I hate the atmosphere in saudi arabia it felt like a fight night at the apex. No energy
no alcohol. no women.
@@cchia6640money over everything
Lol answered your own question @@cchia6640
no alcohol is good for your health,
you want to see women fights than men fights ? @@cchia6640
Cuz no good fights khamzat pulled out
Man looks like he's about to burst into tears every time McGregor is mentioned 😂😂
Not at all, you must be projecting soyboy
Soccer sucks btw
@@corvofalcone7489 cry 🤣🤣🤣
And biggest (for a reason) and best sport itw lil bro
Edit: see I triggered a lot of people with this reply. Facts don't care about your feelings, cope harder 😂
He’s hiding something for sure just like when Colby got the title shot to drop the charges on Jorge
@davidtawse6765 it's the "biggest" sport in the world because it's the only sport people in 3rd world countries can afford to play 😂
That wasn't a good crowd at all
They were so dead
Worse than Brazilian crowd
There are no women, what do u expect. Abunch of muslims who wont drink. Awesome to see whittaker ko their boy
More people there than the boxing matches
@@joneconomidis2125 lol no shot. Even davis vs martins was packed, did you watch that fight? Mgm sold out
Shara getting a bonus after that fence grab is a joke.
Hey it's the middle east
After the performance in general. There’s not a lot there
Extremely biased
@@matt4393 the opponent was paid, just stand there to be hit
Had literally 0 effect on the fight outcome
The only time the crowd erupted was when a goat briefly flashed on screen
U mustve missed the Whittaker KO
Excellent fkn song btw
The Reeper made them put some respect on his name
😂
That goat was your mom
Love that Lima got the 50k, a life changing amount of money for the lad, cant wait for his next fight.
After tax more like 30k
Lima is FOR REAL
50k is not life changing
MVP of the night for sure
@@cheatingscoobydoohow is it not?
Just realized women weren’t allowed in the arena 😂
Yet they force womens mma on the west
U shouldn’t be allowed either with that spelling
Why am I not surprised that a UFC fan can't spell allowed right
There was one in the crowd
I guess ESPN and the rest corporations and sponsors involved with UFC didn't want to preach their DEI crap over there.
Worst crowd...or maybe i can say where was the crowd 😂
Real fight fans don’t watch ufc for a bunch of drunk white men screaming. Who never threw a punch of kick in their life. You might be watching for the wrong reasons homie
it’s cus no alcohol is aloud, so they not nearly as hyped as the americans
- @gremmlyn33 . Also no women. And if they allowed a few women there, they couldn't cheer without their husband's permission. Otherwise the women could be beaten.

Me when i make up lies on the internet
Saudi and Abu Dhabi cards are booty.
pancake booty
Better than Brazil cards where they boo their own champions
Why?
Yup. Goat booty
The cards are great, the crowds are booty. And really, it's just this one in Saudi. Lot of money over there but entertainment wise, the crowd seemed to not really give af
Dana looked uncomfortable at this press conference. I'm not trying to look into it too deep, but he swayed from his usual banter we are used to seeing at the post press conferences lol.
He’s on Modafinil
Can't cuss and he is probably jet lag
No powder over Saudi 💯
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Banter, Dana? This is him
All respect to Ikram but he did have a full camp I don’t want any excuses from his fans
Two weight cuts in a short amount of time (along with probable jet lag from being in Vegas a week before this fight while Whitaker was in Saudi Arabia for awhile) isn’t exactly an invalid excuse but Ikram had to take the risk and he came up short unfortunately.
I don’t think losing a short notice fight against one of the best middleweights on the planet as an unranked fighter takes anything away from his stock though. I’m sure he’ll only get better from here on out.
@@redhothchilipeppers6299he didn't cut two times. He did interviews last few days and he said that he was at the beginning to start cuttong but got the call so it stopped. No excuses.
But he did lose to one of the best MWs of all time so no shame in that.
I agree, he took on one of the best middle weights ever to do it. He has a bright future.
Excuses, excuses.... hes just not as good as robert. How about that?@redhothchilipeppers6299
No excuses. Rob is a beast
lol the translator translating English to English
its because Dana cant hear well.
