The Tate brothers were finally permitted to leave Romania earlier this month and traveled to various cities in the United States. They notably attended UFC 313 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas the day after Power Slap.
As for Pimblett, he is set to face Michael Chandler in the co-main event of UFC 314 on April 12 at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida. It will be the first five-rounder of 'The Baddy's' UFC career.
Dana White welcomes Andrew and Tristan Tate at Power Slap 12
The Tate brothers are former kickboxers, with Andrew notably competing in MMA as well. The polarizing figures attended their first-ever UFC event earlier this month, and the night before, they met UFC CEO Dana White at Power Slap 12.
Their link-up drew a variety of reactions from fans, with many criticizing White for allowing the Tates to attend the event. However, Andrew and Tristan have a positive relationship with many in the MMA community, including Sean O'Malley, Khamzat Chimaev, and more.
