@@MrFring. By doing no damage stalling against the fence? That’s not how the scoring criteria says fights are meant to be scored. “Control” against the fence (stalling after a failed takedown) is not meant to contribute to winning a round - only effective grappling (threatening submissions etc.) and damage is what wins the fight.

Drop the price of PPV. $80 for 2-3 hours of fighting is wild, it’s really not even that. I won’t buy the fights at home if it’s just the family. I’d buy every fight if it was $40. At the moment I only buy the PPV if 3-4 friends come over

Can you even call this journalism? Paying 4 people to repeatedly ask stupid fast ball down the middle questions for 14 minutes? What's the point? Did you hear that "reporter" back right down when Dana denied any negative comments about his power slap promotion 😅
@@glumexamination7401if you think that then you need to go read the definition of journalism again. There is zero journalism in the UFC press rooms AT ALL. Anyone who asks the tough questions gets their press pass revoked. Same with the UFC hall of fame, it's just the Dana White favoritism club. Putting cowboy cerrone in it for doing nothing but fighting more than most, meanwhile Arlovski has done the same as cowboy and actually held a belt. Dana favoritism club.
To be fair that’s what every sports reporter does in football they ask the most nonsense questions that everyone knows the answer to same in basketball
5 years ago that was true. There’s a reason the UFC goes back there every year now, and the NHL just gave them a team. Nightlife is growing, and Mormons are leaving, since the place has recently turned in to New California
Man, I love Jose Aldo as much as any long-time MMA fan, but he lost that fight, and it’s on him. Like y’all said, Bautista did nothing, but he did dictate the style of the fight through his efforts. Damage is the top priority in judging, but Aldo did so little that just control, without any takedowns or damage taken, outweighed it. For me as a fan, it’s a damn shame. You have a fan favorite former champion, with the hands of a professional boxer and the legs of a Muay Thai champion, not willing to throw a jab or leg kick. Bautista closed the distance easily every time because Aldo attempted no offense, even while given multiple resets. He could have won this fight with just jabs and leg kicks, but made no attempt to.

Alex is such a beast, that training with Sean clearly inspired him to do those face destroying jabs. Khalil really surprised me with his power and speed, I think he would do better at 185 tho.
The Judging was fine. You can question the Referee for not breaking the Clinch but the Judging did an ok job. Mario won the 1st and 3rd Pretty clearly. He Outstriked Aldo with those Knees in the Thigh and Shoulder strikes. Yeah those didn't do a lot but Aldo straight up did nothing for most of these rounds. Even in the Standup Mario outstruck him in 1 and 3
Gotta be honest man, I thought Khalil was going to take Alex. And I mean, the first three rounds, felt like Alex was hitting a Rhinoceros. Roundtree Jr. landed some devastating kicks, and Alex took it like a champ. Insane the way Alex mined Khalil's defence. Masterfully done, I mean. Bravo! For both of the fighters. Khalil showed a lot of endurance and definitely gained my respect. Much love for the UFC.
The amount of punishment Rountree could handle is insane !! The power Alex have is unthinkable hard. Systematic Alex broke down Rountree and stay calm with his counters. His run is the UFC is the best. For me, he surpassed Connor run

Congratz to Alex Pereira, thats definitely the UFC's face around the world rn and congratz to Khalil. What a fighter, what a warrior. Best UFC title fight in 2024.
Aldo and Pennington were ROBBED. Pennington shouldn't have lost the belt to Pena, Julianna is not good enough to be a champion and showed that in the final round. Scoring system needs to be changed immediately it's been nothing but a problem for years.
IMO unfair to compare Poatan to Anderson Silva. Different time. One thing I remember about Silva was he always ended a fight when ever he wanted. I think he only lost because he got bored.
khalil vs jiri sounds better. hill is too overrated. its a shame walker got injured, before that injury, he was unstoppable. he had crazy momentum, lost that and his confidence after his 1st loss since returning
Quantity over quantity. Times have changed. It’s all about selling out arenas and meeting their ESPN plus quota. I’d rather see 15-20 cards a year with killer fights, but that’s just me.
