Seems like a totally different person. He’s not even witty anymore, just aggressive. He used to tear people up in ways that were so difficult to respond to.
It’s so funny when people were shitting on khabib when he said they’re irrelevant, they were saying shit like “it’s essential, it adds to the presentation” 😂😂
I had to convince my wife that ring girls were important to the culture of competitive fighting lol. I mean they are part of the history of it.
BTW I watched a tough man thing on youtube recently, some ole local girls getting pretty wild shaking their cheeks on that one lol. It made UFCs girls seem pretty classy
Edit: pretty sure this was the competition

Bro you dont fucking know, these ring girls get PAID.
Tinfoil time: Makes me think the UFC withholds the fighters income so they keep fighting. Watch how money made conor so inactive, I mean he wants to come back yes... well yknow but like for other fighters the UFC wants to make them NEEDD to fight unlike boxing
I mean, when your passion and livelihood is fighting, even if you enjoy it, are passionate about it, it's still getting punched in the head for a living. Like, if given an out, you will probably take it. lol I like my job, but if I won the lottery I would bounce IMMEDIATELY.
He’s not wrong but it’s also a tradition in combats sports. The problem with Khabib is that he doesn’t want to continue tradition unless it ties with his religion.
It’s his choice to do whatever he pleases with his promotion. However, it’s also the UFC’s choice to have ring girls.
Shit why do they have cheerleaders in football? Don’t they know their cheers are irrelevant to the teams performance? Guess we should nix those too because EVERYONE is so offended and distracted from the game by 8 girls dancing in a corner.
He wasn't an American citizen. He was a long-term resident. He was still Saudi Arabian which is how they managed to do what they did and why he needed to go to the Saudi consulate in the first place.
Can you imagine the shit storm that would have happened if this happened in an American embassy?
You know what I did notice? No shitty WMMA on the main card, I’m all for it. More of that instead of forcefully shoving a women’s fight of a big events main card or a $100 ppv like the one next weekend.
Isn't it like that everywhere.. I mean real fans sit at the back. Who would pay $50,000 just to sit in front and get blood and sweat thrown at you. It's all for attention and status
im saudi myself and ive went to all boxing events happened here, and you're 100% right, most of the people there don't know shit about combat and go there because its an unusual event, i was sitting in vip for 5V5 boxing event, and next to me was a group of 5 women who were dissecting the fights in the most wrong way possible, one NICE LADY had the audacity to say "i think the black guy is winning" reffering to wildler while he is getting fckd by zhang.
Lack of half naked women filled with plastic just to be stared at by thirsty men (which is literally objectification, but people don’t want to complain about that) is artificial?
Also let’s be real here, women here in the west have been convinced being naked is the only way they can express freedom and feel empowered, where her character no longer matters, *that* is real objectification.
I’m no feminist, and I live in the west.
I'm not going to lie dude. When I was a young man and we had things such as Playboy/Penthouse magazines that would come with interviews of the women that were being photographed I'd always be puzzled because they would literally say that...I'm free and empowered and I'd be like, "You know you're catering to a male audience, right? Like the power still resides with the men here."
"Objectification" only seems to be an issue for modern western society if the woman doesn't do it to herself, despite providing the same content the 'objectifiers' crave. It's a ridiculous double standard.
'Objectification is bad' and 'sex work is real work' cannot both be true.
yeah no disrespect to their religion but seeing the same one guy in the audience makes it look like they’re copy+pasted background characters for an indie video game
the average Joe isn't going
Saudi is a conservative paradise, the rich and the people that get their crumbs from them looking down on millions and millions of poor
want a bear want a bikini? off with your head
