Dana White vs. Islam Makhachev
Conversation between Dana White and Islam Makhachev
“Obviously there's a huge Muslim community out here in New York, and also you have to look at the fact that Islam [Makhachev] is looked at as one of the best ever. Islam has done so much. It's basically like a Muslim country right now. I'm sure Jack is feeling it -via DNA FOR SPORTS, discussing the atmosphere and support for Islam Makhachev in New York ahead of the fight (UFC 322)”
“This will knock Ilia [Topuria] off the number one spot if he beats Jack -stating that Islam Makhachev's win over Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 will make him the new #1 Pound-for-Pound fighter, supplanting Ilia Topuria”
“In the UFC, I think, they started working on this less [promoting fights]. In the UFC before, they would make a star out of anyone... Now, somehow, the UFC itself has lost interest. Dana is also already a big guy. He's involved in many other things too, you know - via UDAR KAMAL, commenting on the UFC's perceived reduction in effort toward promoting fighters and the busyness of Dana White.”
