Recently, the UFC president talked to the media. He covered a wide range of subjects. However, the focus of the conversation was on UFC 285. The media asked white about his thoughts on people overlooking the fight between Shevchenko and Grasso as they are way too excited about the match between Jones and Gane.

After listening to the question, the president remarked that it happens a lot of times. People often forget to check the other fights on the fight card because they get too caught up in the excitement of the main event. Nonetheless, White stated that one reason for such excitement for UFC 285 is due to the fact that Bones is coming back to the octagon after nearly three long years.

In the YouTube video uploaded by The Mac Life, White said: “The whole card is badass and obviously Valentina versus Grasso is an incredible card, and if Valentina beats her. I mean, it’s just like this woman is absolutely amazing and she’s so sweet, talented and so low-key.”
