Is Dana White biting off more than he can chew with his new boxing endeavor?
Earlier this year, White announced that he was finally getting into the boxing business, using the UFC model as a blueprint to help “break down” a sport that has lost its way and rebuild it “from the ground up.” However, White is likely to run into a lot of opposition along the way.
In short, White’s plan aims to disregard the four sanctioning bodies of professional boxing (WBO, WBC, WBA, and IBF) in favor of a simpler model that will see one champion per weight class with contenders working their way up the rankings, similar to fighters in the UFC.
