Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White is tying a ribbon on another successful event, as UFC on FOX 24 took place last night (Sat., April 15, 2017) from the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
Headlining the event was a Flyweight title fight that saw Demetrious Johnson defend his title for the tenth straight time against Wilson Reis (see it) tying Anderson Silva’s longtime record of consecutive UFC title defenses.
So what did White think of Johnson’s dominant performance?
“He couldn’t have fought a more perfect fight. This guy continues to evolve and get better when he is already the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. He absolutely demolished him on his feet, the punch stats were ridiculous. Then what does he do? He jumps down on the ground. How many people do you really see going for armbars these days? It’s a dangerous move these days because it puts you in a bad position, and a lot of people can get out. But, he armbars a Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion. What did you do wrong tonight? Nothing!’ Maybe he walked out to fast, I don’t know the kid is amazing.”
As for what White wants to see next from “Mighty Mouse,” he’d love nothing more than to see him breaks Anderson Silva’s record for title defenses and then extended to the point to where it can’t be broken. After that, he’d be open to put together a “super fight” with the 135-pound champion for his most dominant champion ever.
