When asked whether it would be a fun fight, White replied positively. He said, “Yeah, I mean, they’re all fun. Look at tonight. … Even the cards that get doubted are usually the best cards, you know ever.”

While fans are already excited about seeing ‘El Cucuy’ in the ring, it seems that he might fight against one of Ali Abdelaziz’s clients from the lightweight division. The famous manager works with several fighters like Justin Gaethje, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Islam Makhachev, to name a few.
