Dana White spoke about the popularity of MMA

Dana White, UFC CEO, expressed his opinion about the popularity of mixed martial arts in the world.

When you get into MMA, it completely consumes you. This is an amazing thing. Valentina Shevchenko meets with the president of the country every time she comes there. Khabib got calls all the time. The royal dynasty at the tournaments in Abu Dhabi... I could go on for a long time. Yes, even people with power and money fall in love with MMA. When you find yourself close to MMA, you get sucked in,” the functionary said at a press conference held today after UFC 298.

Let us remind you that earlier Dana White said that he does not know whether former UFC champion in two weight categories Conor McGregor will return to the Octagon.
