JUAN DIAZ JUST GAVE US ONE OF THE BEST KOs IN #DWCS<\/a> HISTORY! pic.twitter.com\/foUOwM1fEe<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 UFC (@ufc) October 15, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n White kept his reaction relatively simple when asked to comment further on the fight, in only the most White-esque way possible.<\/p>\n “Koreans have a rough time with those elbows,” White said.<\/p>\n In a general sense, though, White was pleased with the season as a whole.<\/p>\n “I f****** love this show,” White told reporters at the post-fight presser. “It’s great. These kids come in and they literally let it all hang out. It’s very rare we get a fight in here [at the APEX] where it’s like ‘eh,’ you know what I mean?”<\/p>\n As far as the show’s future is concerned, White did confirm the show would be continuing throughout the Paramount era, all but confirming newer seasons of the show would end up on Paramount Plus beginning next year.<\/p>\n White added his goal is to see the show move outside of the United States to territories such as Abu Dhabi, for example.<\/p>\n Chris Unger-Zuffa LLC<\/p>\n All in all, 46 contracts were awarded this season. The number is tied for the most ever in the show’s history, as Season 7 also saw an identical number of UFC signees. White says the number can fluctuate, but in reality, the sport’s timeline and talent pool remain the two biggest factors when predicting how a season shakes out.<\/p>\n “Obviously, the talent, the show, the sport [of MMA] evolves and gets better, but I think the mindset coming into this competition now \u2014 people understand what it’s gonna take to get signed and maybe that’s it,” White said.<\/p>\n It remains to be seen how the show evolves, but for now, the ninth season is in the books as an all-time classic.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Brazilian soccer legend asks for photo with UFC star Charles Oliveira after UFC Rio<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Ex-UFC star Dustin Poirier shares heartbreaking admission about MMA retirement<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0Merab Dvalishvili drops warning to ex-UFC flyweight champ for UFC title fight<\/a><\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0UFC Rio crowd goes wild as heavyweight fighter scores violent faceplant KO<\/a><\/p>\n Stick with\u00a0MMAKnockout<\/a>\u00a0for more FREE coverage of the UFC and MMA.<\/p>\n Follow MMAKnockout on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Twitter<\/a>, and\u00a0Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
