Dana joins the Nobel Prize, Sir Konstantin Novoselov, in the Vechain Advisory Council to create a team focused on conducting blockchain adoption in the real world through complementary knowledge in the field of mass marketing and scientific innovation.
Dana White, a visionary of the UFC meteoric growth into the global sporting power reaching over 950 million households, introduces unparalleled specialist knowledge in the field of brand expansion, fans’ involvement and disturbing Wechin innovation. Known for his relentless drive and senseless approach, White will play a key role in strengthening the flagship initiative of Vechain sustainable development, Vebetterda-Zdecentralized Modern Generation platform, which encourages real balanced actions through B3Tr tokens.
White’s meeting signals a transformation change in blockchain. Using its impact on UFC, Power Slap and Global Sports Communities, he will introduce Vechain technologies to the extensive and engaged audience, filling the gap between the utility of blockchain and the mainstream of consciousness.
“Vechain is an amazing partner for UFC and Power Slap and I have the honor to join their advisory council,” said Dana White, president and general director of the UFC. “I am passionate about technology, and their products and innovations I can’t wait to assist raise their brand to a higher level.”
Sir Konstantin Novoselov, whose breakthrough work on graphene brought him a Nobel Prize in physics, still directs Vechain’s scientific and technical progress. Pioneer from 2D materials, graphene research and capture of carbon, Novoselov played a key role in ensuring that the initiatives of sustainable development of Vechain are supported by strict scientific principles.
Thanks to the scientific splendor of Novoselov leading the development of Vechainthor and the ability to White to support mass adoption, Vechain gathered an advisory team that is extremely set to solve the most essential challenges of blockchain: technical sophistication and availability of the mainstream.
White’s arrival coincides with the implementation of two breakthrough initiatives: Vechain:
- Vebetterda-Currently on Mainnet, with over 200 user-oriented DAPPs, this decentralized platform transforms sustainable activities into quantified value through B3TR tokens, thus creating the first scalable, tokenized sustainable development ecosystem.
- Vechain Renaissance – renovation of the 2025 protocol designed to raise network security, decentralization and EVM compatibility, Vechain positioning for a wider enterprise and ecosystem growth.
Sunlit Lu, CEO and co-founder of Vechain, emphasized the importance of this advisory team: “Dana popularized combat sports, focusing on what the fans really want-understand that Vebetterdao is not about theories, it’s about winning through real activities. With the scientific genius of Konstantin and given, we gathered a band, we have gathered a band: Technologically a great measure.
The influence of White goes beyond advisory support through strategic activation – from the UFC’s involvement prizes to UFC events to challenges related to the impact powered by B3TR and veterinarian tokens. These real implementation will show the usefulness of blockchain to millions of consumers who could never have interacted with digital assets before.
Thanks to the nonsense, White and Novoselov Ragor Vechain maintains his position as a leading balanced corporate class blockchain, which revolutionizes adoption through various niches and channels.

Colby Covington drags Daniel Cormier into ugly Jon Jones feud

Covington has brought Daniel
Cormier into his latest feud with Jon Jones.
Jones' protégé, Gable
Steveson, was knocked out by Sean Sharaf
in a major upset at UFC
331 in September in Los Angeles. Covington subsequently blamed
Jones' “bad energy†for Steveson's loss. Jones responded by saying
that Covington, his former college roommate, hasn't achieved even a
fraction of what he has in the
Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Colby Covington tells Gable Steveson to leave Jon Jones for
Daniel Cormier
Covington responded by citing domestic abuse allegations against
Jones. “Chaos†said Jones' professional achievements don't excuse
his alleged conduct outside the cage. The former interim
welterweight champion then suggested that Steveson train with
Daniel
Cormier, Jones' longtime rival.
“The things I say only bother you because they're true,†Covington
wrote on X. “You're a narcissistic abusive sociopath. Your
achievements inside the Octagon don't make you a better person
outside of it. Those same achievements definitely don’t give you
the right to abuse women either, Jon. At the end of the day, I feel
for Gable being in this situation… It's too bad he can't take
punches from heavyweights as well as your wife does. If Gable
really cares about advancing in his career, he should leave you and
go train with a real man like Daniel Cormier.â€
Jones and Cormier's heated rivalry has continued since their
fighting careers ended. Jones defeated Cormier in their first UFC
bout, but his knockout victory in their rematch was overturned to a
no contest after “Bones†failed a drug test. Years after retiring,
“DC†has said he has no interest in reconciling with Jones.
The things I say only bother you because
they're true @jonnybones . You're a narcissistic abusive sociopath.
Your achievements inside the octagon don't make you a better person
outside of it. Those same achievements definitely dont give you the
right to abuse women either Jon. At the end of the day I feel for
Gable being in this situation… it's too bad he can't take punches
from heavyweights as well as your wife does. If Gable really cares

