UFC president Dana White by winning on his return to the octagon during UFC Vegas 54: Blachowicz vs. Rakic on Saturday evening (April 14).The 25-year-old undefeated flyweight is making his full debut in the premier MMA promotion following a rear naked choke contender series victory over Mitch Rasposo back in October.Despite his fine performance ending in a comprehensive second-round victory, UFC chiefs didn't want Hadley to be handed the golden contract after he missed weight for the make or break bout - something that he insists will not happen again.However, White went with his gut in handing the "special" youngster a chance to impress on the biggest stage admitting that he broke "all his own rules" in the process.He said at the time: "When I left the back room, my instructions were to not sign this guy.""According to Hunter [Campbell], Sean (Shelby) and Mick (Maynard) stormed out of the room when I did and took off tonight so they’re not happy about it. HAVE YOUR SAY!
