At a UFC 308 press conference in Abu Dhabi, Dana White was approached by Dorobshokh Nabotov, an undefeated fighter from Tajikistan, who asked for a chance to fight in the UFC. Nabotov, boasting a 9-0 record, directly appealed to White during the Q&A session, compelling the UFC President to invite him on stage and subsequently discuss his future with UFC officials. White mentioned that Nabotov will fight on a card for ZFN, a promotion in South Korea, where White will be present filming his YouTube show. This bold move by Nabotov, who has no manager and is relatively unknown in the MMA circles, could potentially lead to a UFC contract if he performs well. The incident has sparked significant interest and support from fans, highlighting the daring approach as a unique way to advance a fighting career. It remains to be seen whether Nabotov can succeed at the UFC level, but his story already marks an extraordinary path in the sport.
