Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White said that all fighters in the promotion will now enter the Octagon under their national flag again. His words are quoted addicted to MMA.
“Flags are back! Will the Russians be able to come out with a flag? Yes! There’s a lot going on in this company, you can’t control absolutely everything. Sometimes decisions are made in good faith. Everyone knows my attitude towards various events in the world. In short, I don’t care. And this is the answer to most questions. Everyone has become so soft, so sensitive. If some flags hurt your feelings, that really sucks,” White said.
In the spring of 2022, White canceled the appearance of flag warriors.
The closest UFC tournament in which a Russian fighter will participate will be UFC 294. It will take place on October 21. The main fight of the night will be the fight between Russian Islam Makhachev and Charles Oliveira. This will be a championship fight for the lightweight belt. Makhachev defended his title against Alex Volkanovski in February.
Previously Usman Nurmagomedov stated about his desire to continue father Khabib’s legacy.
