Dana White didn't hold back when speaking about how Khabib Nurmagomedov's dad changed MMA forever, leading to Islam Makhachev's title reign.

NEW YORK – There's no doubt Islam Makhachev is one of the best fighters of his generation, but it looks like that's expanding further, at least according to UFC CEO Dana White.

Khabib Nurmagomedov had a front-row seat at Saturday’s pay-per-view in New York City as Islam Makhachev made history in the main event. After vacating his lightweight throne to pursue two-division glory, Makhachev dominated Jack Della Maddalena at UFC 322 to become the eleventh fighter to achieve the multi-weight feat in UFC history.

Dillon Danis just got himself blacklisted from the UFC ... because Dana White says the fighter is banned forever after igniting a wild brawl cageside at UFC 322.

Jon Jones has been working hard over the last month to do all he can to change Dana White’s mind and get added to the UFC’s card at the White House next year. The public campaign may be working.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) will return to New York City later this evening (Sat., Nov. 15, 2025) to stage UFC 322 LIVE on ESPN+ pay-per-view (PPV) from inside Madison Square Garden and it’s already trending to be one of the most successful events in company history.