Happy for Poatan. And Rountree, the heart and chin that man has is wayyyy better than Ankalaev can ever dream of. Rountree will beat Hill, Jiri and Ankalaev any day! 🎉
The aldo fight was necessary to make change and use as an example of how to modify the ref and scoring. Unfortunately Aldo was the sacrificial lamb but they need to modify the stall tactics used by fighters asap.
Glad Kayla won. Pena is a fake champ. Holland talks 2 much glad he lost. Buckley seemed more humble after his win tonight compared to last post fight weirdness. Khalil got heart. Potan needs to fight Ankalaev once he gets past Rakatic*
@@drosesonn1 funny considering my involvement with the game. aldo lost based on control alone. im just not someone who is delusional over my bias like you. making excuses for a sports team or athlete when they lose. like my god man get over it
If you had not watched Khalil fight you would be surprised by this fight. It was obvious Khalil had the striking skills to compete with Alex. No one should be surprised.
Khalil wears his heart on his sleeve. I think it’s awesome. It’s honest. Why do people think that makes him weak or scared or whatever? This dudes a warrior.
I'm a die hard anderson fan but he didn't fight legit wrestler till Chael. Leben, Franklin, Cote, Marquardt, Henderson, Irvin, Griffin, Okami, and Bonnar are all primarily strikers. The only grapplers her fought were Lutter who was a complete tomato can, Leites who was more strictly BJJ than using wrestling, and Maia before he started even using wrestling when he dropped down to 170. Anderson is my all time favorite fighter but he fought 85% strikers
Brazilian here, my two cents about the Aldo fight. Aldo didn't won that fight, I hate that the win goes to such boring strategy, but the fight was close and Bautista hold Aldo who in turn, never left the brakes of. Eddie Alvarez won his title shot doing the same shit against Pettis, Aljoke "defended" his belt hugging Petr Yan. Truth be told, you are fighting these kind of guys, try to control the fight, turn the freaking engines on and up the volume. Aldo is gun shy for years now and people are still defending him, when he is the one to blame. He had chances in the fight, but he didn't engage. Again I hate what Bautista did, but fighting takes two people, Aldo didn't do his part too.
What about don't book Aldo against high pressure fighter at the altitude. Bautista is a good fighter, and now people will hate him. Failed attempt to build a newcomer through a legend even though he won, yet again.
How’s that the matchmakers fault? He had a prime spot on the main card vs JOSE ALDO and he decided to to hold Aldo on the fence. Should have used the opportunity to build a fan base. The hate he gets is on him.
@@SponsoredByZiplocThe matchmaker should also take blame but for a different reason. Aldo should’ve been given a title elimination bout because he has multiple top 10 wins, yet gets thrown to the wolves against Bautista, yet Umar gets fast tracked. We all know why.
@bangbang6317 I understand your point, but that fight scenario was written on the wall since they booked the fight. There are very few fighters who fight to entertain, most of them fight to win any way possible. And at this point, considering history and company man he has been, why won't UFC give a name fight is mind boggling, he already beat prospect earlier this year.

I like Jiri too. 307 made me a fan of Khalil so I’d hate to see either lose again so soon
@@dillanhamilton agreed
This card sucked. The main event was good but the rest of the card was just terrible
Wonderboy buckley was really good
Quantity over quantity. Times have changed. It’s all about selling out arenas and meeting their ESPN plus quota. I’d rather see 15-20 cards a year with killer fights, but that’s just me.
Almost every card outside of 300 has been abysmal the whole year. 299 was good, 298 had some good fights etc, but most have been atrocious.
Bro Khalil still hasn’t shot a takedown what a monster ❤ he could have and didn’t
His UFC page says he has 1 takedown attempt, he's a fraud.
The judging rules need to be adjusted for the stalling against the fence shit. That should not count towards scoring in a “fight”
Truely perfect takedown defense means absolutely nothing it seems.
Happy for Poatan. And Rountree, the heart and chin that man has is wayyyy better than Ankalaev can ever dream of. Rountree will beat Hill, Jiri and Ankalaev any day! 🎉
so actually, Dana is the one thinking that judges need to break up fighters in the clinch or on the ground when "nothing" is happening
Roundtree made a million fans off a loss , there is a proper way to lose … he’s a Dog! He’s a star cause I wanna see him fight now every time. 💪💪💪
Judges are like politicians….how are they still employed?
