UFC President Dana White Reveals the “Greatest Combat Sports Fight to Ever Happen” & It’s Not What You Think

Dana White is arguably the most important name in the UFC. He played a major role in building the promotion into a multi-billion enterprise. Recently, he revealed what, according to him, was the “greatest combat sports fight” and it’s not what most fans would think of.

White recently did a Q&A session, which was posted on the official YouTube channel of the UFC. In one segment, the two got into the upcoming UFC 275 fixtures, and White revealed the greatest combat sports fight, according to him.

White said, “How could you not be excited for, you know, the rematch of probably the greatest combat sports fight to ever happen between Weili Zhang and Joanna Jędrzejczyk. So you know, when you ask me what I’m excited about, I mean it’s hard not to talk about what’s happening this weekend.”

It is clear that White is beyond excited for this rematch and thinks that it could be “the greatest combat sports fight.”

The Historic Bout

The first match between Weili Zhang and Joanna Jędrzejczyk was an all-time classic. Fans even called it the greatest women’s fight in the UFC.

There was no surprise that this fight was crowned the fight of the night. The two went at each other for the entire 25 minutes and traded blow for blow. There was almost no pause or dull moment in the entire fight. From round 1 all the way to round 5, the two traded shots and had identical strikes after each round.

The two women kept going back and forth, throwing everything in their arsenal – including knees, elbows and kicks. As a result, they managed to land critical strikes and wobbled each other.

At the end of the fight, the two fighters suffered multiple cuts and swelling. Jedrzejczyk suffered a huge swelling on her forehead, which grabbed the fans’ attention. This bout was extremely difficult to score, but Zhang won the fight via a split decision (48-47, 47-48, 48-47).

If the rematch plays out just like it did in the first bout, it would undoubtedly be considered a candidate for the fight of the year. What did you think of Dana White’s comments? Do you agree with him? Let us know in the comments below.
