“The fight between (Jorge) Masvidal and (Kamaru) Usman, now, is a great battle to make. Jorge defeated Nate diaz fighting for the 'BFF' (symbolic 'Toughest' belt created for the UFC 244) and now he can fight for a real belt against a guy who is really tough,” said White.
The president also commented on the situation in the featherweight division, which met its new champion this Saturday. In the battle against the hitherto undisputed Max Holloway, Alexander surprised the critics and emerged victorious in the judges' unanimous decision, beating the favorite.
“He (Volkanovski) was incredible today. Business in Australia (the new champion's country) has been great for us (UFC). I think we can do the rematch in Australia. I don’t know,” said the ‘boss.
The new welterweight and featherweight title fights, however, are unlikely to happen before the first half of 2020, as the company already presents plans to hold numbered cards (with title fights) until April and there is still the possibility of scheduling the rematch between Stipe Miocic e Daniel Cormier.
