Dana White Cancels Trip To Watch Fighter From UFC 308 Presser After Martial Law Declared In South Korea

At the UFC 308 press conference in October, undefeated fighter Dorobshokh Nabotov stole headlines when he made the most of his time on the mic. Speaking directly to UFC President Dana White, he called for an opportunity to prove himself inside the Octagon and after listing his accomplishments, he was called down from the crowd and onto the stage where he shook hands with the boss.

White said that they would be attending the card in order to record a new episode of "Looking For A Fight", a UFC series where White often travels alongside Matt Serra and Din Thomas to visit some tourist attractions, dine on some local delicacies and most importantly, head to a fight card that features a few interesting fighters. If Nabotov had looked impressive in his fight against Brazil's Matheus Camilo, it's likely that he would have been offered another big opportunity right there on the night.

However, travel plans have been changed as a result of what is happening in South Korea right now. On Tuesday, South Korea's President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law, sending heavily armed forces into the streets which has led to significant protesting and unrest. Though opposing parties were able to cancel Yoon's declaration just six hours after it began by voting against it, this difficult situation is still far from over.

In a post put up on the promotion's Instagram, Z-Fight Night announced that White will no longer be attending their event as a result.

It appears that the event will be streamed live on UFC Fight Pass so Nabotov will still have a big opportunity to impress people from the UFC that will be tuning in to see how he performs.
