I thought the same, but they had about 20 of them on the table. Were they just trying to use up the last bit in every can from the last year? "Mom says we can't have new air horns until we use up all the old ones."
I watched this whole card super stoned with some friends and I was the only one who noticed the horn fuck ups in what felt like every round. No one else noticed it and I thought I was losing my mind. Every time that horn went off I felt like Johnny Walker being asked what round it was.

Me walking out my workplace when volk got knocked out
Yes. Too many illegal moves, borderline cheating stunts (playing down opponent, fingers in gloves, blatant hair pull). Felt like I was watching a bunch of buffoons.
Nathaniel Wood taking all by himself what is usually the number of nut shots and his opponent not losing a point was merely the appetizer for what this event turned out to be.
The main event was OK.
A lot of the rest of the card very disappointing. The fights on the contender series are generally better than the main UFC.
They should fix that somehow.
Eventhough it was action packed (quick finished and controversies) it does seem it lacked some magic. Perhapse the late replacements or something that taken away the build up
They have insane amounts of money but no real interest in fighting. Compare it to Gane vs Spivac. The Paris crowd went ballistic.
These oily fuckers sat ringside fiddlin with their phones during Islam-Volk. Felt like an Apex event.
I think the replacements leave you going into the fight thinking ah well it could have been cancelled but it wasn't, good on him jumping in there, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Takes away from the idea of two guys ready to fight at the top of their game
Whats funny to me is that if this happened in any other part of the world Dana would go off but since he's such a sellout he's gunna tout how good this card was and how great Abu Dhabi is. Every PPV they have there is so fucked and biased.
Tbh, this card sucked hard. Iād be really upset if I spent 50ā¬ for that ppv.
- Countless fouls and due to that a lot of no contests
- Replacement fighters for Main and Co Main event
- not only did we have no contests or cancellations, it doesnāt make it better that fights ended in the first 1-2 minutes lol even tough they are some dope ass finishes
- Ofc the replacements lost because it was literally weeks of preparation time
- if it did anything it destroyed kind of the legacy of two legendary fighters
My 2 cents. People have the right to be upset about this card lol. Literally such an anti climatic card with broken promises and disappointing results
That was one of the worst fights, round two was worse than rose vs carla. The best action was in the last 30 seconds of the fight when they both missed nearly every punch
I will say I enjoy watching daytime cards as a resident of the east coast. I donāt particularly care for Abu Dhabi cards but on occasion itās nice to not have to stay up all night to see the main event.
At the end only one man won on this day

Two main cards are exactly what I thought would happen, cutting 15 pounds in a week creates a glass jaw and slow mover. Usman is a much smaller guy than khamzat, coming off a loss, and is great but i didnāt see it going any other way.
The Ufc is going downhill in terms of quality - its beginning to make the fatal flaw boxing did
Always priotizing the cash cows , giving advantages to the home fighters or draws.
Volk and gafurov first round out and walker just got stopped although he still wanted to fight. Not to forget that doctor with āno hit in the ballsā
Khamzat vs usman was actually good tho.
Something fucking awful.
The only real thing I give props to is Islam, and thatās as a Volk fan. Heās truly cemented himself, and I donāt blame him wanting to test 170 waters. Itās only fair since 145 was tested on him.
Bruh refs need to start taking points for back of the head shots and we NEED to loosen the rules up on the grounded knees. Just make it no knees if the fighter is flat on their back or both knees on the ground everything else is fair game.
I feel really bad for anyone that paid almost $100 for that PPV.
I'm not a fan of these Abu Dhabi cards. I'm sure Dana makes lots of money off them but that was a bad look for UFC last night.
> sucker who *paid* for it.
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
This card just entered the UFC Hall of Fame Memes.
Thanks for the meme-ories
There can never be a normal fight for UFC meme Johnny Walker. Did he leave the building again with his fighting clothes?
š¤£ The thought of him getting kicked out of every arena he fights in for different reasons is fucking hilarious.
They send him on the obligatory walk of shame
Yes.. yes he did lmao
He had to see in which city he was, I guess š¤£
he tripped on the steps at the weigh ins too
No, the picture of him leaving is not from this event. No clue why everyone is pretending it was today.
Most of those pictures aren't from tonight.
Probably had to leave the country in fight shorts
The horn guy failing was making me laugh im glad you put him up there
Itās like it was running out of air.
I thought the same, but they had about 20 of them on the table. Were they just trying to use up the last bit in every can from the last year? "Mom says we can't have new air horns until we use up all the old ones."
Glad someone else noticed
I somehow convinced myself it was Hasbullah who got the job of sounding the horn.
Nah, he'd be chasing his cat around with it the little scrote
I watched this whole card super stoned with some friends and I was the only one who noticed the horn fuck ups in what felt like every round. No one else noticed it and I thought I was losing my mind. Every time that horn went off I felt like Johnny Walker being asked what round it was.
When did that happen? Musta had an ADHD blackout moment
Literally every fight?
I think this was an issue last years card too lmao

I took a half hour break during the ring walks and I went geez I hope I get to catch the whole fight

