Dana White overruled the commission to award fastest UFC knockout record after timekeeping error

The official finish time was 11 seconds, even though Yamasaki intervened at the six-second mark.

Furious fans campaigned to overturn the timekeeping error before Dana White intervened.

The UFC boss told Ludwig that he was being given the official fastest knockout time.

Two days later, the Nevada State Athletic Commission insisted Ludwig’s KO time would not be revised.

“There’s no legal avenue to overturn it,” Keith Kizer said.

“I timed it myself with a stopwatch. It was eight seconds.

“Officially, it’s got to stay at 11 seconds, but unofficially, it could be at eight.” 

Despite Kizer’s verdict, the UFC promoted Ludwig’s KO as the fastest of all time for the next 13 years.

Dana White rules out White House fight

The UFC will host a once-in-a-lifetime show at the White House in Washington on June 14.

Jon Jones has literally been begging Dana White to allow him to compete on the card.

Conor McGregor has also been calling to fight at the UFC White House event this summer.

The MMA mogul is open to that idea, but insists Michael Chandler won’t be McGregor’s comeback opponent.

“That was a couple of years ago. No,” White said when asked about potentially booking McGregor vs Chandler.
