UFC FIGHT NIGHT 150 POST-FIGHT PRESSER NEWS AND NOTES

UFC president Dana White talked to reporters following UFC Fight Night 150 and answered their queries. Here’s what the boss guy had to say in reaction to the MMA media’s queries:
The bonus for”Fight of the Night” went to Mike Perry vs. Alex Oliveira, while”Performance of the Night” bonuses moved to veterans Glover Teixeira and Jim Miller. White confessed handing out FOTN was a tough choice considering how good the primary event between Jack Hermansson and Ronaldo”Jacare” Souza was, but finally said he and the matchmakers reached a unanimous decision to provide the bonus to Perry and Oliveira.
White said the UFC booked Hermansson against Souza because they believe he is gifted, and said he had been pleased with the fact”The Joker” was willing to go to the ground with Souza. He said the strength in the matchup of Souza also impressed him, but finally he did not get the win.
Hermansson’s win puts him in the name combination at 185lbs, but not before UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and interim UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya try to unify the belt later this season. It’s fair to state that Hermansson will require at least more big-name win until he fights to get the middleweight belt.
White said he wasn’t a lover of this co-main occasion between Dmitry Smoliakov and Greg Hardy. He explained the UFC does not do set-up fights, regardless of what fans and media were saying on the internet about this fight, but said he had been really disappointed in Smoliakov’s functionality. He did add that Hardy arrived in good shape for the fight and did his job from getting the win, but White was quite critical of Smoliakov’s padded 9-2 record coming into the struggle.
The timing of this NFL draft did not have a thing to do with Hardy being on the crowed. It was because it had been in Florida and Hardy trains in American Top Team, according to White.
The UFC was pleased with the presence and gate and strategies on coming back to Florida at a certain stage.
White said the UFC is going to Mexico and Puerto Rico. The business is looking at property and is putting out a business plan for both countries. The UFC is attempting to”kickstart the market” by constructing a performance institute in Puerto Rico, to provide jobs to people impacted by the hurricanes.
White credited American Top Team owner Dan Lambert for spending cash to develop the Florida regional MMA scene.
White said he had been impressed with Perry’s functionality, and commended how he remained composed against Oliveira even if he had been hurt. The UFC is quite high on Perry and this triumph over Oliveira could push him into the top-15.
The UFC was designed to meet with Conor McGregor in Miami, but will instead meet with him in Los Angeles soon.
Tony Ferguson has no return date set but White said he would like to book as soon as he’s cleared to battle.
White said the UFC’s choice to go to either Miami or Ft. Lauderdale the next time they head to Florida will depend on who fights on the card.
