Dana White came for UFC 332's ‘so-called experts’ — but they weren't exactly wrong
White took aim at UFC 332's critics after a record-setting night in Salt Lake City. But a fun night of fights doesn't mean the skeptics got it wrong.
Dana White criticized the "so-called experts" for their negative opinions on UFC 332, stating that there were only a handful of truly bad cards in the sport's history. The event saw several exciting performances, with four out of eleven fighters securing first-round victories. Payton Talbott and Ateba Gautier delivered knockouts in their respective bouts, while Roberto Soldic and Damian Pinas also made an impact.
Although some fighters needed longer to secure their wins, such as Gautier against Khaos, they still performed impressively. Dana White highlighted that the card's success was evident in the knockout rate, which stood out compared to other events. He emphasized that the UFC is the best in the business and that not every card will resonate with everyone.
Despite the critiques, UFC 332 delivered in terms of entertainment, with a number of memorable moments. The standout performances included Payton Talbott's victory over Deiveson Figueiredo and the main card's focus on rookies, which generated buzz and excitement for the future.
