UFC president, Dana White, is pessimistic about the current lightweight champion's (up to 70,3kg) possible return to the octagons. In a press conference after the UFC 257, which took place this Saturday (23), in Abu Dhabi, the 'boss' of Ultimate declared that the Russian considers himself 'much above' the possible challengers for the belt and could end his career definitively.
