Light heavyweight champion (up to 93 kg), former middleweight champion (up to 83,9 kg) and known for the destructive power of his fists, in addition to his intimidating profile, Alex Poatán was left out of the list of 'most dangerous fighters in the UFC', made by Dana White in a recent interview.

In an interview with 'Piers Morgan Uncensored', on the night of last Monday (3), the UFC president was asked about who would be the most dangerous fighter in the UFC. Dana immediately responded Jon Jones, but extended the list by citing the names of Islam makhachev, Ilia Topuria e Max Holloway.

"Jon Jones is still the best of all time, but we have a lot of guys who are dangerous. Islam makhachev, who is now number 1 pound for pound in the world, and the list goes on. Ilia Topuria is one of the best of all time, Max Holloway is still one of the wildest guys on the planet. Lots and lots of really tough guys,” the president listed.

The absence of Alex Poatán on the list certainly did not go unnoticed by fans, who were present in the comments of the video published by the 'MMA Orbit' page on Twitter.

“Aren’t you forgetting someone, Dana?” asked one fan.

“Surprised he didn’t mention Alex Pereira in that group. He’s the only one I would add to the most dangerous players in the UFC right now,” said another.

“How come Alex Pereira’s name didn’t come to his mind at that moment?”, asked a third internet user.

Off Dana White's list, Alex Poatán prepares to defend the light heavyweight belt for the fourth time in a duel against Magomed Ankalayev in the main fight of UFC 313, on 8 March.