oh you're rich? bikini coke parties with beer as long as the plebs don't find out and if you report it or hint at reporting it? off with your head
free speech Musk and Dana love those guys, they have the same values, rules for everyone but me
A lot of the princes are actually seriously into martial arts, they’re rich no doubt but they’re pumping more money into the sport and raising the quality, level and pay. Maybe not liking seeing Arab fans in the audience in traditional garb is a you issue and not them🤷♂️
Remove those chicks from the whole UFC setting and nothing substandard gets affected (apart from maybe Jon Anik having a chance to say Ariany Celeste opening the round or some shit like that). Ring girls just showcase the ancient backwards culture that surrounded our sport back in the days. I couldn’t give two shits about anyone holding a placard with the round number in between rounds. I am watching a fight and I definitely know what round it is. Get those broads out of here. Khabib was always right.
Works for me. Always annoyed me that these ring girls who get by in life by being beautiful get to share the stage with these warriors who have spent decades mastering their crafts
call it what you want, the ring girls are unnecessary overall.. but if they INISIST on keeping em, then keep em as actual ring girls. take em to the ppv's and have em do the rounds, but on weigh-ins??? seems kinda pointless.
it actually made sense with arianny celeste, but no girl after her has had that fame. so keep em home!
--
Rememeber when the one girl defended her value by saying she needs to work hard by posting selfies on social media and taking photos with fans? 🙄
I'm here for the fights, and I can see the round number thanks to the CG announcement graphics, I would never notice that they're gone.
I think it’s kind of funny that we can watch two men try and kill each other for sport but some T&A may be a bit to much to handle lol weird line to draw in the sand
I'm from that part of the world and I just never understood the obsession with it. I wouldn't want my mother or sister to do this demeaning job why would I wish it on other girls? If I want to watch hot girls I have the internet, it doesn't have to be forced into something not relevant.
My friend works for UFC’s social media team and I’ll see the various trips on instagram. It’s quite interesting to see the difference in outfit between working at an event in a Muslim nation vs anywhere else. Not a rag on Islam more just an observation.
I don't know anything about this, but I'm still going to make an ass of myself. They would only have ring girls in Saudi Arabia if they were stoned, not high, but to death.
I wonder if the fighters are going to get covered up too cause if two dudes in boxers briefs are fighting in SA...They will not live that long after getting arrested lol
Get Faber in there to shake that chin
Love the username btw
Far and away one of the funniest moments with Connor ever. Absolutely torched him
It was more of a funny jab, he absolutely torched who the hell is that guy guy.
Seems like a totally different person. He’s not even witty anymore, just aggressive. He used to tear people up in ways that were so difficult to respond to.
Faber? That 50-year old retired skateboarder guy?
I love how this isn’t even a joke anymore. Urijah Faber will be 50 in no time.
I mean other than that, literally every part of it is still and always will be a joke
Come on now, shake, that, chin for me boy, shake that chin for me, oh now shake, that, chin for me boy, shake that chin for me.
A dentist a menace..hygienist. i dont know the words. Open that mouth for bout 4 5 minutes
Crazy how an 8 year old insult still hits the same
😭😭
And no alcohol banners in the octagon
Hopefully no gambling ads and maybe they should do every card there.
Heartbreaking: the worst country you know just made a great point.
I know in formula 1 they get around the alcohol ban by simply promoting their 0% drinks
I watched the weight-ins, honestly I didn't even notice till now
It’s so funny when people were shitting on khabib when he said they’re irrelevant, they were saying shit like “it’s essential, it adds to the presentation” 😂😂
I had to convince my wife that ring girls were important to the culture of competitive fighting lol. I mean they are part of the history of it.

