Today at UFC 311 in Los Angeles, USA, the Dagestani suffered the first defeat of his career, losing to the Georgian by unanimous decision of the judges.
"No, there's not going to be a title shot. He's moving back down to contender. I don't want anyone fighting injured. It's happened many times before. Have consulted with doctors and other specialists.
Sometimes you get a chance and you miss it. Umar missed his chance. We'll see how things play out in the future. I have no idea if he could have put up a better fight. Only he knows that," White said at the press conference.
