Pennington has been straight forward about wanting to face former bantamweight champion Julianna Peña in her next fight. White told the media that a fight between the two is possible and they’ll eventually fight.
White spoke on some other fights form the card, including the wild finish to the Neil Magny and Mike Malott fight. The UFC boss said that the fight reminded people how good Magny is, and that despite being in the UFC for so long, he still has a ton of heart and isn’t going to be a walk in the park for anyone.
He also believes that Malott is very young in his career and still has the potential to be a welterweight contender in the future.
“Tonight was a big test for him, and I knew that coming in,” White said of Malott. “He looked incredible until the last minute of the fight and unfortunately that’s how it turned out for him. But he’ll learn from this, he’ll grow from this, and we’ll see where he goes. But this doesn’t mean he can’t be a star in Canada.”
