UFC President Dana White made it very clear that the UFC 287 press conference was going to go on his terms, no matter what interesting storylines had been created throughout the build to Saturday’s event in Miami.

Dear Israel Adesanya,

I am writing from Lagos Nigeria. After watching Usman get robbed in London (and yes that was a robbery) I have one small but mighty request.

Just one.

No matter what happens, no matter what he does, even if the skies fall… Please win Izzy. Please win.

Yours truly

A Big Fan.
