“When you think about how focused I am right now on South America, from Mexico all the way down to Brazil and the countries we’ve hit this season on the Contender Series, then you think about the global footprint and the brand that we are building all around the world…This show is incredible, and it is one of the greatest avenues for talent and to showcase them with the best against the best. The matchmaking is off the charts on this show.”
Speaking of matchmaking, the winner of the Matchmaker Sweepstakes, Joe, sat Octagonside with White, Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby on Tuesday night after an exciting day inside the UFC headquarters.
White even hinted a potential fight that could be announced for December.
“Joe knew everybody on the roster,” White said. “He did make a fight today…he met a bunch of fighters in the PI and one of them was Cody Garbrandt. They were talking and Garbrandt said, ‘If you are a matchmaker for the day, I want a fight in December’. So, he came in and started pitching us fights for Garbrandt in December and he made a fight.”
