Jon Anik, a well-known UFC commentator, recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming UFC event at the White House. He's really excited about it, but not just because it's happening at the White House. He thinks it's a great chance for the UFC to put on some epic fights. Anik believes the UFC should focus on fights that have some unfinished business. For example, he mentioned a rematch between Tom Aspinall and Ciryl Gane for the Heavyweight Championship. He also thinks a fight between Jon Jones and Alex Pereira would be huge, but that's a tough one to make happen.
Another fight Anik wants to see is between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili for the Bantamweight Championship. They've already fought twice, and it's been a close series. Anik hopes the UFC will be ambitious and have four or five title fights at the White House event. But there's a catch. Ilia Topuria, the current Lightweight Champion, has been quiet about his return. If he fights the winner of the Gaethje vs. Pimblett fight, that could make three title fights. But will it happen? Only time will tell. One thing's for sure, though. The White House backdrop and Trump's presence will make this event a must-watch. And the best part? You won't need to pay for a PPV in the U. S. , Latin America, or Brazil. So, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!
