UFC returns to Madison Square Garden tomorrow with a card that features two title bouts, as Colby Covington challenges Kamaru Usman for the welterweight belt and Rose Namajunas meets Weili Zhang to determine the top woman in the strawweight division.
UFC President Dana White first began promoting UFC shows with UFC 30 in February of 2001, and he has witnessed—and played a role—in the company’s remarkable growth over the past two decades, including the opportunity to hold fight cards in the state of New York.
Speaking with Sports Illustrated, White provided insight to the 268 card, as well as discussed Fedor Emelianenko, Glover Teixeira, Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor.
