Dana needing a translator from English to English is hilarious 😂😂
He has poor hearing. How do you not know this?
Get an additional speaker right in front of him or a hearing aid, it's ridiculous at this point
It's not ridiculous it is what it is deal with it. Sure he can get a hearing aid but maybe he doesn't want to.
Let Dana do Dana! He is the best honestly! I'd vote for him lol
Or some hearing aids..
Respect to Khamzat for his after fight message of peace
...and yet he wants to kiiiiilllll everybody.

Just wait the West is gonna call him antisemite
“I’m in the desert”
Dana: he’s not wrong 😂😂😭
Khamzat won a lot of fans tonight with his speech. Much respect!
100%
Respect to Islam. Respect to Volk. Respect to Khamzat. Respect to Usman. Thank you for putting your ego, pride & safety on the line on 12 days notice in front of the world for our entertainment. You are all warriors and inspirational men & it was impossible for anyone’s stock to drop tonight in my eyes.
When a hero stumbles, cowards rejoice..
Volk got slept 😂 go to sleep
@@noelbgood8845 Why can't you respect both fighters
yea your a clown dude buddy came up in weight id like to see islam beat leon edwards clown @@noelbgood8845
@@noelbgood8845you sound like a goof
@@noelbgood8845 I’m an Islam fan but that doesn’t give us any reason to disrespect Volk. Volk put up a great fight the first time, and overall he is a great fighter. Show him some respect as well.
Khamzat showed us a side to him that we never knew he had. From kill everybody to peace was totally unexpected. He sounded sincere. Respect 😅
khamzat is a character, he's obviously selling a image but behind that he's a nice human being
Bro he's just saying facts they're literally killing kids. How is the world letting that happen. Crazy world.
Nah his last fight he lost a lot of fans now he trying to gain them back with emotion
@@wanderingdaze7018 Absolutely not lol, his speech was sincere.
Khamzat realize that he can't kill anything but talks and that about it... He decided to go for the peace I respect that. Very disappointing performance tho.
Las palabras de Khamzat al final, fueron emocionantes. Se merece el cinturón, Dana! Abrazo desde Argentina ❤
Khamzat gained some fans today. Hats off to all these warriors.
Respect to Khamzat. He called for peace everywhere, whatever culture or religion.
Such a new idea
Big deal, i hear that crap everyday and nothing ever changes
That’s what ISLAM teaches us ☝🏼☪️❤️
@@cooldude-rz1gi , all religions say the same about peace
@@cooldude-rz1gi You literally have a profile pic of the Joker, a hateful terrorist, Islam didn't teach you shit.
Co-Main needed to be a 5 rounder
Three rounds feel like a sparring match
Absolutely.... someone was tired🤣
Yes, I was actually surprised when it ended
Y’all so mad 🤣🤣🤣
? he's right usually these kind of fights are 5 rounders@@0rainonme0
The moment when a grappler turned into a kickboxer , beautiful . Rugby players are tough SOB's , not even a perfectly placed headkick can put them out to sleep .
When Khamzat thanked the UFC for making it possible to get food for his mom, I teared up a little.
It’s crazy that Dana needs an English translator for English questions.
He's hard of hearing and the accents throw him off sometimes.
He's getting old 😅
He has impaired hearing..
At the 5:00 mark, an American asks a question and he also can't hear it. He should wear an earpiece.
😂😂😂
Respect to Islam, That KO was INSANE, And the way he acted after knocking him out….class act
Tko
@@HB-gj7gdko dumbass it's was literally announced as a ko.
Volk should have known better he got hit with that kick in the first fight. Getting kicked while the opponent is the strongest early in a fight ~ ( duck and move away from power side) that rocked him and the blows after can’t believe he wasn’t knocked out glad they stopped it from further damage. Bomb kick then ak 47 hammer fist not fun……
Yeah, super classy to go with back of the head hammerfists to finish it off
@@ComedyByAlan you femboys are malding soooo hardd lmaooooooo
Shout out to khamzat for his after fight message...shout out to the co-main and main event fighters who all agreed to take the fights 👏
Respect to all fighters. Thanks for entertaining us.
