“I never agree with (a fighter) waiting. When you sit out and wait for a title fight, it usually doesn't happen. Things never go the way they should, and you end up sitting around too long, people start to forget about you, and it's never a wise decision to just sit back. If they offer you a fight, you should take it,” White said.

Inaugural strawweight champion (up to 52,1kg), the North American has already won Rose namajunas, Marina Rodriguez e yan xiaonan.