Danas half deaf
Bilingual lol
i was searching for that comment🤣
Broken English to English
Dana ain't fully convinced on turki
Yeah, normally when he talks about abu Dhabi he is praising it to the skies, not the same now with Saudi Arabia
Because Turki is straight up and to the point, Dana is a conman thief
You can tell he knows its image laundering and all part of agenda 2030 to destabilise the west , saudi government are tyrants
Dana gets annoyed when his not the biggest guy in the room. Turki putting on big boxing shows while zuffa boxing went nowhere
Yes because dana white is a physcopath and hates somebody being more powerful than him in the room
If this had Ring Girls then Johnie Walker would fight better
Lol
If it had ring goats Ikram would've performed better 😂
@@christophergallagher3845in lacy thongs...😆🤣😂
ring girls are useless but definitely needed a real crowd there
@@Rowsy91 I wouldn't say useless. I can definitely think of a few things I could use them for
These reporters has the most boring questions ever
Which reporters??😂
Ask interesting questions and you don't get to ask a question ever again
they are all so openly scared of Dana.
That one question about khamzat fighting ikrim next😂😂what goes through the mind of a Muslim just puzzles me sometimes
@@user-dd7pq2to3o i couldn’t agree more
so sick and tired of hearing "conors not ready" like bruh. beating a dead horse at this point. guy wasted the rest of his prime years. dude will never be what he once was.
Conor: "Just a small toe injury, a few weeks and i will be back"
Dana: "I dont think about Conor fighting anybody right now." "No sense to plan for anything, August September.."
Does not look good.
Interestingly he said when conor is healthy, not injury free. Suggests he must be continuing fail drug tests.
do math. his fracture heals in 5 weeks on average. begins training camp again. 10 -12 weeks. can you add 10 + 5/6? = august - september. su
@@Hooky66yep this isn’t about a toe
Nope not about a toe
He’s in the testing pool lol. If he failed a drug test we would know about it. This is about a toe
Nasrat vs Jared Gordon not getting a bonus is a joke

Yeh cuz a 36 year old aged Conor Mcgregor who’s won 1 fight in almost 10 years is really the man to watch.
And that win was against an old cowboy
Yeah😭 even old Connor brings in more numbers than anyone else in the ufc.
whittaker is 33. mcgregor 35. su
All of that and you'll tune in to watch him anyway
@@Milk-vw1cvyeah tune in to watch in him get sparked out 😅
“Connors not worth talking about yet”…. Dana talked everyday about him for the last 3 years though 😂😂
Probably because he’s been asked about him everyday for the last 3 years
He doesn't talk about him though
Disliked clown
Ppl need to stop talking about conor, dudes cried wolf too many times to take him seriously
So if Conor has a toe injury we can't even mention him fighting till he heals, but when Drickus turned down the Izzy fight for having the same injury he was ridiculed for throwing away opportunities... Come on now
Are you really comparing Drickus and Conor🤣 Bro, dude kisses his coach on the lips🤣🤣
@@allu1726 that's not the point smart ass .. he's an athlete that puts his life on the line like everyone else and should also be allowed to heal
I think they saw the conor vs islam fight at the sphere, and thought yea… thats gonna sell Way more 🤑
@@allu1726you're right Conor is nowhere near the title picture in any division. Dricus is the best 85er in the world. Can't even compare them
@@allu1726put Dricus and Conor in a room and see who walks out.
- UFC in Saudi Arabia. That explains why no women were fighting on the card.
But no ring girl eye candy either, it's a fair trade for no wmma.
@@Deltron6060agreed unfortunately…15 minute boring, uncoordinated, unskilled decision stinkers…I’m good on that
@@SouthpawSparky_like what we saw from many of the fights yesterday?
Sounds like you were beat up by a girl growing up and haven't gotten over it
UFC should never go back to saudi bruh no ring girls ???? Wack 😂😂😢😢
If Saudi Arabia won’t let women fight then they should never host events there. Dana prides himself on his morals, where are they now?
Time for Mike to just move on
ppls believing in Conor return are just delusional at this point
Said every person since 2016. You guys so far are 0-4 in saying Conor will never fight again
Honestly it's you haters that sound like you're hoping he doesn't return, then when he inevitably does yall get drunk and cry and check your streams to make sure he loses lmao buns he lives in your heads more than your own families 🤡🤡🤡
@@corvofalcone7489Damn bro it's almost like this fight has been booked like 3 times
@@imagineumnomefoda500 it might feel that way but the fight has only been booked once.
Just wanna see him retire off a win
Clearly Dana White did not enjoy Riyadh as much as he enjoys Dubai.
He lost a fanfavorite name on this card. He wanted to make a huge start in Saudi but got screwed. It was a big disappointment for the UFC and the crowd.
Zuckerberg vs. Musk 😂😂😂
Can't wait for uncle Dana to put that fight together
1:35
Bless u
Cheers 👌
Thanks mate
Top G.
Thanks
I would watch the MFC
Migrant Fighting Championship lol
Donald trumps wife would headline the event
If you are organising that kind of shit, you have to do the HillBilly/Redneck Fighting League Bryce Mitchell would be undisputed.