Dana seriously needs an in ear monitor so that he hears all the questions
What?
@@grahamcurran8744it makes sense read it again lmao
@@grahamcurran8744 Underrated comment... Thank you!
Agreed it's ruining, these are start stop interviews, because he refuses to wear an ear piece. He'd rather ruin it for fans, 'wat did u say?!' Every question. Than wear an ear piece

@@kennyb8412Really? How so?
Dana needing a translator for English speakers is the funniest shit
11 days ago Volk was on holidays, got the call accepted the fight and lost 12kg in 11days and without a fight camp, it was always going to end this way despite Volk clearly being the better fighter after their February fight, Dana should never allowed the fight to go ahead based on this
Yeah like the 3rd Canelo vs GGG fight it don't really have any significance due to the circumstances.
RD2&3 weren't as pretty (broken hand didn't help) but my god u NEVER see Usman man handled like he was in RD1. Khamzat is a freakishly good wrestler.
Agreed. Round 1 was insane never seen Usman being ragdolled like that before and he was almost choked out too
Dude I'm gonna kiss you on the mouth while you sleep. Then we'll see who the good wrestler is
Leon had similar success taking Usman down round 1 in their fight as well. Seems like fighting from bottom is Usman's only weakness.
@Rodboobam what's your problem?
Usman wins in a 5 rounder
Beautiful speech from Khamzat at the end, that all religions like muslims Jews and Christians need to live in peace with eachother 🙌🏾 im a new fan of him🤝🏾
xD
A big step towards that would be to edit the quran and the hadiths. Because they spew so much hate. The Bible needs some editing too
Edit: and I guess we'll add the talmud to the list as well for all you butt hurts out there
Amen to that🙏✝️
@@MrBjoern91uff bad take
Time to grow up
@@MrBjoern91🤣🤣 Yeah we’re just going to change the truth because Bjoern doesn’t like it. Qur’an and Sunnah is staying how it is
Did not expect that beautiful speech from khamzat
What an insane night of fights. NOT A SINGLE point deduction was crazy considering the sheer number of fouls. Some terrible ref decisions.
Hearing the commentary saying Walker seemed out of it, he ALWAYS seems out of it - he’s a weird dude! Then finding out he responded “the desert” is on par with what I’d expect out of his mouth. Should have at least given him 5, run it back
He was asked what round it was twice and he couldn't answer
@@Triggercut92fighters ask their corners what round it is all the time…
@@Triggercut92couldn’t? Or didn’t.
@@dominickschrute3084 Yeah cause they're exhausted, this was 2 minutes into the fight lmao
@@JD_13 If he could, why wouldn't he?
In my opinion, respect stands strong for Usman, Volk, Khamzat, Islam. They all showed their high level. They stepped up on short notice for very Important fights. Respect has to be applied here. +I loved Khamzat's post fight message
True bro. They all good. They all top fighters.
Exactly. UFC owes them big, Alex and Usman.
Usman on short notice almost beat Chimaev. One more round and he wins. It was a draw imo. Chimaev won round 1. Usman won round 2. 3rd is even. Usman wins in the standup in round 3. khamzat has takedown control the other half of the round
I had sex with islam he made me feel like a real man but I fell pregnant so I don't know what to do
@@ItachiUchiha-ge6em
Round 1 was a 10-8 for Chimaev. If you have round 3 even then Chimaev still wins dummy. Lol
UFC needs to figure out the audio thing on post fight press conferences with reporters
Reporter - What's Your Name?
Dana - What's the Question Again?
All that money and we cant even hear each other at a press conference 😂😂
The Walker/Ankalaev situation has to be the weirdest ending to a fight ever. Still not clear on how that went the way it did.
