Dana White has said countless times that he wants to deliver those “holy sh*t” moments with unexpected matchups. Fans dream of fights like Alex Pereira vs. Jon Jones or Islam Makhachev vs. Ilia Topuria, though they rarely believe they’ll happen. After this year’s final event, UFC’s CEO is hyping fans, teasing that the 2025 announcements will include surprises no one expected. Fans are buzzing with anticipation, eager to see what matchups will shake up the sport.
Following the disappointing doctor stoppage in the Colby Covington vs. Joaquin Buckley fight, Dana White spoke at the post-fight presser with some exciting news. He confirmed that the heavyweight unification bout between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall is a done deal for 2025. White also hinted at something else brewing behind the scenes—something so big that fans will go wild once they hear about it. The UFC CEO is definitely keeping everyone on edge for what’s to come.
He said, “I anticipate a lot of big fights. I’ve got something in the works right now that will drive you f***ers crazy, all you guys would be running around. And I got something in the works that you will never f***ing see coming for 2025, that literally started to come together last night.”
Fans quickly started speculating about what Dana White’s big surprise could be. Some suggested a BMF tournament, while others predicted massive matchups like Jones vs. Aspinall or even Pereira taking on top contenders. The rumors keep swirling. Meanwhile, UFC continues to deliver major events like UFC 300 and the Sphere, keeping the excitement high and fueling even more anticipation for what’s next.