I'm guessing rough and rowdy lol They gotta work for the $500 ring girl prize, I dunno if they get paid otherwise
Bro you dont fucking know, these ring girls get PAID. Tinfoil time: Makes me think the UFC withholds the fighters income so they keep fighting. Watch how money made conor so inactive, I mean he wants to come back yes... well yknow but like for other fighters the UFC wants to make them NEEDD to fight unlike boxing
That’s not even tinfoil it’s just correct. With how quickly their biggest stars lose motivation/jump ship I don’t blame them sometimes.
I mean, when your passion and livelihood is fighting, even if you enjoy it, are passionate about it, it's still getting punched in the head for a living. Like, if given an out, you will probably take it. lol I like my job, but if I won the lottery I would bounce IMMEDIATELY.
He’s talking about rough n’rowdy ring girls, not ufc. I don’t think they get paid much.
Ah! Thank you, was trying to remember the trailer-park style tough man.
They are the most tame / most lame
You cannot be saying things like this without the link sir.
Added to original comment you animal lol
He’s not wrong but it’s also a tradition in combats sports. The problem with Khabib is that he doesn’t want to continue tradition unless it ties with his religion. It’s his choice to do whatever he pleases with his promotion. However, it’s also the UFC’s choice to have ring girls.
Tbh it's a pretty dumb tradition. Literally nothing would champ if they got rid of them
Shit why do they have cheerleaders in football? Don’t they know their cheers are irrelevant to the teams performance? Guess we should nix those too because EVERYONE is so offended and distracted from the game by 8 girls dancing in a corner.
Totally dude. Like why would you want pretty girls to look at when there’s half naked muscular men on stage. 😍
Exactly. I tune into this sport to satisfy my gay urges, not to look at some disgusting women.
They are, I love looking at Brookilyn Wren's awesome tits
That's how useless they are
Yeah, because you actually like watching mma Not the fucking shitshow UFC is becoming everywhere else

It's mostly window dressing, not nearly as wide-spread available as they make it seem. Source: I know people teaching over there.
I know people too and they said it feels like an awesome start. Source: i know people from my time working in the aviation sector
window dressing?
Superficial. Appears one way on the surface but not really true at the deeper level. Like something painted on a window. Window dressing.
ahhhhhh
Folks don't need to downvote someone sincerely asking for clarification, do they?
Uh would that be the same prince that chopped an American journalist into tiny pieces?
He wasn't an American citizen. He was a long-term resident. He was still Saudi Arabian which is how they managed to do what they did and why he needed to go to the Saudi consulate in the first place. Can you imagine the shit storm that would have happened if this happened in an American embassy?
Yikes

In F1 people said “it won’t be the same sport without grid girls” and then they got rid of grid girls and nobody noticed.
They have been banned in Australia too for years, but only like 8 people noticed.
Banned in what?
Nothing of value was missed
Nobody noticed because you see them for 40 seconds before a race that lasts 2 hours
alhamdhulillah
That's Haram brother
Khabib was right, they serve no purpose. Until this post, I didn't even notice that they weren't there.
They serve the purpose of being sexy hype women.
I mean, you remove the ring girls and it does make the whole event way more gay. Fans will have nothing to blame their erections on during the fights.
> Fans will have nothing to blame their erections on during the fights. There's still Dern.
 “Focus on the fight brother”
Made zero difference.
Honestly, who cares lol
Good —Khabib, (probably)
Obviously
Based
no ring girls, no women's fights and no alcohol served.
Who cares, just be grateful that we're getting some decent fights at least
*just be grateful we’re getting fights lol. This card has been massacred.
Good
How it should be
I dislike combat events in Saudi Arabia, feels so artificial. Filled w rich men w no souls
I agree with you on that. It feels like those guys aren't even fan of the sport and are just there for the status
Isn't it like that everywhere.. I mean real fans sit at the back. Who would pay $50,000 just to sit in front and get blood and sweat thrown at you. It's all for attention and status

brother, don't call our sisters 'bitch'.
The only B word you should call a woman is beautiful. Bitches love being called beautiful.
sorry that was really rude from me. thank for your comment
Their status and to sports wash their shitty global reputation.

