It's hard to grasp in words, you can't even put it into martial arts words, you've really got to put it in a warrior style, or war and how people used to approach war back in the vintage times. Actually going in there, not sleeping for four days, not eating, going in the cold and obliterating an opponent. That's how close you've got to get to coming in how he approaches a fight, and I take a lot from that.

Carlos Ulberg is deserving of a title fight at light heavyweight. I would love to see Jirí Procházka fight for a title again, too, especially considering there were unique circumstances around both of his losses to Alex Pereira (in 2023 and 2024). But Pereira is such a special case right now. He is arguably the biggest star on the UFC's roster, and there are megafights for him at heavyweight -- namely, a potential matchup against England's champion, Aspinall. If Aspinall beats Gane at UFC

"I said 'how bout we win tonight and focus on tonight, and then we can talk about heavyweight?' I don't know," White told media outlets including Cageside Press following UFC 320 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. "There's still fights here in this division, but we'll see. This guy has been an absolute stud for us."

"People are used to seeing me fighting all the time. Now I'm resting my body a little. The next fight should be in October. September, October or November."

I was offered to fight Alex [at] International Fight Week, if the man don't want it let's move on. I'm ready for everyone. I dare you.
