UFC President Dana White will apparently be working with Mark Zuckerberg on AI to overhaul the UFC rankings. Ahead of this weekend’s UFC 308, hosted in Abu Dhabi, the UFC leader explained his vision.
Dana White, long-time UFC president, has taken aim at the UFC rankings system claiming it is inaccurate and he is not happy with it. Mainly, he has been vocal about how low Jon ‘Bones’ Jones has been ranked on the pound-for-pound system. Fighters and media have agreed that rankings could use a rework, but are uncertain about White’s solution: using AI.
Mark Zuckerberg has developed a notable interest in MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He has been vocal about his passion for these sports, actively training and competing in tournaments. Additionally, he made headlines by appearing in the corner of UFC fighter Alexander Volkanovski during UFC 298.
In an interview with TNT Sports, Dana White explained:
“We literally had meetings this week to work on it, and I talked to Mark Zuckerberg about AI. That’s how high-level we’re talking tech. I’m totally going to fix the rankings, and we’re going to make a lot of strong moves coming into 2025.”
Mark Zuckerberg is best known as the co-founder and CEO of Facebook. After dropping out of Harvard during his sophomore year to focus on Facebook, Zuckerberg led the platform’s rapid expansion, transforming it into one of the largest social networks globally, with over two billion users. He remains a prominent figure in technology and philanthropy, notably through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, which he founded with his wife, Priscilla Chan, to address social issues like education and health.

During Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje, ‘Blessed’ earned one of the greatest moments in the history of the UFC. After five rounds of war, he pointed to the center of the octagon and both men began trading flurries of punches. Holloway landed a knockout blow in the closing seconds of the fight earning him the BMF title.
Blessed’ Max Holloway earned the featherweight crown with a series of wins against MMA legend Jose Aldo. He has also jumped up to lightweight for bouts against Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje, both of which earned Fight of the Year accolades.
Now, this weekend at UFC 308, Holloway will look to reclaim his featherweight thrones against the unbeaten world champion Ilia Topuria. The Spanish-Georgian is just coming off a knockout win against the top-ranked pound-for-pound athlete Alexander Volkanovski.
Reflecting on the legendary bout Max Holloway vs. Justin Gaethje, speaking in an interview with TNT Sports, ‘Blessed’ commented on his most recent win. He said:
“Crazy, man. Crazy. Shot the gate, she gave me a shot, you know. I’m a 45er. He was supposed to fight for the title next. I just shot my shot. When I saw that, he didn’t get it. They asked him, he agreed, he put his BMF title on the line, and I felt like I just couldn’t do wrong in that fight, man. I felt on.
“I felt great for every single round. Everything just felt right. I loved it. It was ten seconds, like I said. Ten seconds—we point down, I land my punch before he lands his, and the rest is history, you know? To do this on the biggest stage, the biggest card, UFC 300, it was insane, man. Crazy. Dana said it best: he sells the “What the F” moments. I’m glad I was able to deliver the most iconic one of all time, which leads us nicely to this weekend.“

Borz’ Khamzat Chimaev changed up his usual training routine in preparation for his middleweight bout against Robert Whittaker this weekend at UFC 308. The match is set to go down live from Abu Dhabi and could very well have title implications on the line.
The Reaper’ Robert Whittaker is a former division champion who is known for his multiple wars against Yoel Romero, and Israel Adesanya, among others. With an impressive win, Khamzat Chimaev or Whittaker could align themselves for being next in line for a shot at the middleweight throne.
Knowing how big the stakes are, ‘Borz‘ upended his whole life after a series of illnesses and moved to the mountains for this training camp. Speaking in an interview with TNT Sports, ‘Borz’ explained:
“I’ve been in the mountains. I’ve never trained in the mountains before; I heard many people talk about it, so this was my first experience. It was good, and for the upcoming fights, I will do the same thing. Now, I’m in good shape, good health, and I have good energy as well.
“we’ve been on one of the highest mountains in Europe, training up there, and then we come down slowly—one mountain up there, one mountain in the middle. Then we come back here for three or four weeks.”
“In the beginning, it was very tough. It’s hard training in the mountains, you know? But it’s good for conditioning.“

On fighting in Abu Dhabi, he added:
“We’ve been here a long time. In the summer, it’s very hot here. I was sick three times in the last three weeks and ended up in the hospital. It was a bad time, but we’re back. Health is good. I’m prepared for a fight, usually as I do, so I’m ready.”
Reflecting on his multiple sicknesses, Khamzat Chimaev explained:
“A lot of things happened after that. After COVID, I had surgeries and many things, but I’ve had eight broken bones and six surgeries in my life. I’m still here, still fighting. Whatever hard things happen to you makes you stronger.”

Coming into UFC 308, Khamzat Chimaev revealed contemporary training with a renowned coach Salim Noutsalkhanov who coached wrestlers at the Olympics and national level. It was in preparation for his middleweight matchup against Robert Whittaker taking place in Abu Dhabi.
Salim Noutsalkhanov is a highly respected wrestling coach with a track record of developing champions. Notably, he worked with three-time Olympic gold medalist Buvaisar Saitiev for the Beijing Olympics, in addition to national champions.
‘Borz’ credits Noutsalkhanov with implementing a “better approach” to training that allows for adequate recovery time. The change aims to prevent the health issues and hospitalizations Khamzat Chimaev has experienced in the past due to overtraining. It also connects to him the grassroots of how he started given that Noutsalkhanov was his very first wrestling coach.
Speaking in an interview with TNT Sports, Khamzat Chimaev explained:
“Yeah, with my old coach. I trained with him when I was young; he was a coach for the national team in Chechnya. He focused on older guys who were competing for senior levels. Now, we’re starting again … There’s nobody here; it’s a closed space for Olympic wrestlers. They gave me the gym, food, and everything. It’s just my team and me—a perfect place to focus on training and recovery.”
For this training camp, ‘Borz’ Khamzat Chimaev committed himself to training for UFC 308 by traveling to the mountains. He said:
“It’s different from the camps in the city. Traveling back and forth, friends and all these distractions can ruin your training. In Stockholm, everyone knows me, and if someone is sick, they come to me, shake my hand, hug me, and I catch whatever they have.”
‘Borz’ will look to potentially set himself up for a middleweight title shot with a win against the former champion Robert Whittaker this weekend.
