After the controversial UFC 310 fight, where Alexander Volkov faced Ciryl Gane in a decisive heavyweight matchup, Dana White, the president of the UFC, made it clear that he was taken aback by what transpired in the octagon.
Despite Volkov’s loss by split decision, the UFC president didn’t hold back on evaluating the fight with a straightforward remark.
According to sources close to the event, Dana White stated, “You got hit.” This blunt comment followed what White viewed as an unexpected performance from Volkov, who had hoped to dominate the fight against Gane.
While Volkov did show strong resistance throughout the bout, with successful rounds, particularly in the second, Dana White’s shocking remarks raise questions about the level of performance from the Russian fighter. Could Volkov have done better? Or was Gane simply the better fighter on the night?
Although Volkov remains a prominent name in the heavyweight division, Dana White’s opinion could cast doubt on his future in the UFC. And what about Ciryl Gane? Will he overcome the criticisms of his performance and stay in the running for the title?
The questions remain, but this fight will undoubtedly be a turning point in the fighters’ careers.
