South Beach impresses the UFC President
Sean O’Malley was challenged on Saturday for his gold by Ecuadorian great Marlon Vera. Safe to say he stood up to the task and put on a clinic by testing Vera’s chin throughout five rounds. The whole arena was on their feet witnessing the sheer violence taking place in front of their eyes. The event in Miami turned out to be one of the biggest in UFC’s history. It was revealed that the UFC collected a massive 14 million dollars through the footfall.
Dana White in the after-fight press conference was asked a rather peculiar question by a journalist. White was quizzed about whether the upcoming fight event UFC 305 will be held in Miami referring to the fact that Miami’s area code is 305. To which Dana replied,
That’s interesting. That’s interesting. It’s funny. Never even thought of it till you just said it.
One thing’s for sure the Miami locals will love another UFC event taking place in their city.
Dana White hails Dustin Poirier
UFC veteran Dustin Poirier has been on top of the lightweight rankings for a while. After losing to Justin Gaethje in his last bout a massive challenge was waiting for Poirier in the form of Benoit-Saint Davis. Dustin defied the odds and beat Benoit in the second round by a knockout garnering massive praise from UFC boss Dana white. He called Dustin a “Legend” for his spectacular performance. The 35-year-old made it clear that he still belongs at the top of the lightweight rankings. After losing the first two title fights of his career it will be interesting to see if Dustin squares up against Islam Makhachev in the future for the lightweight gold.
