Poatan explains riddle and could fight in the White House

“In Brazil, we make this stop, right? Let’s jump, run… One, two, three and that’s it! I let it go just to get excited, but we’ve already started talking about the next fight. It took a while, but it’s very close to something happening”, he said, in an interview with Valter Walker’s YouTube channel.

The explanation, however, does not exclude the possibility that he will move up a category to try to win his third UFC belt; This is something that the Brazilian himself has been saying he would like to do for over a year. This fight could even take place at the White House, as Dana himself recently confirmed the card put together.

Poatan at the White House

The chances of seeing Poatan defending the light heavyweight title or challenging the heavyweight title in June at the White House are high, as he is currently one of the names that generates the most audience and profit among the current Ultimate champions.

The only doubt is who the opponent will be; Although the champion himself has already asked to face Jon Jones, Dana White is not the biggest fan of the idea, and the former heavyweight champion’s recent statement about suffering from osteoarthritis in his hip took away even more momentum from this possibility.

The problem is that, on a card that will celebrate 250 years of United States Independence, the public expects to see North Americans fighting for the belts. But besides Jon Jones, there is no name born in the country that is interesting for Poatan at the moment.
