UFC boss Dana White did not understand the judges' decision to give victory to Ciryl Gane against Alexander Volkov on Saturday at UFC 310. After the whistles from the Las Vegas public, the boss of the organization went to apologize to the Russian fighter and indicated that he deserved to win.
Alexander Volkov raised his arms to the sky. Convinced of having beaten Ciryl Gane after seeming to dominate the 2nd and 3rd rounds of his fight against the Frenchman, on the night of Saturday to Sunday at UFC 310, the Russian fighter quickly became disillusioned. By two judges to one, “Bon Gamin” was declared the winner by split decision. Incomprehensible for Volkov who did not hide his frustration when the result was announced. Incomprehensible also for the audience at the T-Mobile Arena who whistled loudly at this decision. Finally, incomprehensible for Dana White. Just after the end of the fight, the UFC boss appeared in discussion with Volkov and his staff next to the cage.

“What I think doesn’t matter.”
At a press conference, White went into more detail about a controversial decision that he clearly doesn't understand: “I think Volkov won. This is what happened at the end, he heard the boos, I'm went to apologize to him, I thought he was going to win the fight. The head of the commission came to see me and told me that the 2nd round was very close according to them. tried to explain to me why the fight was judged that way. What I think doesn't matter in the end, it's the judges who decide who wins and who loses.”
For his part, Ciryl Gane, not at all satisfied with his performance despite the victory, tried to analyze his fight: “It was close, he did a good job. I put him in danger in several situations , perhaps that’s why the judges chose me,” said the Frenchman, looking defeated.
