Dana White has continued his boxing revolution by targeting the load classes.
The UFC CEO’s Zuffa Boxing upstart made its official launch in January following his promise to enhance the game.
Since then, Dana White has created a Zuffa Boxing belt that’ll be on the road when Jai Opetaia faces Brandon Glanton on March 8.
Now, the MMA mogul has announced that his boxing promotion only recognizes 8 weight classes.
