Dana White guides his former title holders
Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo are two of the best UFC champions in recent times. Usman cleared his division and Cejudo is one of the very few fighters in UFC history to claim the UFC gold at two divisions. Seems like Cejudo and Usman have gotten bitten by the podcast bug. On the recent episode of Pound 4 Pound with Kamaru & Henry, Dana White said,
You guys are in a place in your life where you have already laid the foundation. You have achieved everything you can possibly achieve while you were young. Now you’re looking at what’s next. And where you’re very fortunate is the business that we have bulti here. This isn’t like boxing right? You grab as much money as you can and then that’s it. You’re f**king done. You’re never making any another dollar again for the rest of you life. You guys got a podcast. You guys can commentate. You guys can still be involved in this massive ecosystem.
White made it clear that the former UFC fighters can still make a decent amount of money out of the UFC ecosystem. He emphasized on the fact that there systems at place which help the UFC fighters stay connected with their beloved sport. Kamaru and Henry have won multiple title fights and in the process made millions of dollars during their fighting career. They have already started there very own podcast channel which seems to be doing quite well which seems to be doing quite well engagement wise.
It’ll be interesting to see if Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo will listen to Dana White and stay put with the UFC even after their fighting career comes to an end.
