An MMA fighter puked near the UFC Fight Pass logo in the cage—twice.
UFC Abu Dhabi went down on Saturday but this weekend’s fights weren’t over just yet.
Fury Challenger Series 14 took place on Sunday night from Houston, Texas, featuring the MMA return of former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir’s 22-year-old daughter Bella Mir.
After three years away, Mir won her fight against Stephanie Calderon via kimura submission.
The cage had to be wiped clean before Mir stepped in, as the fight prior ended with a whole lot of throw up on the canvas.
Shahriar Zolfaghari throws up twice after fighting 3 rounds on UFC Fight Pass
Iranian fighter Shahriar Zolfaghari took on an undefeated Sean Kennard in a middleweight matchup on the Fury FC main card, which streamed live on UFC Fight Pass.
Zolfaghari went the full 15-minute distance with Kennard in a grueling fight.
As the fighters waited on the official decision, Zolfaghari threw up once in the cage and walked it off, before throwing up again in a different spot in the cage.
“I guess he gave it all,” one of the commentators said after Zolfaghari puked.
Zolfaghari ultimately got his hand raised by split decision while the cage crew cleaned up his puke in the background.
Paddy Pimblett threw up in the cage before he was a UFC star
Before Zolfaghari, there was Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett puking his guts out.
The young Pimblett fought under the Cage Warriors banner for the majority of his pre-UFC career, going 11-3 in the promotion.
Pimblett threw up on the canvas in the middle of his post-fight interview after a five-round decision win over Julian Erosa in 2016.
Pimblett’s puke looked like blood, but it wasn’t—actually, it was hot chocolate and Ferrero Rocher he had consumed before (via The Sun).
