UFC President Dana White appeared at the UFC Liverpool post-fight press conference, where he spoke on several topics. You can see highlights of his discussion below.
– Dana White said he wasn't sure who won the main event because the fight was too close.
– Darren Till will probably compete in Las Vegas next, but the UFC will return to Liverpool.
– White and Conor McGregor are set to have a meeting in Las Vegas soon, as the planned meeting this week didn't end up happening. He's convinced that both Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor want to fight one another.
– Craig White will be given another opportunity after facing Neil Magny on short notice.
– When asked why CM Punk is on the UFC 225 pay-per-view card instead of Alistair Overeem, White notes that CM Punk sells more pay-per-views than Overeem.