The aldo fight was necessary to make change and use as an example of how to modify the ref and scoring. Unfortunately Aldo was the sacrificial lamb but they need to modify the stall tactics used by fighters asap.
Pennington got robbed
Yeah that was wild pena didn't earn that belt
I was waiting to see this comment. How can they fix the problem with the judges? Pena lost 3 to 2. Its fkin dumb.
It’s crazy even when they were standing there before the announcement pena looked like a sad puppy because she knew she lost
They both deserved to lose. Championship fight with amateur striking and both fought scared the whole time
Who cares, that was the most pathetic title fight I ever saw, neither deserve the belt
The judges against Jose is something of pure insanity
Both Guru and Alex with deadly KO’s this weekend!
Gu who ?
Guru vs nina was a performance of a life time
What’s Guru’s record?
Who tf is guru?
he smashed nothing
Unpopular opinion: I thought the Pennington vs Pena fight was good and non-stop for 5 rounds
Alex is a great fighter !!!
Rountree was such a warrior ❤I’m such I’m definitely watching Rountree. I think Rountree should of incorporated his kicking into his fight game
Some of these questions... jesus, these "journalists" should feel embarassed
None are REAL journalists they are ALL hand picked by Dana thats a fact.
The last question was just a poorly worded repeat of a question that was already asked. No wonder Dana had to ask “what was the question”?
Props to the reporter confronting Dana about stupid and dangerous Powerslap
Glad Kayla won. Pena is a fake champ. Holland talks 2 much glad he lost. Buckley seemed more humble after his win tonight compared to last post fight weirdness. Khalil got heart. Potan needs to fight Ankalaev once he gets past Rakatic*
Dana should give Khalil 1 million dollars extra. Saved the card and took a beating that will take years of his career.
Aldo and Esparza were robbed. What a shame two former champs
thank god you arent judging because you sound soo biased. i love aldo too, but he lost. it resembled the merab fight really.
@@violentminded2908you know nothing of fighting if you think Aldo lost.
You mean R. Pennington too
Please don’t remind me esparza was a champ
@@drosesonn1 funny considering my involvement with the game. aldo lost based on control alone. im just not someone who is delusional over my bias like you. making excuses for a sports team or athlete when they lose. like my god man get over it
We need Artem Vakhitov vs Poatan🎉
Guru vs nina was the real main event
First round ko by guru
He smoked that hypocritical industry plant
Rountree put on a cracking performance but Alex is a level above the rest!
Feed Clown Donkey Jahamal Hill to Khalil please Dana and thank you!!
Chama is unstoppable.🔥
I just want to see Jon jones get smoked by stipe to see Dana throw a conniption fit. I think that would be better than the ppv.
Jon would need to enter the octagon on fentanyl for that to happen. In all fairness that’s not out of question though
Dana pretending powerslap isn’t a problem with concussions was something lol
Pennington robbed. I’m done with the UFC until the judges are held accountable
They can't be held accountable, cause the judges are appointed by the state commissions, aka it will never get better.
12:40 "oh that's from my wife"
😂😂😂
Dana cant wait to catch that plane to vegas and hit the casinos 😂
I bet on Wonderboy and roundtree and I don’t regret it! He’s a beast!
09:10 Of course you don’t get concussions from power slap. What are these crazy doctors talking about? lol
Power slap should be illegal.
It’s absolutely ridiculous
@@SM-mz2hzwhy should it be illegal?
@@tomcooks2562
Because of its stupidity.
Standing motionless and defenceless while someone rattles your brain.
@@SM-mz2hz so everything deemed stupid should be illegal? Whatever happened to freedoms? You must be a fan of authoritarian dictators
Dana need to make Muay Thai with small gloves in ufc like one.
That fight is 100% why fans love it when fights bang not hug and kiss
If you had not watched Khalil fight you would be surprised by this fight. It was obvious Khalil had the striking skills to compete with Alex. No one should be surprised.