Illegal ones and the winner gets citizenship
Did any of the journalists get dismembered with a band saw in the bathroom though?
That trump line 😂 Dana didn’t see that question coming
MAGA 2024
Not a single female fight and it was great!!!
As bad as womens MMA fights can be don't lie and say there wasn't some absolute snoozefest mens fights today...They were just as bad.
What about the ring girls? They’re nice to look at.
Who cares
@@abdullahalhadi8473all the normal straight males care!
And the card was lack luster as hell so not a great example that MMA is better without them.
Dana and Hunter Campbell really dropped the ball on Chandler. Dude has sat out 2 full calendar years and has nothing to show for it. You know Conor has been a part-time fighter over the past 6 years. Should have given Chandler other options.
IT was Chandlers decision. Nobody to blame but himself
@@achilles8936 ... even in the event if it was Chandlers decision, you got to save a fighter from themselves. Especially if you know that your biggest box office attraction has problems making his way to the fight.
Who cares chandler not touching the belt anyway, he could fight 5 times and still get paid less in total than from one mcbum fight
Chandler wants to sit out because he has the potential to earn upto £5million from the Conor fight. He needs to fight 10 times to earn that.
@@garyoliver739 exactly plus it was is idea and decision to wait for Connor
“Shiek turkey” 😂😂😂love how dana said that
*Strickland vs Bobby Knuckles*
No.......... Strickland vs winner of izzy, dricus
@@CeBmeoh another fan of top contenders squatting on their spot and sitting out 6 months 🤨
That fight should be put on the Perth card.
@@iceKOId It's not what he's saying he's a fan of. It's what Sean says he's going to do after his last fight.
@@Danielson1818if it’s not what he’s saying why did he write no…?
Rob is looking ready to beat Strickland and Izzy in the same night
You mean the guy hes 0-2 against, and the guy who beat Izzy very clearly?
He fought an unranked guy. I think he loses to DDP but beats IZZY in rematch
He fought a guy who fought warley Alves in his last fight. Chill
The crowd was fucking dead, a bunch of rich arab guys with no passion or entuziasm for the game, events in the middle east are wack as fuck, but Dana loves that money, and at least the fighters get paid good.
It’s because they dont get drunk and are more reserved. Western country fans let loose and get drunk at ufc events, it’s not rocket science
@@bullfighter42lmao at Muslim not getting drunk, go look up any footage of rich people Dubai party and you'll see a bunch of scarf headed middle aged dude downing alcohol and creeping on younger girls 😂
@@OnlyTheStrongest116 most of them are a bunch of weirdos portraying to be saints and hiding behind their religion.
Just a sea of tea towels
yep its gonna be sad if there are more and more of these cards just cause of their unlimited $$$ in Saudi
Shara 50k for fighting a human punching bag and cheating because the bag put up resistance... nice
Cry about it more luigi
Religious bonus
I really fucking don't wanna hear about this anymore. Its gonna last over and over again. He is done as fighter
You’ll see him back two more times for sure. He 100% wants to go do celebrity boxing after his ufc contract is fulfilled
The English to English translation was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣
This whole boxing/MMA needs to stop going to the Saudi and UAE. The energy in the stadium is so low. Having fights without alcohol for the crowd is the main reason
Bro Saudi is the reason that boxing is trying to heel and they give dream fights
Boxing has been great. You’re a 🤡
Only thing the Arabs bring is more money. I can’t stand you mma fanboys always mentioning Boxing in every mma video. *
😂 I come to watch the fights not a bunch of drunks shouting USA
There's no alchohol allowed in scottish football yet celtic in champions league produce some of the best atmospheres players ever experience
How’d they give bullet a bonus for that?
People that still care about Conor are poor unfortunate souls
Yet you still leaving comments about Conor 🤡
Kelvin vs Drod should've been FOTN IMO
Kelvin?? Nope, not with that weight cut. Dana hates that stuff, and he's in charge of the bonus checks.
