Exciting Weekend for UFC and Dana White with Launch of New Streaming Deal
UFC CEO Dana White had a great weekend with the launch of the organization’s new streaming service Paramount+. The main event at UFC 324 with Justin Gaethje and Paddy Pimblett was a real slugfest, with Gaethje ultimately winning the interim lightweight title. White was impressed by both fighters, especially Pimblett’s resilience despite taking a lot of heavy hits.
The event was a hit with fans and White’s partners at CBS, who were thrilled with the kickoff of their $7.7 billion deal. Even though there were some hiccups with production and a few controversies, the weekend was overall successful. White is already looking ahead to the future and planning a big event on the White House lawn in June.
Gaethje’s win could earn him a spot on that historic card, possibly facing lightweight champ Ilia Topuria. Despite his loss, Pimblett’s toughness and charisma will likely open up new opportunities for him as well. The UFC is entering a new era of streaming, and White is excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.
