Dana White wants three fighters from UFC 310 card to never fight again
At the UFC 310 post-fight press conference, CEO Dana White talked about the future of three veterans. The combatants mentioned were Chris Weidman, Clay Guida, and Anthony Smith.
A reporter asked White about the future of the aforementioned UFC athletes who lost their fights, to which he replied and stated:
"They all retire tonight. They should all retire tonight."
Check out Dana White's comments below:
Smith lost to Dominick Reyes in the second round via knockout. Weidman also succumbed to a TKO loss against Eryk Anders. Meanwhile, Chase Hooper submitted Guida in the first round.
White did not seem charmed by the charisma of these UFC veterans, and he would not compel them to retire; instead, he would prefer it if they announced their own.
Although the other two UFC veterans did not comment despite their disappointing defeats, 'Lionheart' suggested that this could be his last fight. When Joe Rogan asked him if this was his last dance in the octagon interview, he said:
"Man, I don’t know. Probably. It’s been a long road I want to think on it, but probably."
Dana White addressed Ciryl Gane’s controversial victory at UFC 310
Ciryl Gane defeated Alexander Volkov at UFC 310. After three rounds, Gane won the fight by split decision, shocking the fans, UFC commentators, and everyone in the arena.

Here's what Dana White said at the post-fight press conference about the matter:
"Here’s what happened after that fight. You heard the boos, I went over to Volkov, I apologized to him, I thought he won the fight. And the head of the commission came over and said, ‘Listen, we think that second round was really close and could have gone either ways. Both guys got rocked. They were making the argument on why the fight was judged the way it was.”
