That’s a ridiculous claim based in either ignorance or hating…both of which are asinine. He fought Chito because it was the only blemish on his record.

I watched the fight from Valentina and she dominated Alexa all the rounds crazy. Alexa had no chance, she tried to make armbar and 2-3 chokes at the beginning but at the end she couldnt it and lose.. valentina showed extremly good performance.
I love Valentina since she was at batamweight. She dominated the fight but there was not a single time Alexa was in danger. Yes, if the rounds were 1min longer she probably RNC her twice and a crucifix. But Valentina was in danger several times.
@@redweber7011 Nah this was worse, it took nearly two hours for the co main to start after the main card had even started. With only 4 fights on the main card I understand why some people feel cheated out of their money.
Anyone who's watched UFC seriously always knew Sean OMalley was a gimmick that would never work for long. I mean I like him and hope he can continue to evolve and come back. The Shevchenko fight was amazing as well. This was a really good card - minus the Brian T City - that guy lost his chin and unfortunately hes never gonna really win again, sad but it happens all the time
biggest gate in UFC history, biggest box office sales at the sphere in history, most merch sales in UFC history, well over $100 million made by the UFC last night. The two fighters with fight of the night, $50k bonus each. That's disgusting.
For idiots who don't understand business, this is how you know you're paying the right amount (this applied to ANY business). You set your pay structure and if the best in the world apply and accept that pay structure, then it means you are either paying the right amount or too much. UFC has the best fighter so do the math.
To be fair they probably broke even or made 10% profit the sphere probably cost more than the projected 25 million it was probably close to $35 or $50 million just in production work not including the night of production and broadcasting cost i mean yes the fighters deserve more pay but holding an event like this is not every profitable from a revenue standpoint
@@ipuya For idiots that don't pay attention to current events, the UFC is being sued for paying fighters too little. The UFC is accused of being a monopoly and colluding to keep fighter-pay down. The judge overseeing the case just let the case go to discovery a few weeks ago.
You're kidding yourself if you think Merab didnt gain a ton of fans after tonight. We all saw his wacky fight prep and then to go and dominate O'Malley like that. He is an interesting dude, he will be fine. Belal not so much
@@kaki2053 they will just stick them co mains with Ddp and Islam for sure. The sooner they change the ground game rules the better. Crouch stiffing has way too many advantages with the limitations to back of the head strikes elbows and knees, you simply wouldn't be doing that head down nonsense if someone could just elbow the back of your head . lol
@@BanksyOz I mean i like the guy, but it’s a pretty tough sell to casual fans if u compare the star power to O’malley or such. Would love to see Umar vs Merab for example but let’s be real, that’s not gonna get the numbers most fight fans think it would deserve.
Wtf was Herb Dean on with all that "lets work" shit... The fight literally had no point where the action stopped. On the ground Merab was throwing strikes and O'Malley was throwing up subs and escaping, on the feet it was non-stop action. Dude just wanted to hit the tables I guess.
Herb "let's work" Dean is so annoying. He says "let's work" more times in any one round that involves one minute of grappling more than the other referees during the whole night combined. "Best in the business" (according to Rogan) my ass, maybe a decade ago, but in the 2020s, he's the worst ref in the UFC.
Nope. He really wasnt that good. He fought cans, couldnt hold his L against Chito, they early stopped his title win against Aljo, his only legit win (and even that can be debatable) was vs Yan
Nah, he's gonna headline Fight Nights against strikers and once a striker gets a title he'll be given another shot. Unless he tries to leave for boxing instead of signing on for 8 more fights, then Dana feeding him to Merab and Umar.
You can't keep talking real bad about the co-main event the main event was kind of the same thing I think Valentina did great she won every round made it look easy
O’Malley grabbing Merabs gloves.. scratching Merabs face.. O’Malley trying to sneak Merab at the end of the round..Herb Dean trying to set this fight up for a knock out… Sean head nodding Dana at the end. this fight was very noticeably set up for Sean to knock out Merab and Merab wouldn’t let him. Beast
I think u do Vera vs Petr yan, Merab vs umar and O’Malley vs sandhagen (bc it would be hella entertaining) then o’malley vs Petr yan rematch an winner gets title shot
Merab did more than Valentina, but the scoring system needs to be adjusted so we don't get these grab on and hold for the win fights anymore. Simple solution: Take downs are not worth any points. Throws, slams, ground and pound, and submissions landed = points Takedowns with no damage = no points The same way you can't score points for punching someone's gloves The same way holding someone in boxing doesn't score you points. Let's make this small adjustment and see if we get better fights
The amount of detail in backgrounds of each fight felt like watching a real life Mortal Kombat game. Thank you UFC and Dana for putting this together. MGM needs to let them do this again.
