from the lightweight division, it seems like an important night for the weight class.