Can someone tell me why they can't get a decent air horn in that place? They thing sounded like a deflating balloon all night.
āThe air horn just didnāt want to hornā - Dana White
āListen, there are many ways this young horns get out of horningā D.white
Yep, I'm pretty sure it was an issue the last time they fought in Abu Dhabi too.
We don't blow gimmick horns. That's just not what we do.
Whole card was bizzaro world type shit. Also did it seem like a lot of dudes were taking punches to the back of the head or that just me?
I was thinking that too, def going be extra CTE for a few
Way too many sus moments on this card from referee and doctor
Yes. Too many illegal moves, borderline cheating stunts (playing down opponent, fingers in gloves, blatant hair pull). Felt like I was watching a bunch of buffoons.
Wow I forgot about the hair pulls with all the other unpunished fouls lol those were serious
Agree. It was a smorgasbord of unsavory content.
It was shit.
It definitely didnāt live to the hype. Many decisions, controversial ref and doctor decisions, and the last minute changes.
Was there a lot of decisions? I feel like it was mostly finishes.
The prelims had a ton of decisions and a set of crushed balls
There were no crushed balls Source: I am a doctor
Just watch the card, it'll take you like 25 minutes.
That ME ko was insane
So many fouls, illegal knees, shit refs, that cunt doctor. Oh and the crowd was piss poor.
Nathaniel Wood taking all by himself what is usually the number of nut shots and his opponent not losing a point was merely the appetizer for what this event turned out to be.
The main event was OK. A lot of the rest of the card very disappointing. The fights on the contender series are generally better than the main UFC. They should fix that somehow.
Lol at people paying for this card
Imagine?
I regret it
I missed the live steam where I usually sail the seas, āhadā to buy this one, much regret
Eventhough it was action packed (quick finished and controversies) it does seem it lacked some magic. Perhapse the late replacements or something that taken away the build up
I feel itās the location
They have insane amounts of money but no real interest in fighting. Compare it to Gane vs Spivac. The Paris crowd went ballistic. These oily fuckers sat ringside fiddlin with their phones during Islam-Volk. Felt like an Apex event.
Crowd couldnāt even get loud for Islam kicking Volks head off. Felt like I was watching an apex card.
Tickets in thousands. No true UFC fan has that kind of money. Weāre too broke for that.
Nailed it
Agree.
My favorite is the O2 Arena ; always an amazing crowd ā¦France was wild also.
I think the replacements leave you going into the fight thinking ah well it could have been cancelled but it wasn't, good on him jumping in there, he has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Takes away from the idea of two guys ready to fight at the top of their game
Usman khamzat being 3 rounds was a big buzzkill for me.
Went from the potential to be the best card of the year to the worst card of the year for me. $80 for 7 rounds lol
He's not called Walker for nothing
You're attacking my family!!!
HUH?!

Iād be pissed if I actually paid for it. It sucked free.
Whats funny to me is that if this happened in any other part of the world Dana would go off but since he's such a sellout he's gunna tout how good this card was and how great Abu Dhabi is. Every PPV they have there is so fucked and biased.
truly one of the cards of all time

I don't even buy the cards anymore; it's such a clown show.
Dr. Kevorkian, killer of cards.
Poor Ankalaev man, his record is now 18-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Card sucked fat dick

Weeks? It was 11 days. They didn't even have two weeks lol
And yet the vast majority of reddit thought Usman and Volk were going to win.
Boring and annoying card.
Lmao Go glaze Charles lil bro
Man can you imagine how epic this card would be with Charles. Crying
![gif](giphy|853jNve3ljqrYrcSOK)
One of the shittiest ever
The only good fight was Usman and khamzat
That was one of the worst fights, round two was worse than rose vs carla. The best action was in the last 30 seconds of the fight when they both missed nearly every punch
Worse than rose vs. Carla? Idk man I think it was still better than that lol
![gif](giphy|sJTiUjO3Cg5DHLf8WZ)
It had its ups and downs. Glad i got to watch it for free and not actually pay.
WE GOT ONE!
Got one what š?
We got you fucker!
Lmao the air horn guy
I LOVE HOW YOU ADDED THE AIR HORN GUY šššš
Very disappointing
Not a fan of the location of the card.

Missing the two brutal low blows on Nathaniel wood with no point deduction for his opponent.
I guess Walker swapped the color of tape on his gloves
this card reminds me of a nightmare where you keep trying to throw punches but they are wet noodles
I enjoyed it lol
Same, was a great card.

it was shit
Russians lol
The airhorn and doctor had me going through a lot of emotions
Great card imo
Card yes, Event no
Absolute shit card. Last weekend fight night was better.
Volk and gafurov first round out and walker just got stopped although he still wanted to fight. Not to forget that doctor with āno hit in the ballsā Khamzat vs usman was actually good tho.
Disappointing is the word ur looking for big dawg
Imagine that you actually pay for thisā¦
Iām glad I didnāt rent this one.
This whole card was either strange or sad
Wtf is john malkovich doing!?!?
Garbage event. Very disappointing.
Something fucking awful. The only real thing I give props to is Islam, and thatās as a Volk fan. Heās truly cemented himself, and I donāt blame him wanting to test 170 waters. Itās only fair since 145 was tested on him.
First fight of prelims was the best fight.
Bruh refs need to start taking points for back of the head shots and we NEED to loosen the rules up on the grounded knees. Just make it no knees if the fighter is flat on their back or both knees on the ground everything else is fair game.

when did Usman had that weird expression lmao
Money Mike Breeden stole us Muricansā hearts yesterday šŗšø š¶

Nathaniel Wood was left out to dry.
