“Flags are being brought back. I was on vacation for Mexican Independence Day and the lack of flags made me crazy. Therefore, I thought and decided to cancel the previous decision. We are bringing back the flags."
Idman.biz informs that UFC President Dana White reported this at the press conference after "UFC Fight Night 229".
He said that fighters can once again fight with the flag of the country they represent. According to White, there's a lot going on in the UFC, and it's not easy to manage everything: “Sometimes decisions are made with good intentions. Everyone knows that I react immediately to most events in the world. This is the answer to a lot of questions. Everyone has been extremely soft and sensitive lately. Flags are being brought back. If some flags hurt your feelings, that's too bad."
This means that Rafael Fiziyev and Nazim Sadigov, who perform in the UFC under the flag of Azerbaijan, will be able to compete with our 3-color flag.
It should be noted that the ban on the display of national flags by fighters came into force in the spring of 2022.
