Dana White is blatantly confronted by her own boyfriend about the UFC rankings controversy during AI conversations

If there was ever a 10-7 round in the UFC, it must have looked just like the one between Renato Moicano and Benoit Saint-Denis in the main event of UFC Paris. Without wasting any time, Moicano struck down the Frenchman. The second round was entirely on his feet, which only exacerbated the multiple cuts Saint Denis had suffered early in the fight.

Before the third round, referee Mark Goddard invited the doctor at the foot of the octagon to check Saint Denis' cuts, which resulted in the fight ending by TKO. But despite that dominant performance, Moicano didn't move an inch when the rankings were uploaded on Tuesday. To the surprise of many, the ranking remained the same for Saint-Denis. This led many to denounce the UFC's ranking system. And another name that just joined the critics' list was Dana White's boyfriend Kevin Iole.

In a recent video uploaded by the journalist, fans can witness Iole and Dana White talking about the big spectacle that is UFC Paris. But with fame came criticism. When Iole White confronted the UFC's new rankings. Bluntly as always, he said: “I don't agree with this based on what happened in the fight.” He then compares the UFC rankings to the ranking system in other sports, such as American football.

However, White was really defensive about his promotion and placement. So much so that he began to rant about Iole's comparison. He said: “What do you think about Max Holloway being number 10 in the lightweight division while Justin Gaethje is number three? This isn't college football, where every year a team with different players is completely different. Max Holloway is one of the greatest fighters in the history of the damn sport. College football shouldn’t even be mentioned when talking about the sport.”

Moicano, 11th in the rankings, scored four straight wins and improved his record to 7-2 since his debut in the division in 2020. Saint-Denis suffers a second straight loss and remains under the UFC spotlight with a record of 5-3. “BSD” had just been knocked out by Dustin Poirier in two rounds. It's no surprise that fans started using the UFC's ranking system. But now Dana White has revealed that he has a new solution to the problem. So what is it? Well, it is nothing but the use of AI.

UFC CEO claims AI will fix the system

After the rankings were announced, Moicano certainly wasn't happy with it. In fact, he even took to social media to share his stats with fans and reveal why he deserved to move up. In his opinion, he should have been in the top 6 with the way he built his six-fight winning streak. And now it seems like even Dana White agrees.

The UFC CEO decided to respect the lightweight's comment. He announced that he would introduce measures to improve the ranking system. In the aforementioned interview, While revealed that he actually agrees with Moicano's criticism and would use AI to fix the problem. He said: “So the rankings are definitely a problem, Moicano. I agree with you 100%, but don’t worry my friend, the AI ​​will be here soon and this will all be fixed.” He even described the currently anonymous group of journalists as “bums” and as having insufficient knowledge of the sport to produce an accurate ranking. But what do you think? Will AI be able to fix the problem? Let us know in the comments.
