UFC lifts flag ban for Russian fighters, allowing them to compete under their national symbol

Russian UFC fighters can now compete under the flag of their country. UFC CEO Dana White said this.

“Russian fighters will be able to enter the octagon with their own flags. <…> If any flags hurt your feelings, that’s too damn bad,” Dana White said, as quoted by MMA Junkie. White also said that he doesn’t care about world events. According to him, those who pay attention to them are “too soft and sensitive.”

Russians were banned from entering the octagon with their flags in 2022. This was connected with a Russian special operation.
