UFC President Dana Bai explained why Nagano had not been awarded a gold belt

At the just-concluded UFC 270 tournament, Francis Ngannou successfully defended the UFC heavyweight championship gold belt in a point victory over Ciryl Gane, and in the link of awarding the gold belt after the game, the very rare UFC president Dana White left the scene, but UFC media official Mick Maynard put a gold belt on Nagano. And at the post-match press conference, Bai Dana did not attend.

In a recent interview, Bai Dana gave an explanation of this, and Bai Dana said: "The reason why I did not participate in the final event was because there were important things to deal with in the background. If anyone thinks I have any form of disrespect for Nagano, it's absolutely idiotic. I met Nagano all week, I shook hands with him, I said hello, I was there watching him, all of that. If anyone thought I had some kind of disrespect for Francis Nagano, I didn't play after the Michael Bisping and Luke Rockhold matches because I had to deal with something at the time. I rushed out from the backstage, I went out wearing only a shirt, I put a gold belt on Bispin, but this time I couldn't put a gold belt on Nagano.

I've only left once in a race and made that very clear, and that was the press conference of the previous match in Abu Dhabi, the match between Anderson Silva and Demian Maia. ”

In addition, for Nagano's performance, Bai Dana also expressed his appreciation, he said: "I think this heavyweight competition is shocking, I think no one would have thought that Nagaano would practice wrestling, in the game, I was very surprised by Nagano's performance, it is really a genius." He's really talented to go wrestling and I promise you, I really didn't know that would be the case, and Cyril Gaine barely did any wrestling preparation for this match, so his game plan is really fantastic. ”

Regarding the next nagano arrangement, Bai Dana said: "I think if it is possible, another big battle will be Jon Jones against Francis Nagano. ”
