White was also asked about a potential return to Philly, with Saturday night’s show only the fourth time the UFC has hosted a show in the city, and the first time they’ve been back since 2019.

“I love Philly. I love this city. I always have fun here, at other sporting events too, not just ours,” he said.

“So yes, we will be back sooner than this run that we were on here. But you know, COVID’s a big part of that too. So it’s not just because we didn’t want to come back to Philly or something. COVID was a huge part of that.

“And to come in here again, sell out… And think about this. Now, everybody’s spoiled with UFC because we sell out every f****** show, and it’s blah blah blah. We’re in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a Russian Muslim and an Irish kid, and we do a $7 million gate, and we shatter the f****** record here. The biggest event that’s ever been held here, we beat it by $2 million. It’s crazy, unheard of before.

“If you fought in Philly [before], you’d have to have a guy from Philly in the main event. You know, it’s pretty impressive.”
