White also revealed how he got associated with Howler Head. He said, “I got involved in Howler Head through The Rock and Brad Slater and realised that this thing could be huge. It’s like nothing else in the market, actually tastes good, and it fits perfectly with the UFC brand.” Dwayne Johnson’s contribution towards leading while in this business seems immense.

He revealed, “We’re coming back with the rematch.” He also stated that the UK showdown would be scheduled for March 2023 and possibly feature a trilogy fight between the current UFC Welterweight Champion and ‘local boy’ Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards and Kamaru ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ Usman for the main event.

Most would agree to the fact that the UK has always been a good host for the UFC with passionate fans around. With the ‘homeboy’ Edwards taking the Octagon, a UFC event in the UK can definitely be expected to become a huge crowd-puller. This, in turn, brings better revenues for the UFC president, allowing him to plan more ventures.