The audio in the sphere was terrible. The screen was nice but geesh. Hilarious how the fighters wanted a bigger bonus but it was 99% decisions. Lame card.
Dude I love wrestling. But it’s obviously boring when you compare it to stand up. Especially to the average person. There was a clear energy shift in that entire arena starting with the co main event.
maybe back in the day but this dude hates his champs. Well maybe not hate but he very rarely promotes his other champions WHO ARE FUCKING ACTIVE. Instead he spends time trying to convince us that jon vs stipe is the fight everyone wants to see when there's an active champ in the division. He also refuses to give Islam his deserved pfp 1.
When O'Malley started his walk and he hit that arena.. you can see it in his face that it was very overwhelming. When he got to the cage it looked like he tried to embrace it and closed his eyes rather quickly. I think the pressure got to him. (Merabs pressure haha)
Main card didn’t really deliver but the production at the sphere, even watching at home was amazing. They need to do it for American independence for sure.
Reporter “do you think Omally was off tonight”

Dana just cant hide disappointment 😅
I thought bro was about to start with "Before we start guys I just want to take a moment to acknowledge that Jon Jones is the GOAT" 😂💀
Ufc 300 was the best ppv ever !
I agree i liked last year's ufc noche 2023 i think that card was way more exciting
Ufc 200 was much better
@@horton368fuck no UFC 200 was the biggest shit show ever they had to cancel whole bunch of imp fights at even Jon Jones didn't fight.
UFC 100 was better
UFC 1 was the best!
7 Hour Event for about 2 hours of Fighting!
Horrible
Next time you pay for it and do it your way.
That's how all events are. Someone's new to the ufc.
@@redweber7011 that’s bogus . We want our money back
@@redweber7011 Nah this was worse, it took nearly two hours for the co main to start after the main card had even started. With only 4 fights on the main card I understand why some people feel cheated out of their money.
Sean definitely felt flat. Flat on his back from getting dominated by Merab. 😂
Sean won 1, 3, 5
Anyone who's watched UFC seriously always knew Sean OMalley was a gimmick that would never work for long. I mean I like him and hope he can continue to evolve and come back. The Shevchenko fight was amazing as well. This was a really good card - minus the Brian T City - that guy lost his chin and unfortunately hes never gonna really win again, sad but it happens all the time
Diego was the real star of 306. Man put in real work.
So not 1 reporter was going to ask about Herb asking them to 'get busy' like he was a fucking coach. Wtf was with that
Are you new?
i take it ur one of the ‘tuning in for the first time’ fans
That was Herb finally doing something right for once
Herb was so in the right, O’Malley, the striker, was going minutes without throwing even while standing up
@@nukenarwhal7244 why would he throw at a guy who is intentionally staying 5' out of range like his life depended on it
You can tell Dana is pleased with the production but pissed by how shit the card was. 😂
Dude must’ve damn near had a stroke after Grasso and O’Malley lost via wet blanket 😭😭 Such a shit ending to what was a pretty good card beforehand.
The card was Phenomenal, sadly the two last fights left everyone with a sour taste
biggest gate in UFC history, biggest box office sales at the sphere in history, most merch sales in UFC history, well over $100 million made by the UFC last night. The two fighters with fight of the night, $50k bonus each. That's disgusting.
not to mention the commentators probably make more than the fighters
Itscalledbusinesss...lol
For idiots who don't understand business, this is how you know you're paying the right amount (this applied to ANY business). You set your pay structure and if the best in the world apply and accept that pay structure, then it means you are either paying the right amount or too much. UFC has the best fighter so do the math.
To be fair they probably broke even or made 10% profit the sphere probably cost more than the projected 25 million it was probably close to $35 or $50 million just in production work not including the night of production and broadcasting cost i mean yes the fighters deserve more pay but holding an event like this is not every profitable from a revenue standpoint
@@ipuya For idiots that don't pay attention to current events, the UFC is being sued for paying fighters too little. The UFC is accused of being a monopoly and colluding to keep fighter-pay down. The judge overseeing the case just let the case go to discovery a few weeks ago.
He looks so pissed 😂😂😂
I see blue lips
He works hard every day for more than 12 hours you could never so dont worry about his mood
@@Rapierist69 damn, someone's salty.
@@Rapierist69he doesn’t 😂 and blue collar work harder and the same hours so…
He knew it was a clown show. It looked cool but he basically paid 20 million for woke cartoons and some huge screensavers.
