It didn’t take White long to make his decisions for Week 1 and much like on Season 6, the UFC President came out hot, calling it a weird night before offering his assessments of Tuesday’s victors. After passing on both Yuri Panferov and Radley Da Silva, White welcomed Ty Miller to the UFC roster, suggesting he make a trip to the UFC PI, before stating that he had the fight between Ilian Bouafia and Neemias Santana a draw, declining to offer Bouafia a contract.
He then circled back to Baisangur Suserkaev, singing the unbeaten Chechen middleweight prospect’s praises, saying that he saved the first episode of Season 9 while promising to get him booked quickly.
It was a strange night to kick things off, and we’ve got the details on how things played out collected for you below.
