Dana White with some kind words for Israel Adesanya

At one point in the interview, White was talking about UFC bantamweight Henry Cejudo’s legacy. Using Adesanya as an example, he quickly shifted the conversation and made it about the Stylebender for a while.

He expressed his admiration for Adesanya, who possesses a genuine passion to consistently compete at the highest level. He emphasized the importance of having fighters who are willing to step into the Octagon frequently, satisfying the hunger of both the fight fans and the MMA media.

“Look at Israel! Israel wants to fight every three months. When you’re a real fight fan and I would imagine that probably goes with the MMA media too. They want to see a guy that wants to fight.

It’s just like you know that’s what fight fans love.”

Dana White explains why Henry Cejudo is underrated

Coming to the original point of Dana White’s discussion, the UFC president was initially talking about Henry Cejudo’s legacy in the UFC. When the reporter asked White whether he thinks Cejudo is underrated, White had an interesting response.

According to Dana White, Cejudo retired at the wrong point of his career, where he could have rather cemented his position as an all-time great. “You know why he’s underrated? Because he retired when he could have really put a stamp on it. You really want to solidify yourself as one of the all-time greats? You have to do a lot more than he did do.”
