After being broadcast on ESPN, UFC fights could land on another channel. Indeed, it could be that Netflix will be the next to take charge of live events as the journalist indicated Damon
Martin. Gentsu tells you more.
Since France authorized MMA fights, the discipline has become largely democratized. It must be said that there were fights which created a lot of noise, such as the clash between
Cédric Doumbé et Mouth.
Last September, UFC Paris 3 once again brought together many people. At the beginning of December,
Ciryl Gane made his comeback against Alexander Volkov. A highly anticipated comeback after more than a year of absence in the cage. However,
Bon Gamin's victory was not unanimous, particularly with Dana White who destroyed the tricolor by saying:
So here's what happened after that fight, you heard the boos, I went to Volkov. I apologized to him, I thought he had won the fight. And then the head of the commission came and said, “Look, we feel like this second round was really close and could have gone either way, both guys were shaken up.” I don't remember which fighter they think had the most trouble in the second round but, you know. They argued to me that the fight had been judged that way. I also had a problem with the Bryan Battle fight. It doesn't matter what I think, because in the end, they decide who wins and who loses, not us.