Na, it’s a DQ. We witnessed a rigged outcome that they’re going to blame on that doctor.
@@nikeguy2i dont think it was illegal it was foul tho so point deduction give 5mins to get better and continue i dont understand what happened
In America that would have been a DQ win for Walker but they didn't wanna upset the Arabs.
@@nikeguy2 how was it rigged lmao
@@jodawgsup I think the reasoning is because aljo won the belt off yan with an illegal knee even though from what I understand he was down on the score cards or it was close I'm sure theirs other cases but I think that's the argument being made I don't understand the precedent of DQs enough to really say if it was fair or not myself
Man UFC is so lucky to have a guy like Dana in charge. It’s refreshing to see an interview with actual answers
Im genuinely very curious as to why Khamzat gets a title shot with this performance over a Welterweight at middleweight. When DDP knocked out Whittaker and Adesanya hasnt decided what he plans on doing next. Middleweight is an absolutely stacked shark tank right now but it’s a hot potato game with Strickland as champion currently as well
Khamzat is the bigger name , fortunately or unfortunately
Adesanya said he's taking a long time off btw. It makes sense Khamzat gets the shot, he's undefeated.
@@dowogenesthedog7186it should be DDP but Dana can say what ever he wants and just go back on it because he gets mad when fights says no to fight even if they just fought 2 months ago
Dricus did get a title shot and he TURNED IT DOWN.
TF out of here Dricus, and head to the BACK OF THE LINE 😂😂😂
@@leflopjames5628he didn’t turn it down, he was injured right after the fight and said so. Khamzat is injured now, should we force him to fight on one month notice? No they won’t, because it’s ridiculous
Khamzat broke his hand in the first round, which is why he was barely throwing in the final 2.
makes sense, i was wonderin why kumshot was not attacking round 2...
@@Left_4_Dead1997who cares kumshot won and will come for dricus or strickland
@@Left_4_Dead1997lol let’s be honest u wouldn’t say kumshot to his face, acting like Dilian dickhead Danis
excuses cuz he didn’t dominate
Broken hand isnt the reason he gassed out tho. I said it from the start that khamzat needes to make drastic changes in his striking to stand a chance against usman on the feet
My dude is going deaf. Holy cow.
Usman would win the 5 rounder and he was on 12 days and 15lbs outside his class kind of crazy to think about what a savage
They seriously need to sort out a better way for Dana to hear these questions hahahahaha, no one's fault as it doesn't happen with the other fighters but help him out here! Props to the UFC for another incredible event pulled together on late notice.
Its so rare to see Islam not smiling just once. Before the fight i think he keep it personal and he wont lose no matter what happen.
he isnt happy bc the gaza situation
Why can’t those two sides just fight in the cage instead smh
@@johnnguyen6469because it’s not a fair fight it’s a genocide. The equivalent of putting a grown man like francis vs a 11 yr old kid.
Focused I guess.
@abrahamdeleon2445 Well I’m not trying to go to world war over those two sides not getting along. Keep us out of it
This wasn’t Dana White…this was Dana Red
His face when he was talking about the people lying about staph was hilarious.
😂 he looks like a boiled lobster
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Funny …I prefer Dana White myself, Dana Red doesn’t curse in Muslim countries 🤔
This was Dana What? With his deafness😂
Johnny saying "i'm in a desert" got me dying
GSP is king at welterweight everyone knows. He even managed to put Dana White in his place by leaving at the right time as opposed to other champions that remained and lost
Dana hears fewer questions first time with every press conference I swear
He’s had bad hearing for years, for awhile looked like he might of had to step away because of his ears
Dana isn't going away anywhere soon.
He had ear surgery so his hearing isn't great
Need to see Usman at 185 more
Meh what did he do??
How are they unable to fix the audio issues during these conferences? Nobody can ever hear anything. Why not just an in-ear monitor?
