The UFC boss, Dana White, has planned delightful events for the fans this new year. In February, the fans will expectedly witness the best UFC pound-for-pound fighter, Alexander Volkanovski, locking horns with the current UFC Lightweight Champion, Islam Makhachev at UFC 284. The first UFC event of the year, ‘UFC Fight Night: Strickland vs Imavov’, ended just a few hours ago today. Many fans would agree that the event was an exciting one with a few enthralling bouts.
However, the UFC is determined to continue hosting such exciting events for the fans. The UFC supremo, Dana White, appeared at the post-fight press conference of the most recent UFC Fight Night and talked to the media. He confirmed two superb matchups for the UFC 286 card, which enthralled a lot of fans. The video of White’s interview was also uploaded to UFC’s official Twitter handle, which had the fans presenting a volley of their opinions in the comments section.
