Makachev says White is already looking for a replacement

Islam Makachev, the former UFC lightweight champion, stated that Dana White is already looking for a replacement.

“Previously, the UFC made stars out of anyone they wanted. They handled it themselves—promoting fighters and paying a lot of attention. Now it seems that the UFC itself has lost interest. Dana White is also a big guy, engaged in many other things. If the UFC wants to—they can make a big fight out of anything. They just need Dana White to return to the roots. But a person also loses motivation. He has been at the peak for so long! I know that he is gradually finding people who will replace him.”
