UFC CEO Dana White was asked about giving Myktybek Orolbai a bonus after his win at UFC Baku in the post fight press conference. During the UFC Baku event, rising fighter Orolbai found himself in the spotlight — but not for the right reasons.
Despite winning his fight, the attention quickly turned to the fact that he missed weight by a shocking 10 pounds, which is a serious violation in professional MMA. Orolboi submitted Tofiq Musayev in the very first round.
According to White, Orolboi told him that he will be a UFC champion one day. Many fans began discussing whether Orolbai would still receive a performance bonus, but UFC President Dana White was quick to shut down any such talk. In a tweet recently shared by MMA Orbit, Dana White gave a blunt and honest response about the situation:

“The kid that missed weight by 10 pounds? He came over to me and said he’s going to be a world champion one day. I told him he better figure out his weight first.” 😳
