UFC is the best organization when it comes to putting up events in Mixed Martial Arts. Whatever the company does it’s going to get attention in social media. The company is worth so much and the number of fans around the world are crazy. At times it could be tricky to handle some situation as a UFC president and that’s what happens. The fans would want to know why did the UFC banned carrying National flags. What did Dana White have to say about it?
Dana White has been running the company since its inception. Fighters from all over the world are involved with the UFC.
Why did UFC ban National Flags?
In the post fight press conference at UFC 274 this issue was highlighted. It was left unaddressed in many people’s opinion, as Dana White had not much to say about it. The fans would have wanted to know more and know the exact reason.
Dana White was asked by a reporter on why the flag bans have been introduced in the UFC. Dana White replied, ” You guys know why, Lets not even play that f****ng game”
UFC is known to be a place where free speech is something they have always had. Dana White has always stated that they don’t tell what the fighters here what they should or should not say. This, however, could be challenged looking at some of the things in the UFC.
The fighters used to walk out with sponsors on their shorts and T-shirts, which was banned by the UFC. The Reebok deal came in and screwed the fighters, which is what all of them believe. The fighters, however, won’t land in a good spot if they voice their opinion on this.
The ban of national flag can be due to various reasons and one of them being Russia Ukraine war. Things are already heated up in the outside world, as we are among a pandemic and a war. The UFC thinks it doesn’t need any more drama.
The flag ban was done because of the many Russian fighters in the UFC, Disney definitely had to do with it https://t.co/qXxrcPgB1o

As it is always a proud moment for a fighter to have his national flag when he wins inside the octagon, some decisions are such that fighters don’t voice their opinions about. There was some resistance or mentions of this issue here and there, but not a major one.
Interesting fights coming up in the UFC:
The year 2023 so far has looked exciting for UFC fans. The year has just started as we have ended quarter one and there are many more fights to come this year. We have the return of Henry Cejudo as he faces Aljamain Sterling for the 135-pound title.
Jon Jones and Stipe Miocic are in talks to get the fight done for the heavyweight championship of the world. Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler are the coaches on TUF season 31. The fans are waiting for the season to air, as the back and forth between the coaches is something that would be interesting to watch.
What are your thoughts on this?
