Dana White's surprising take
Dana White shared his candid thoughts on Ian Garry's victory over Michael 'Venom' Page at the UFC 303 post-fight press conference. The UFC President didn't mince words, stating, "Yeah, you know, Sean [Shelby] and Mick [Maynard] felt that that fight would play out exactly the way it did."
White continued, "We talked about it leading up to this fight. I had that fight a draw. Yeah. I mean, if they came out and said that fight was a draw, that's exactly what I thought that fight was, too."
White broke down the fight round by round. "Obviously, Ian won the first round, MVP won the second round. It was 50-50 in the third round," he said. One surprising moment for White was when "MVP had that top position, and he gave it up. He stood up and gave up that top position."