The production was insane dana was right the sphere stole the show. hats off to the ufc av team for that one!!
wish he addressed Herb Dean's "lets work 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽" nonsense.
Herb had money on the fight lol😅
Totally agree
dana is the one that told herb to push them
@@bsx121”Never seen a bookie with a part time job”
journalist‘s job
The funny thing is if Sean knocked out merab, the same people who are currently trash talk him would be trash talking merab. UFC fans are trash.
But you're one of us 😂
Yeah that's how reality works, people have different reactions based on different happenings.
Yeah, I hate the UFC fanbase. I much prefer One Championship fans
@@anonanon5927That's an interesting way to describe hypocrisy
Well the fact suga fought that way is frustrating. He literally looked dejected and checked out. Zero urgency
Lighting was amazing, Nice and diffused
Especially for those getting high on adrenochrome amidst an ether binge.
As always, a great card.
Even some of those unknowns really kicked ass
dauymn good luck selling ppvs with belal and merab headlining 😂
You're kidding yourself if you think Merab didnt gain a ton of fans after tonight. We all saw his wacky fight prep and then to go and dominate O'Malley like that. He is an interesting dude, he will be fine. Belal not so much
They’ll never headline. Lol
They gonna have 3 title fights in January with Islam headlining, belal in the co main and merab vs Umar as the featured fight 🤣
@@kaki2053 they will just stick them co mains with Ddp and Islam for sure.
The sooner they change the ground game rules the better. Crouch stiffing has way too many advantages with the limitations to back of the head strikes elbows and knees, you simply wouldn't be doing that head down nonsense if someone could just elbow the back of your head . lol
@@BanksyOz I mean i like the guy, but it’s a pretty tough sell to casual fans if u compare the star power to O’malley or such. Would love to see Umar vs Merab for example but let’s be real, that’s not gonna get the numbers most fight fans think it would deserve.
The whole main card went to decisions and the UFC lost their wannabe Conor cash cow O'Malley 😂
This is the calmest I've seen Dana at a presser in a very long time.
Wtf was Herb Dean on with all that "lets work" shit... The fight literally had no point where the action stopped. On the ground Merab was throwing strikes and O'Malley was throwing up subs and escaping, on the feet it was non-stop action. Dude just wanted to hit the tables I guess.
The fact this wasn't mentioned or the scoring for that fight tells me it was rigged lmao
Herb "let's work" Dean is so annoying. He says "let's work" more times in any one round that involves one minute of grappling more than the other referees during the whole night combined. "Best in the business" (according to Rogan) my ass, maybe a decade ago, but in the 2020s, he's the worst ref in the UFC.
Spot on! He told him to work when he had just advanced to half guard. He’s an idiot.
Go cry
Cry more
I think he knew he was going to lose he did not wanna fight him from the beginning
He seemed nervous all week
It’s time to have that chat
Was Omally ever really that good
bro lost one fight and u counting him out😭
Nope. He really wasnt that good. He fought cans, couldnt hold his L against Chito, they early stopped his title win against Aljo, his only legit win (and even that can be debatable) was vs Yan
If Sean isnt that good then what does that make chito lmao
@@ATribeCalledVincecouldn’t hold his L with chito. You saw that last fight right? Masterful striking
The court jester is gone! Thank god!
Nah, he's gonna headline Fight Nights against strikers and once a striker gets a title he'll be given another shot. Unless he tries to leave for boxing instead of signing on for 8 more fights, then Dana feeding him to Merab and Umar.
Merab lost. Sean win 1, 3, 5.
I love that Dana White still says bell instead of buzzer.
In England on tnt sports it ended 30 seconds before the fight ended . No interview didn’t see merab speak
the whole event was shit tbh
L
the whole card I thought was awesome except the main event
You can't keep talking real bad about the co-main event the main event was kind of the same thing I think Valentina did great she won every round made it look easy
O’Malley grabbing Merabs gloves.. scratching Merabs face.. O’Malley trying to sneak Merab at the end of the round..Herb Dean trying to set this fight up for a knock out… Sean head nodding Dana at the end. this fight was very noticeably set up for Sean to knock out Merab and Merab wouldn’t let him. Beast
I have never seen such a clearly rigged fight as whatever tf was going on in Herb Deans ear
Tbh the round didn't end,so that was Merab's fault
Poor man's Khabib vs conor lol..
Herb did the same shit in that fight too
And an Irish guy fought a guy from Caucases
2:44 Ribovics
11:35 best live sport event?
