Dana White labels Sergei Pavlovich vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik as "horrible"
At the post-fight conference, UFC CEO Dana White was asked about his thoughts on the contest between Sergei Pavlovich and Jairzinho Rozenstruik. He branded the fight "horrible."
White said:
"Horrible. Horrible fight...Sergei won. He won the fight . Wasn’t fun to watch. The only fight all night that got booed. But he won at the end of the day. Styles make fights and it’s not like he’s normally in bad fights, the guy comes in throws hard punches and tonight just wasn’t fun."
White added:
"Francis [Ngannou] and Derrick Lewis is probably one of the s****iest fights of all time... But you look at those two separately, it wasn’t their night tonight. But it doesn’t diminish what Sergei is capable of doing. ”