Dana's confused face every time listening to these questions doesn't get old 😄
Back in the days it was the Brazilians being feared in the UFC but that’s long gone now. Dagestan and Chechnya are taking over the UFC. These guys are warriors.
They're also inbred
Inbred warriors
Because brazil is dead. Like new york
Not really at all… Chimaev has yet to fight a ranked mw opponent, only has one notable ww win which many think Burns won.. but the Dagestani hype and push is very real.
The only thing they’re warriors of is cutting weight to fight a weight class lower than everyone else. They have some kind of secret… most likely an IV but who knows… that why you never saw khabib fight a WW and you’ll never see Islam move up either
The headkick placement was perfect from Islam right on the temple literally hit the off switch. Clean as it gets
Hit the switch off? Volk was finished by the ground and pound lol leon edwards head kick is what u call perfect.
Considering volk wasnt out it didnt hit the off switch but ok
@@wearydingo4453 Well no not at all lmao, you dont know what you are talking about. Islam set the head kick up with a few body kicks before that, which got Alex to lower his guard and duck a little. "Ground and pound" quite literally didnt matter at all there, honestly Alex won the wrestling exchange before that.
Both fighters are great, fantastic kick from Islam though
Now, i wouldnt consider it a high kick with volks height :v
Exactly like dana said its not like it went to later rounds and fatigued because it was a short notice Makhachev finished with a beautiful headkick in the very first round when both fighters are very fresh 👌🏽
They really need to sort out Dana not being able to hear the press haha
This Press conference should have lasted 5 minutes if Dana actually heard the questions
Dana is raging. Can’t even process the questions given and the answers, his head is like scrambled eggs right now.
Looks like he doesnt like islam and khamzat. Both fights went the opposite of what he wanted/expected
Geez what are you guys on "Dana is raging" what does that even mean. Dana is doing okay based on all the fight that just happen.
Probably low ratings. I dont even follow anymore, its been kinda boring with rematches
@@Gratefulfellow it means that he is pissed you can’t catch the vibe? He don’t like Islam we all know this and with khamzat.
@@RedSpicyFeast1010 Dana loves Islam and Khamzat. Those guys are huge draws outside the US, and Dana loves that Saudi money.
- Where are you right now ?
- In the desert
- he’s not wrong 😂😂
“Terrorising someone in the back” 🤣🤣🤣
At the end of the day like him or not Khamzat has fought 2 high level fighters and won. Even though they were by decisions, each fight you saw how good he was. Yes he still has some work to do but this guy has proven he can hang with the top guys and can dominant.
They were welterweights that khamzat has beaten. He hasn’t fought a middleweight like Paulo costa before
@@angelinerivas1959khamzat is also a welterweight btw. Just give him respect. No one is arguing what ur arguing. Usman weighed in and they fought like men. And khamzat won
@KD400_ But not convincingly. Usman COMPLETELY Dominated stand up coming up a weight class and Weighing In as the lighter fighter. The take downs didn't make for a 29 27 fight. It's flagrant at this point Smfh. Split decision win, ok. 29 27 nahhhhhh. Great head kick Islam 🎉🎉😁😁
@@TWH69 yh Usman definitely got better later on in the fight
@@KD400_ I thought the same and was taken back.... but a broken wrist / hand explains it.
Usman is a beast but GSP is arguably the best welterweight of all time. He went through two generations of fighters. He avenged his two losses. He actually went up in weight, after a 3 .5 year layoff, and beat the 185 champ. Usman loss twice two Leon, and loss now at 185.🤷♂️
Both are legends. GSP is the better WW, but Usman isnt that far behind.
There is no question GSP is more goated than Usman lol. Dana is just promoting a currently active fighter.
GSP is the best of all time, no argument.
Yeah, I hate Dana saying that. GSP is the greatest WW. Better record and more tittle defense than Usman.
GSP lost twice in his prime. Why didn't GSP go up in weight when Anderson Sliva was the champ? Bisping was one of the weakest middleweight champions. GSP cherry picked Bisping. If GSP is so tough why didn't he defend middleweight title against Robert Whittaker or Luke rockhold. He vacated the belt a month later.
