Following UFC 311, Dana White was speaking to reporters and was asked if Chimaev would get a title shot following the match between Dricuss Du Plessis and Sean Strickland. "Yeah, I think he probably gets the next shot," White responded to the question about Chimaev getting the next middleweight title shot.

Just days before UFC 199 was to be the premier MMA promotion’s first fight card in Inglewood, UFC President Dana White raved about the recently remodeled Forum and called it the nicest arena he’d ever toured.

While lightweight champion Islam Makhachev officially has been ranked as the promotion’s pound-for-pound best for quite some time, White has spent the past year vehemently making the case for Jones. But that changed Saturday night after Makhachev submitted replacement Renato Moicano in the first round of the UFC 311 main event at Intuit Dome.
