Dana White said Matt Hughes vs Frank Trigg 2 is his favorite UFC fight
After he had lost Matt Hughes in their first game, Frank Trigg came all the weapons from an epic rematch on UFC 52.
The couple produced one of the biggest fights that the world has ever seen, with Dana White who really likes to remember about the fight.
He said to the UFC: “If I ever say my favorite fight, I mean MMA, boxing – it's my favorite fight.
“The background story behind it is that I call Hughes, and he hates this guy. I said,” You have to fight trigg again “.
“He says,” I hate him, I have already beaten him and I will never defeat him more impressive than the first time I did. I am not saying that I am not going to fight him, I just say it is crazy. “
“Numerous waste talk and back and forth between these two to the point where Trigg runs in the face-off and Matt's face literally touches his face. And Hughes pushes him backwards.
“Trigg actually kicks Matt in the notes, and the referee doesn't see it. Then Trigg gets a second -noded choke, and Matt had said some things, such as:” Who is navigating in a fight? You have to be like a white belt to choke on the back 'and now Matt will be behind the rear nude and it is that the fight is over.
“I don't know how he did it; by lying on the floor, he picks Trigg over his head, on his shoulder, and literally runs the whole distance from the octagon. 17,000 people jumped out of their seats at the same time and the roof almost came from that building.
“The biggest fight I've ever seen, ever. It was my favorite fight ever.”
