RE: UFC 308 takeaways. Mostly it was meh, but 2 fights were epic

I saw the highlights with the knock out and it was a solid connection. Is Dana White the one who selects who fights who or can fighters negotiate who they fight? We have seen boxers dodging certain fights and it is more about their managers protecting their fighters.

I believe he has some sort of influence over who fights whom but they do not disclose this information. He does control everyone's contracts and has the ability to strip them of the title if they do not agree to certain fights. Many fighters might dodge other fighters endlessly, which seems counter to being the "best in the world" when they refuse to fight people with certain styles. Often there will be several champions in the same division because one breaks the "rules" of Dana White and I would imagine that they and their managers eventually will do what he wants to some degree, since he controls their fate as well as their payouts.
Yes he seems to be the one with the final say of who will fight who.