Mikey Musumeci vacates UFC BJJ title to ‘prioritize my training for MMA’

October 9, 2026
Mikey Musumeci is no longer the UFC BJJ bantamweight champion, and he vacates the belt to focus on a potential transition to mixed martial arts in the future.
A former grappling champion in ONE Championship and four-time IBJJF world champion as a black belt, Musumeci was victorious in four title matches in UFC BJJ — all by submission — before entering the bowl this past September to win a decision over UFC bantamweight Bryce Mitchell.
“I am 30 years old and have been obsessed with training MMA and want to prioritize my training for MMA,†Musumeci wrote on a statement. “I train jiu-jitsu everyday still and can come back anytime.â€
That doesn't mean Musumeci will no longer compete in grappling and in UFC BJJ. He plans on continuing to do so, but without having to defend a title and possibly stalling the weight class as he pursues a new goal in MMA.
“I will continue to do more grappling super fights with UFC BJJ, just a different style of jiu-jitsu more to get people out of our sport to watch,†Musumeci wrote. “That means more to me at the point I am in my career. I want to thank everyone that has supported me and Claudia Gadelha and Hunter for how kind they have been with me and continue to be. Excited about my next chapter. SO MANY CRAZY THINGS AHEAD.â€
The now vacant UFC BJJ bantamweight title will be up for grabs in the main event of UFC BJJ 13 on Oct. 29, when Jalen Fonacier battles Kleber Barboza.
Check Musumeci's full statement below.

Brendan Allen accuses Dricus du Plessis of taking ‘easier’ Kamaru Usman fight

Allen has criticized Dricus Du
Plessis for allegedly avoiding a fight with him.
A matchup between Allen and du Plessis was reportedly in the works
in January. According to Allen, the bout fell through after he was
told du Plessis was injured. Du Plessis went on to face former
Ultimate Fighting Championship titleholder Kamaru
Usman in July, winning by unanimous decision.
Brendan Allen explains why he believes he was a tougher
opponent than Kamaru Usman
Allen has accused du Plessis of avoiding him in favor of an easier
fight against Usman. “All In†acknowledges that the 39-year-old
former welterweight champion remains a bigger draw. However, Allen
believes he presents a tougher matchup, prompting du Plessis to
take the “easier fight.â€
“I know he's had the opportunity to fight me and he took the easier
route,†Allen told UFC on Paramount+. “He can say whatever he
wants; it's a fact. We were supposed to fight. And somehow it got
worked that Kamaru's name got thrown in there. And obviously Kamaru
is a bigger draw even though he's older, up a weight class. He took
the easier fight, plain and simple. Everyone knows it was the
easier fight. I'm bigger, I'm stronger, I'm faster. I think I'm
more talented, but people are gonna play off of Kamaru's resume.
OK, play off his resume, but I don't think that Kamaru can make it
five rounds with me.â€
Allen (27-7) enters his
UFC Vegas 122 main event against Christian
Leroy Duncan (15-2) on Saturday in Las Vegas with three
consecutive victories. Duncan has won five straight fights.
Brendan
Allen says DDP took the “easier fight” against Kamaru
Usman instead of fighting him 👀 “He took the easier route. He
can say whatever he wants; it’s a fact. We were supposed to
fight… Obviously Kamaru is a bigger draw even though he’s older,
up a weight class. Everyone knows it was the easier fight.” [
