UFC CEO, Dana White has defended an alleged sour puss on display during this month’s pay-per-view return to Manchester – claiming he was simply just “tired” when strapping the welterweight belt around the newly-minted, Belal Muhammad.
Seeing the Octagon return to Manchester for the first time since 2017, the promotion hosted a championship doubleheader in the ‘Rainy City’ – with both the heavyweight and welterweight crowns on the line.
Successfully defending his interim crown, Tom Aspinall made short work of perennial contender, Curtis Blaydes in a first round onslaught, turning in a knockout win.
