Dana White unsurprised by Ian Machado Garry vs. Michael Page lacking action, scored UFC 303 fight a draw

LAS VEGAS – UFC CEO Dana White didn’t think Ian Machado Garry vs. Michael Page was worthy of a winner.

Garry (15-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) defeated Page (22-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) by unanimous decision in Saturday’s UFC 303 main card opener at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It wasn’t the strikers’ delight that fans anticipated, with a large portion of the fight taking place on the ground. White thinks the fight should have been ruled a draw.

“Sean (Shelby) and Mick (Maynard) felt that that fight would play out exactly the way it did,” White told reporters at the UFC 303 post-fight press conference. “We talked about it leading up to this fight. I had that fight a draw. If they came out and said that fight was a draw, that was exactly what I thought that fight was, too.”
