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 questions. Here Is What the boss guy had to say in reaction to the MMA media’s queries:
The bonus for”Battle of the Night” moved to Mike Perry vs. Alex Oliveira, while”Performance of the Night” bonuses went to veterans Glover Teixeira and Jim Miller. White confessed handing out FOTN was a tough choice considering how good the main event between Jack Hermansson and Ronaldo”Jacare” Souza was, but ultimately said he and the matchmakers reached a unanimous decision to give the incentive to Perry and Oliveira.
White reported the UFC booked Hermansson against Souza since they believe he is gifted, and said he was impressed by the fact”The Joker” was prepared to go to the floor with Souza. He explained Souza’s strength in the matchup impressed him, but ultimately he did not get the win.
Hermansson’s win puts him in the name combination at 185lbs, but not until UFC middleweight champion Robert Whittaker and interim UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya try to unify the belt later this season. It is fair to state that Hermansson will require at least more big-name win before he fights to get the middleweight belt.
White said he was not a fan of the co-main event between Greg Hardy and Dmitry Smoliakov. He said the UFC doesn’t do setup fights, regardless of what fans and press were saying on the internet about this particular fight, but said he had been very disappointed in Smoliakov’s performance. He did add that Hardy arrived in great shape for the struggle and did his job by getting the win, but White was very critical of Smoliakov’s cushioned 9-2 record coming into the struggle.
The timing of this NFL draft didn’t have a thing related to Hardy being around the crowed. It was since it had been in Florida and Hardy trains at American Top Team, based on White.
The UFC was happy with the presence and gate and strategies on coming back to Florida at a certain stage.
White said the UFC will Mexico and Puerto Rico. The company is looking at property and is putting out a business plan for both countries. The UFC is trying to”kickstart the marketplace” by building a performance institute in Puerto Rico, to give jobs to individuals impacted by the hurricanes.
White blamed American Top Team owner Dan Lambert for spending money to grow the Florida regional MMA scene.
White said he had been impressed by Perry’s performance, and praised how he stayed composed against Oliveira even if he was hurt. The UFC is quite high on Perry and this win over Oliveira could push him to the top-15.
The UFC was designed to match with Conor McGregor in Miami, but will instead meet with him in Los Angeles soon.
Tony Ferguson has no return date set but White stated he would like to book him as soon as he’s cleared to battle.
White said the UFC’s decision to visit Miami or Ft. Lauderdale next time they head to Florida will rely on who fights on the card.
