On how they attract fighters to Zuffa with demos
“I won’t say [our cards] Is it a display cabinet or a Flex. We’re putting on a show…tonight you saw two young, talented guys, undefeated, 14-0, 11-0, and you’re going to see a lot of that this year. So by the end of 2026, if you’re still undefeated, that actually means something, you fought some real guys and you got through the year.
“We’ve got some pretty crazy announcements coming up in the next few weeks, so I’m a lot further along on this than I expected with only two shows.”
