Dana White responded to Makhachev's criticism of the UFC's P4P rating

“I love Islam. But he says he doesn't care about the UFC rankings only because he's pissed off about his current position in the UFC rankings. Everyone cares about the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings. I understand it. I understand Makhachev’s mindset and understand why he accepted the rematch against Volkanovski. The first fight was very controversial and close. Now the guys have a chance to dot all the i's.