It's so great that Dana phones in these press conferences and says I don't know for half the questions...
This is one of the first times I remember Dana giving Fedor "ANY" praise, whatsoever. Finally, very cool Dana.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Dana was very angry with that disqualification from Magomed Ankalev.
Don’t think he will make it public, because the doctor done his job. Wasn’t his fault Johnny missed Geography class. 😂🤣
ya that sucked that fight was gonna be crazy it already was to start, so lame
It was no contest. Not a disqualification
Not a DQ, non contest, nah? Either way he’ll be pissed off but I don’t know how Walker handled the doc’s examination
@@damionwilliams5261well he said he was in the desert lol so he wasn’t wrong
This is why I never get hyped up or order a fight with a replacement like this.. Volk while great stepped in when he should NOT have.
Agreed! While he backed himself to get the upset win but damn, this decision backfired massively.
I dont think volks fitness level caused him to get head kicked
I agree. It was a mistake. Personally I always felt him going up to fight Islam was a mistake from before the first fight. Was shocked he did so well in fight 1. This one was more like what I expected the first fight to look like. Sad but expected.
@@chadwellington2524Not fitness but 6+ weeks of conditioning/sparring could of help him avoid that kick lol
@@ALYXTANKBACKPACK I dont think so... these guys have been sparring their whole lives and volk already had a full camp before to train for islam style. A few months of sparring wouldnt change anything haha
I think personally Khamzat could be the the greatest welterweight, but Shavkat got more wins, no losses as well. So we need them 2 too fight at some point before chimaev even gets the chance for champ.
He isn’t a welterweight anymore. I think you are getting confused.
Sound quality in this place was shocking 😳........
Well done dana getting in there to karm it down 👏
I think if that fight was 5 rounds Usman was going to win even on 12 days notice..
Hopefully we see Usman vs Costa next
I think if chimaev didn’t break his hand it would’ve been a massacre
@JeromeBirdshead-yt1hu that's IF he actually broke it. He's amazing on the ground but his gas tank looked abit suspect today and his striking didn't look anything special was even on the feet
And I just think, you never gonna find out.
@@JeromeBirdshead-yt1huDoes a broken hand affect cardio? His takedown attempts were noticeably slower after round 1 and he could barely speak after 3 rounds.
The issue Khamzat hasn’t been active in the last year is because he opened his mouth and leaked that it wasn’t his plan to miss weight vs Diaz and was punished for it
He said it again in the build up for this fight... So no
If you actually believe that you need some cognitive help, a common sense class or something
@davidwatts8281 no?
😂😂😂 I'm some people's stupidity in comments is crazy...
ironic dana can hear fine when he’s at a bar or casino with loud ass music playing but in the silent post fight press conference he turns into hellen keller 😂
Oscar asks the best questions, good work bro from an Aussie!
Dana is such a hater calling Usman goat. When his hate is the only reason he doesnt say GSP.
DDP should get the title shot first.
The best Dana White quote of all time..
" Hey listen.. "
How can Dana never understand the questions or hear them 😂. Every time.
I put money on Usman. I think this really is Khazmats coming out party. So glad he’s a middleweight now. I think he’s gonna smash his way to the title. And what a KO from Islam. 😮 Dudes a really threat on the feet! His training camps are that of a dominant champion.
Dana white saying "greatest welterweight of all time" is wild
Dana still pissed at GSP for retiring early
@@elrodrigo4102true and then came back won the middleweight belt and vacated 😂
I mean nobody believes that. It's GSP for sure
What's crazy is I like Usman, but it's not even close, usmans a far second
Respect to Usman and Volk for accepting dangerous fights at such short notice
Did the ring-side doctor set up the audio for this press conference?
