‘They’re Fighting in the Stands!’- Daniel Cormier Interrupts UFC 262 Commentary as Fans Start a Brawl in the Stands
Follow Us
The UFC was the first promotion to put on live sports way back last year when the pandemic was raging. Although it received a lot of criticism, Dana White and his team marched forward and continued to entertain the fans as they held events at the UFC Apex and Fight Island in Abu Dhabi.
However, fights at the UFC Apex or Fight Island with no fans always felt incomplete. Just as they were the first to put on live events during the pandemic, White stated that they would be the first to welcome back fans to an event in full capacity. The UFC did just that at UFC 261 in Jacksonville. UFC 262 in Houston was the second event to have a full capacity crowd, where things got just a bit heated.

While the fight was going on, Daniel Cormier interrupted commentary to comment on an all-out brawl going in the stands. In the video, UFC fans saw spectators in attendance brawling each other as security tried to pull them apart.
