We must pay tribute to the UFC and to Dana White, who, in these difficult political times, has remained true to the sport and its policy that sport is beyond politics.

You can treat him differently, his behavior is not always standard. He is quite consistent and impartial. It’s good. And it’s cool that the fighters can carry the flags and feel the responsibility that falls on them. Yes, it’s an individual sport, but there is a responsibility: the fans, the country, the flag, the homeland. Added to this is motivation and the will to win. That’s cool and good news. Hopefully this will be the starting point for everything to return to normal,” Badaev told .
