WATCH: “Calm dude was the animal”

UFC 302 didn’t live up to expectations. Even though some of the fights on the PPV card were exciting, the prelims and early prelims produced a single finish. However, a nosebleed fight at the venue was more exciting. Even the controversial Dillon Danis thought so.

Just before Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier walked out for the main event fight, fans had an altercation in the nosebleeds. A verbal altercation turned into a violent physical altercation, with men falling from the top seats to the bottom seats. People heard in the video claimed the fight was the best of the night.

In the viral video, a man with a ponytail shouted at another man below, challenging him to slap him. The man was hesitant at first, but after the constant bickering of the ponytail man, he slapped him. He followed the slap with violent punches against the ponytail man. It surprised the people nearby as the ponytail man looked bigger than the other man.

The fight created absolute chaos as the fight descended downward like an avalanche. People nearby de-escalated the fight, but the damage was done. Nevertheless, fight fans at the nosebleed experienced seeing a good battle before Makhachev and Poirier entertained them with an almost five-round war.

Before the main event fight between Islam Makachev and Dustin Poirier, fight fans might have felt disappointment, particularly as the co-main event was boring. In the co-main event, Sean Strickland defeated Paulo Costa, with Costa backpedaling throughout the fight.