310 should be shavkat vs belal co main and umar vs merab main event
Sounds lit
Lol shavkat is main event
Shavkat vs. Belal would be the main event.
Tell me you're muslim without telling me you're muslim
@@ryancandee5354 wtf
Never forget what Khalil Rountree did. We can't forget this. Legend.
50 GS DANA 50GS HOOK ME UP! PLEASE!
Reyes is on same card as Jon in December 😂 thanks Dana
Dana white knuckles looks like he’s been punching a wall.
Khalil wears his heart on his sleeve. I think it’s awesome. It’s honest. Why do people think that makes him weak or scared or whatever? This dudes a warrior.
Lol dana so butt hurt about the brain damage in slap fighting
I think part of Khalil's brain came out his nose in that post-fight interview but what heart and what a performance.
Chama!!!
Khalil just got himself a massive new fan base. What a warrior.
anderson silva fought grapplers constantly, pereira hasnt beat one
Tell me 1 grappler from top 5 in his division Duh
Pereira never beat any high level grapplers, Silva never beat any high level strikers.
I'm a die hard anderson fan but he didn't fight legit wrestler till Chael. Leben, Franklin, Cote, Marquardt, Henderson, Irvin, Griffin, Okami, and Bonnar are all primarily strikers. The only grapplers her fought were Lutter who was a complete tomato can, Leites who was more strictly BJJ than using wrestling, and Maia before he started even using wrestling when he dropped down to 170. Anderson is my all time favorite fighter but he fought 85% strikers
Jan is not a low level grappler
@@Triumphantchild Vitor belfort, rich franklin x2, nate marquardt.
I love how Dana will call out the judges
Aldo and Carla got robbed… and the ref not seeing 3 eye pokes needs to go. What the hell happened tonight. Perriera saved the card
I want to se Kalhil outclass Hill and shut him up. That'd be satisfying
Brazilian here, my two cents about the Aldo fight. Aldo didn't won that fight, I hate that the win goes to such boring strategy, but the fight was close and Bautista hold Aldo who in turn, never left the brakes of. Eddie Alvarez won his title shot doing the same shit against Pettis, Aljoke "defended" his belt hugging Petr Yan.
Truth be told, you are fighting these kind of guys, try to control the fight, turn the freaking engines on and up the volume. Aldo is gun shy for years now and people are still defending him, when he is the one to blame. He had chances in the fight, but he didn't engage.
Again I hate what Bautista did, but fighting takes two people, Aldo didn't do his part too.
0/10.takedowns, 0 submission attempts, outstruck/outdamaged but hugged for 2 and a half minutes = win
Didn't eddie Alvarez mutilate RDA to win the belt what are you talking about?
Alvarez assassinated RDA in 1 round?
@@Kgopani3101 I wrote about how he earned his TITLE SHOT, a very boring fight vs Pettis, can’t you guys read?
He literally couldn't take the guy down. Holding someone against a fence shouldn't win you a fight
Buckley got POTN over Alex??? Are you high Dana? Buckley was getting beaten until that hook
00:00 What's up playboys!
01:05 No Suga, No whomsoever. Alex has been and is the face of the UFC for a long time now.
What about don't book Aldo against high pressure fighter at the altitude. Bautista is a good fighter, and now people will hate him. Failed attempt to build a newcomer through a legend even though he won, yet again.
How’s that the matchmakers fault? He had a prime spot on the main card vs JOSE ALDO and he decided to to hold Aldo on the fence. Should have used the opportunity to build a fan base. The hate he gets is on him.
@@SponsoredByZiplocThe matchmaker should also take blame but for a different reason. Aldo should’ve been given a title elimination bout because he has multiple top 10 wins, yet gets thrown to the wolves against Bautista, yet Umar gets fast tracked. We all know why.
@@Verziroo bro aldo is not deserving of a title shot ahead of Figgy or Yan either right now
@bangbang6317 I understand your point, but that fight scenario was written on the wall since they booked the fight. There are very few fighters who fight to entertain, most of them fight to win any way possible. And at this point, considering history and company man he has been, why won't UFC give a name fight is mind boggling, he already beat prospect earlier this year.
@@bessoia7064 agreed they’re definitely doing Aldo dirty
