UFC head Dana White listed the fighters who have the potential to become stars of the promotion in the future.
“Who could be the next star? I don’t know, there are several candidates. For example, Dricus du Plessis. Khamzat Chimaev is a big name, he could soon fight for the champion title.
Sean O'Malley recently won the belt. And then there’s Strickland — no one gave a damn about him a week ago, and now he’s the most popular fighter in the organization,” White said in an interview with Adam’s Apple.