Dana is not happy it seems he didn't want it to play out this way
I’m disappointed as well, I don’t care about who won the fights but there was barely any competitiveness. Most fights were either a complete domination or boring to watch. I had high hopes for the Usman and Khamzat fight especially but the whole thing felt a little anticlimactic.
You really care what Dana feels, sure he cares about your feelings bro.
@@veslets Its not a TV show its real fighting its not all going to happen as you want it to.
@@JustChill-zd4ib oh true I didn’t know that, Thankyou for that very enlightened response
@@vesletsI thought the Usman vs Khamzat was great. Wish it was a 5 round fight though
Great night of fights apart from the Walker fight. But it is what it is. Mad respect for Islam, Volks, Usman and Khamzat.
I was honestly disappointed with the main card tbh, especially the main and co-main events. I’m not a huge fan of any of these guys but I just hoped for something a little more competitive.
Terrible night. All those non-contests and shit mains. Your crazy
Respect to Dana for roasting Sharabullet on his takedown defense
Dana aint no "saint" quote on quote but gotta love the man. He truly is a legend in fighting promotion.
Khazmat should’ve fought 5 rounds. Co mains should always be 5 rounds….: this was dumb!!
Usman was offered 5 Rounds and he said he wanted 3 as it was short notice.
If usman had so much more cardio he should have koed chimaev in the third. But he barely threw
Yesterday: "The Champ has a name, And his name is Charles Oliveira"
Today: "The Champ has a name, And his name is Alexander Volkanaski"
Tomorrow: "The Champ has a name, And his name is Justin Gaethje"
In the future: "The Champ has a name, And his name is Paddy Pimblet"
This hate will always continue on Islam no matter what, Stay strong Islam... *You're the TRUE No.1P4P right now*
Who cares
@@txstdmmy9774charles the quitter oliveira !!!! yea u right that man is scared shittles
This was corny.
Jones is the p4p number 1, but otherwise I agree.
Lol Islam vs Paddy would be HILARIOUS
this man answers questions perfectly, very well spoken
Khazmat,, the only guy to get a title shot without fighting a ranked opponent at that weight
Dana is clearly underwhelmed by the ppv. From the walker v ankalaev no contest, to khamzat not getting a finish, and islam ending the fight super fast. I think dana was hoping for another war between them and not a one sided showing.
Damn you really care what Dana feels. I don't think he cares what you feel lil bro.
@@JustChill-zd4ib🤡 👆
He only cares about $$$
😂 Volk was on like 3 weeks notice and fighting a weight class above…. There’s no way this would’ve gone 5 rounds.
We need a prime Connor to come back hungry then ever imagine he deff would put on a show if
Respect to chimaev
Please FIX the buzzing in the audio. it almost makes it unwatchable with headphones
I was more interested in the co main Bc main was too one sides. Not sure why it took 8 rnds. Usman vs Kamtzat should have been a 5 rnd fight though. 3rounds not good enough for top level fighters main event or not.
0:32 that's why cro cop is one of the legends. 9 years since a head kick ko for cro cop and people still mention cro cop when a head kick is landed
How about when Gonzaga dusted Cro Cop with that headkick?
If Khamzat really did break his hand then you have to give Dricus Du Plessis his (already deserved) title shot
Exactly!!!
Dana: we want to go everywhere.
Reporters: what about my country?
HE SAID EVERYWHERE!!!
so many reporters try to push their own fighter or country in Dana's face. How about talking about fights that are actually happening.
Dang I didn’t know gsp was out of that bjj match??? That sucks I was looking forward to that
I have so many things to say about Main event and Co Main event. First, I really hope Usman next fight is at middleweight. So many good fights for him. How about Usman vs Vettori or Costa.
Second, it seems like Khamzat will fight Sean for title. I am sure Khamzat training hard, but not sure if he can go five rounds. Again round three Khamzat was gassed. In my opinion if the Burns fight was five rounds Khamzat would have lost.
Third, all credit to Volk. I would love for Volk to say at 155. He can go take care of business in January and move up to 155 if he wins.
