LAS VEGAS – Dana White doesn’t think the UFC 313 main event lived up to his expectations, but that doesn’t deter him from running it back.
In that main event, Magomed Ankalaev dethroned Alex Pereira to become champion. The unanimous decision decision was reached Saturday after 25 minutes of fighting at T-Mobile Arena.
“It was not what I expected,” White told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a post-fight news conference. “I expected a lot more shooting. I expected a lot more exchanges.”
Despite being let down by the fight, White said he thought the correct combatant won.
“I don’t know if I had the exact score in my head, but I thought Ankalaev won the fight
