O UFC Tampa, which took place last Saturday (14), ended with an unexpected controversy in the main fight between Colby covington e Joaquin buckley. After a serious cut above 'Caos' right eye, the fight was stopped in the third round by a doctor. The decision divided opinions, especially that of Dana White, who, in the post-event press conference, raised questions about the local commission's stance, suggesting that the fight should have continued in Las Vegas.

“Without a doubt, the cut was ugly, but I am sure that if the fight had been in Las Vegas, it would have continued,” declared the UFC president, visibly dissatisfied with the stoppage.

Although he acknowledged the severity of the injury, White highlighted Colby's resilience, who, according to him, was ready to continue fighting, even with the discomfort caused by the cut.

“Colby is a tough guy. He has a lot of experience and despite the cut, he was taking the blows well. For me, the fight should have continued,” said White.