I think u do Vera vs Petr yan, Merab vs umar and O’Malley vs sandhagen (bc it would be hella entertaining) then o’malley vs Petr yan rematch an winner gets title shot
i aint paying for a single fight that has merab or belal as the "main event" LMFAO
I'm sorry but the event didn't live up to all the hype,I'm glad here in the UK it wasn't ppv
Same
19:17 bro if there’s a fucking event in the coliseum I’d lose it
Watching from the UK and I fell asleep at the co-main, which was about 5.30am. Perfect timing.
Merab did more than Valentina, but the scoring system needs to be adjusted so we don't get these grab on and hold for the win fights anymore. Simple solution:
Take downs are not worth any points. Throws, slams, ground and pound, and submissions landed = points
Takedowns with no damage = no points
The same way you can't score points for punching someone's gloves
The same way holding someone in boxing doesn't score you points.
Let's make this small adjustment and see if we get better fights
THE GOAT....THE REAL GOAT back where she belongs. Hope you guys enjoyed that extra year RENTAL courtesy of LORD BELL.
Dana puts so much into everything but the fights last few fights have been terrible but dana don care
90% decisions - Dana didnt seem to complain avout that this time.
He didn't bump the bonuses this time. He only brought that up because he bumped the bonuses and yet no one cared to fight harder.
The entire event was an elite level display of arts (Mixed Martial Arts and Digital/physical arts)
“Sean looked flat”, bruh the fight played like it was supposed to. Merab beats suga 10 out of 10 times.
The amount of detail in backgrounds of each fight felt like watching a real life Mortal Kombat game. Thank you UFC and Dana for putting this together. MGM needs to let them do this again.
it was mids
best ufc of all time- the sphere was made for ufc.
UFC uncle DANA THANK YOU FOR THIS SPECTACULAR SHOW 🙏
Emmy for the ufc 306 production, i hope they do it more, so good.
The audio in the sphere was terrible. The screen was nice but geesh. Hilarious how the fighters wanted a bigger bonus but it was 99% decisions. Lame card.
I knew it . Horrible ppv card
The sphere already has the screens built in so how did adding some rendered backgrounds and some cutscenes cost 20 million?
It's mma, people getting upset about wrestling and grappling is hilarious
Dude I love wrestling. But it’s obviously boring when you compare it to stand up. Especially to the average person. There was a clear energy shift in that entire arena starting with the co main event.
Yes but don’t expect any hype around a fighter that just wants to shoot and hold some one on the ground for a full 25min fight 🤦🏾♂️
@@highratings8651khabib?
@@Taylor-tb8wz You could say that for most female fights. This was a particularly boring one though
@@spoonsVSforksfr khabib was actually entertaining and would go for finishes
"Hopefully they turned off before the co-main event" is Brutal from Dana!! lmao
Huge credit to John Wood (Merab's coach) for the incredible gameplan. Merab executed it perfectly!
Production wise it was incredible. Bravo to the UFC.
You may hate Danna all you want but this man gave us live entertainment like no other. He is a great CEO.
maybe back in the day but this dude hates his champs.
Well maybe not hate but he very rarely promotes his other champions WHO ARE FUCKING ACTIVE. Instead he spends time trying to convince us that jon vs stipe is the fight everyone wants to see when there's an active champ in the division. He also refuses to give Islam his deserved pfp 1.
Ya he’s awesome
Sphere show itself su ked, couple a great fights but nothing spectacular, I love seeing jerks get humbled like this. The storey was really dumb Dana.
Great entertainment with boring ass fights. 😂
Stage over Performance? I’ll never buy into that garbage
When O'Malley started his walk and he hit that arena.. you can see it in his face that it was very overwhelming. When he got to the cage it looked like he tried to embrace it and closed his eyes rather quickly. I think the pressure got to him. (Merabs pressure haha)
I noticed that as well. He came out calm for a second, but he looked up and was zapped into the reality of the situation.
He was a cocky queen. Merab's entrance was happy and greeting everyone
Stupid fight , $uga Sean can’t even outstrike a wrestler 😂
I mean most of merabs strikes were when he was on top of o malleu
Now its time for OM to start training his ground game 6 days a week instead of once
Main card didn’t really deliver but the production at the sphere, even watching at home was amazing. They need to do it for American independence for sure.
Be sweet to see a hologram of James Brown performing 'Living in America'
“Hopefully they turned off before the co-main event, and they’re big fans now.” Damn. Truth can be dealt with head on, lies are stabbed in the back.
What do you mean ?
DANA - Hey guys just Wana let you know what a fuck up this was