Last for Islam next fight should be vs Gaethje unless he wants to fight at 170. I have no issues with Oliveira, but since he lost the title he beat Dariush. Gaethje beat Poirier and Fiziev. Two is more than one. Charles should fight Gamrot at the same card and winner gets title shot.
One more point. Dustin should fight Beneil next, but for some reason Dustin doesn't wanted that fight. It should be Arman vs Bobby Green.
If Khamzat and Burns would’ve went two more rounds after the three rounds they’ve fought, it’s obvious that Burns would lose even worse. Burns was looking destroyed after the three rounds, his face was all covered in blood and he started to slow down. And I’m not saying that Khamzat absolutely destroyed Burns. Khamzat also took a lot of damage. It was a war. Both fighters performed great. But Chimaev was still the better fighter that day. And he would’ve also won if that fight went to 5 rounds.
Great analysis I agree
Justin vs Islam is a stale fight, no one will be hype for that
I’d rather see arman or someone new get a shot at the title
@@yassir8235 u see reality thru muslim eyes, Khamzat was losing Burns fight just like he was losing Usman fight, He just got a strong first round
Khamzat is overhyped and this fight shows it. He outwrestle Usman but didnt finish, he gassed and did nothing in stand up.
Usman lower division, on short notice, coming from b2b loses and Khamzat couldnt finish, he was even anywhere close of finishing Usman.
1st round : 10-9 - or 10-8 depends how u see it, i saw no damage done so 10-9
2nd round : 9-10 - for Usman
3rd round : 9-9
From 2 nd round it started leaning towards Usman, Khamzat couldnt secure a takedown and had zero offensive striking. And he was on full camp, it was Usman that suppose to be gassed not Khamzat. He is not champ material. No yet
so yea, he is legit but overhyped and that Dana privilage. They feed him Holland, Burns was also suppose to be pray but lol, they tried ot feed him Usman but he also couldnt finish.
He always side steps the question the reason khamzat hasn't been fighting. Now I'm curious
Looking at the roster, its crazy to see how many of these Chechen and Russian fighters are taking over
I love humble Khamzat his post fight speech won me over, I’m a fan!
bro how tf do the mics consistently not work at these press conferences. i will never understand 😂
Dana doesn’t pay for batteries
Wish boxing press conferences were structured like this.
I think Jon Fitch, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, Dan Hardy, Josh Koscheck, Jake Shields, Carlos Condit, Nick Diaz and Johnny Hendricks would disagree with Dana's assessment of greatest WW.
Nathanial Wood fight should have been a draw. How do you not take a point away.
Why did The UFC Cut Audio where Islam Said He won’t be celebrating his win because of the war & his message about peace ? I love what Khamzat said, Just live & Let Us Live, Let Us Be Happy! The world needs to hear that message over a fighter saying how great I am because they stepped in on short notice.
Regardless thank you Islam & Khamzat for using your voice!
UFC is trying to be as neutral as possible
Dana is a savage😂 although I feel he is fed up with silly questions. He has every right, he needs a Conor McGregor type individual he needs an individual who is gonna question his intellect he needs a star. He was happiest dealing with an unpredictable man who could jump on a private jet and toss a chair through a window…
Beating Whittaker via TKO > beating former WW champ via majority decision.
Dricus deserves the title shot NOT Khamzat!
Amazing performance by Islam even tho I was fully rooting for Alex! However, overall the card was pretty mid, 4/10 at best. Pretty disappointing for us, the European crowd who was looking forward to it. Especially the prelims were a massive letdown.
Hope they end the year strong with the next 2 cards.
Very disappointing in my opinion
That’s combat sports.
I absolutely enjoyed all the fights even the prelims.
Loads of first round stoppages some great skills shown. You’ll never be happy my friend grow the hell up
Can't blame the UFC though this was a good card on paper. Just didn't feel like it lived up to the hype
