Dana White, UFC CEO, responded to the question of whether fighters should take risks and take fights on short notice.
"Certainly. 100 percent. When you reach this level... take Volkanovski, heās on the list of the best fighters regardless of weight category. Of course, you need to accept such opportunities, take risks...,ā the functionary said.
Let us remind you that Tom Aspinall accepted the fight with Sergei Pavlovich on short notice and won the fight ahead of schedule, becoming the interim UFC heavyweight champion.
