Undefeated fighter who impressed Dana White at a press conference competes for a UFC contract on ‘Lookin’ For a Fight’

During the press conference for UFC 308, a member of the audience finally stole the show after he used the microphone at his moment.

Dorobshokh Nabotov went to the stage and instead of asking one of the hunters on stage last October, he called on Dana White to give him a chance.

After declaring his age and undefeated record, White said he would give Nabotov a chance after he was impressed by the 26-year-old.

It was later revealed that Nabotov would perform on 'Lookin' for Fight ', the UFC show where White is accompanied by Din Thomas and Matt Serra while they travel to regional shows to explore some exciting talent.

The last episode was originally planned to take place abroad, so that the UFC president could be live for the new promotion of a former hunter.

Dana White wanted to book Dorobshokh Nabotov on Z Fight Night, the new South Korean promotion that is run by former UFC hunter Chan Sung Jung, aka 'The Korean Zombie'.

Although the UFC President initially intended to attend the event in person, his travel plans were canceled due to an ongoing issue in South Korea.

Instead, White sat next to Matt Serra and Din Thomas in the early hours of the morning in Florida to see the card live with a direct feed to 'The Zombie'.

Nabotov of Tadjikistan stood opposite Matheus Camilo on Z Fight Night 2, where it was the 24-year-old Brazilian who eventually impressed his audience.

Nabotov had some success with his struggling skills, but in the end Camilo achieved a unanimous decision victory with his leg kicks particularly important.

White then offered the winner almost a shot in the UFC with his Octagon debut already confirmed before 17 May, where he goes against Gabe Green on the UFC Apex.

“Matheus, you looked incredible. You were definitely the more well -rounded hunter tonight. You started to cut that leg in the first round, damaged it and, in our opinion, checked the fight for the rest of the night.

“As young as you are 23 years old, you really made an impression on us tonight and congratulations kid, you go to the UFC.”

Dana White said during the last episode of 'Lookin' for Fight 'that everyone knows that he is not trying to sign 31-year prospects at the UFC.

You have to make a serious impression on the boss to convince him that you earn a shot at that age, but that is exactly what Joo Sang Yoo did on Z Fight Night 2.

The undefeated South Korean earned his eighth victory after stopping Masuto Kawana in just one minute and 15 seconds.

“You went there tonight, you looked impressive, you experienced him early, you quickly took it out and congratulations kid, you are in the UFC,” White told Joo Sang Yoo. “8-0, unbeaten, incredible achievements and I look forward to seeing you fighting here in the UFC Buddy.”

His UFC debut has been reported for UFC 316 where he will be confronted against Jeka Saragih, although the matchup still has to be officially made.