Dope fight, Dana loves his Mexican vs Mexican matchups
Who in the world would buy pov for power slap
crowd looked like half of the saudi’s were missing.. oh wait
They like boxing a lot more than MMA
They suck
the crowd sucked and the reporters were even worse, just a dump of a country all round
@@Last_Chance.They were missing because of Khamzat not being there
The wives and girlfriend seats were all empty . They're not allowed 😂
Cutting weight twice within one month is not smartest thingg to do before fighting against whittaker
So Shara got a bonus for grabbing the fence. Hmmm....interesting!
his opponent grabbed it twice.. he got a bonus for finishing the dude. lmfao cry harder
Religious bonus to appease the crowd
these journalists are absolute garbage. the amount of conor questions on top of the SAME conor questions. sports journalism is the worst in the world and this presser shows an example of it
They're all shills , Dana marks up journalist list and tells them who is and isn't allowed the mic
@@christophergallagher3845 i know for a fact that anyone is allowed up there along with credentials. there are a few, "journalists," who are no longer allowed because they ask disrespectful and instigating questions that really nobody cares about. like ariel for example. dude is the definition of the word clown. he lies to his fans and brainwashes them to believe in what he says....marks. ive known someone personally go up and ask a question once, but he also asked something dumb and got mocked for it. they are all just terrible. end of story. no "shills" no dana mark ups or downs...they flat out would suck no matter what
Good to know the MMA "journalists" over there are just as trash as the ones we have in the states, asking the same question over and over again.... WHAT IS WITH these "journalists" and their inability to ask anything beyond the same like three questions
They scared to get Helwani
@@patatrick2519I think you’re right, ask tough questions (especially to Dana) and they’ll just get blacklisted… At least MacLife asks some funny & unique questions of the fighters, gives some banter to Dana.
If they ask bad question they go missing 😂
Sanko, Olivi, and "Minty" Wang got the night off 😂😂😂😂😊
If I was a fighter nothing about that crowd would excite me at all, they were booing when the fights were not boring or bad whatsoever, didn’t feel like they had much energy either
Bro we need Mcgregor in the sphere!!!
NO....
Was i the only one who missed the apex last night ?
Whittaker needs to get the title shot again. One of the best to ever do it.
Anticipating this one!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust.
Shut up no one knows what you’re on about.
Shut up and make a tuna sandwich kid
Ain’t nobody care about that cholo shite mane.
FIRE COMMENT
You just copy and paste this comment from all the other videos?
He didn't brag about the attendance or the gate so I guess it didn't do well
Gonna be hilarious if chandler ko’s conor
He will. I'm 100% sure of this
It's gonna be a scary ko
Conor isn't durable
They'll never fight...
They won't ever fight
Bro not fighting again
Bro is* learn English kid
Chandler would beat him anyway so that would be his final fight
Why would he not fight? He's gonna make 40m + even if he gets KO in 10 seconds.
@@corvofalcone7489go outside and touch grass
@@corvofalcone7489 Uhh, it wouldn't be 'is', though, would it? It should be 'will'. 'Bro is not fighting again' only half makes sense. 'Bro will not fight again' is the correct sentence, or 'Bro won't fight again'.
Alternatively you could say 'Bro isn't going to fight again'. If you're going to correct someone's English, then do it right!
From conor taking the winner interview in bellator to take half the questions in this interview, THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING!

I’m thinking Conor has rubbed Dana the wrong way. Dana is not happy with the golden boy at the moment. He don’t even want to hear his name.
Hawk Tua needs its own competitive organization
Chandler is 6 feet from the edge thinking maybe 6 feet ain’t so far down 😢
Dana off the juice
I wish Conor the best of luck in rehab errr... with his toe, or whatever.
Page Vanzant going over to PowerSlap is hilarious - Of course that was going to happen.

This happens in every press conference when Dana said he’s not ready to talk about certain fighter because they are not ready. The reporters always going to ask Dana about that fighter that Dana does not want to talk about
This got straight to the point without all the gate stats and records.
Khazmat 'no show' Chimaev VS Conor 'Running For His Fooking Life' McGregor this October in Neverland? Got it, can't wait
@TheMacLife Oscar! How can we vote for you as journalist of the year? I’m a huge fan of your content and Ariel Helwani, but with that said, you’ve been original, daring as well as entertaining. I believe your exceptional work is worth recognition.
“We’ll try” 😂
Let us hope for a future where human rights in Saudi Arabia are respected and improved.
Hahahaha he stubbed his toe when falling out of the irsh forge pub after a 4 day Pablo session
First time I think we’ve seen Dana stand on business about Connor. Usually he tip toes around the questions to seemingly not oiss him off, but he pretty much said “nah Connor been fucking up too much for me to take him serious.”
He never said that he is disappointed with khamzat missing weight
Alex is smart. He is fighting out his contract and then he can renegotiate a bigger contract after all he has accomplished. Wise man.
Dana will do anything for money. His knees are quite bruised.
Whats the problem exactly? Youd rather not have a card to watch or what
@@stepupyourgame9510ikr some people just comment without thinking. Oh Let me trash Dana. No buddy you just exposed yourself.

For October vs Makachev I guess.?
Great questions
