“It’s awesome.” The head of the UFC praised the founder of the ACA for the disqualification of fighters due to passivity in the octagon

UFC President Dana White at a press conference reacted to the act of ACA founder Mairbek Khasiev, who stopped the fight of the ¼ finals of the Grand Prix in lightweight between Ali Bagov and Rashid Magomedov due to the passive course of the fight.

After the fight was stopped, Khasiev entered the octagon and addressed the fans, saying that a fight of such a low level did not correspond to the league, which he considers the second in the world. The duel was declared invalid.

– At the end of last week, the ASA promoter entered the octagon and stopped the fight because it was boring …

– What? What happened? Who did it?

– The ACA promoter came into the cage in the middle of the fight and stopped it because it was boring. Disqualified both fighters.

– This is freaking cool! Props to this guy. Unbelievable and highly unprofessional, but at the same time just fucking awesome! Was it really such a boring fight?

– I think yes.

This gave me some ideas for next Tuesday. There are days when I want to throw a chair into the octagon, but you have to accept it. Or get up and go to your office. Although it would be worth doing what this guy from the ACA did.

Bagov was on a three win streak and hasn’t lost since September 2020. Magomedov has 25 wins with six defeats.