Who cares? It's a fight event. If you want to sniff your own farts about political opinions there are millions of better outlets for that
Just because you like sucking the balls of the elite doesn’t mean the rest of us have to, you clown.
well put
Lol good way to put it
I hate saudi arabia, but as a european i‘m so happy to be able to watch it on a decent time
honestly as an american, a 9am start time is pretty cool- i love waking up to sports
You hate the government or the people?
The government
A lot of the princes are actually seriously into martial arts, they’re rich no doubt but they’re pumping more money into the sport and raising the quality, level and pay. Maybe not liking seeing Arab fans in the audience in traditional garb is a you issue and not them🤷♂️
And the west has its soul intact? Hah OKAY.
You could say the same about the apex
Huh ,I didnt even notice
And barely anyone noticed lol
Dude, honestly didn’t notice until seeing this post lol. Khabib had a point, they serve no purpose lol
damn bro thanks for telling me, i didnt notice!!!
Wow. Never thought I’d agree with their values. Better this way.
Redbar in the wild.
It may be a tradition but it’s a shit tradition that no one would miss
Based.
I feel so old I don't understand what this even means lol can you explain
Am i old? What the fuck does based mean
https://parade.com/living/based-meaning Gotta fkn google these things now to keep up with the youngins lol
how is no women based
Yeah, no shit.
It’s haram bratha, only smesh and train
Good, no reason to have them.
Remove those chicks from the whole UFC setting and nothing substandard gets affected (apart from maybe Jon Anik having a chance to say Ariany Celeste opening the round or some shit like that).

Ha gay
Did you expect ring girls in Saudi Arabia?
Literally unwatchable
Works for me. Always annoyed me that these ring girls who get by in life by being beautiful get to share the stage with these warriors who have spent decades mastering their crafts
Agreed, I’d rather they give their paychecks to the fighters.
Nope. They love just having a ton of dudes running around. Haram.
Great. The other venues should stop wasting money on them too.
call it what you want, the ring girls are unnecessary overall.. but if they INISIST on keeping em, then keep em as actual ring girls. take em to the ppv's and have em do the rounds, but on weigh-ins??? seems kinda pointless. it actually made sense with arianny celeste, but no girl after her has had that fame. so keep em home! --

Bobby might not feel like hardcore masturbating now
In other news water is wet
Are they necessary? No. Do we all want them? I mean…
There are no females anywhere and you are wondering where the half naked ones are lol
What a bunch of simps. Those critizicing it, I mean. If you care about a ring girl, you probably get no pussy at all irl
It'd be hilarious if they had them up there with hijabs
Good.
I think it’s kind of funny that we can watch two men try and kill each other for sport but some T&A may be a bit to much to handle lol weird line to draw in the sand
"Sand" Wow. Racist.
Saudis are gay. Can't have any of that!
Saudi Arabia gay as hell
How's it feel that a 19 year old kid gets more attention then a Whittaker main event. Guarantee the ring girls would be in attendance for chiwiws
Than
Literally homosexuals
Or just not degenerates
I'm from that part of the world and I just never understood the obsession with it. I wouldn't want my mother or sister to do this demeaning job why would I wish it on other girls? If I want to watch hot girls I have the internet, it doesn't have to be forced into something not relevant.
They will supply their own ghosts thank you very much.
They're all getting shitted on
I want to see them wearing niqabs...
Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you come right to me?
Just make them wear Burqa
No brother, that is haram
My friend works for UFC’s social media team and I’ll see the various trips on instagram. It’s quite interesting to see the difference in outfit between working at an event in a Muslim nation vs anywhere else. Not a rag on Islam more just an observation.
Ok
"I swear to God" i didn't even notice they weren't there L😅L
How long till no women allowed on Saudi cards lol
No women allowed
Don’t worry Britney palmer gonna be there covered in a trash bag.
Wack
how about ring boys?
RING MEN!!!
No women fights either
I don't know anything about this, but I'm still going to make an ass of myself. They would only have ring girls in Saudi Arabia if they were stoned, not high, but to death.
Thousand IQ this bloke 🙃
They are all getting peed and pooped on in high rise suites by the royal family
Fruity cave men in the desert. So afraid of women that they abuse and hide them all. UFC should not allow fights there.
Saudis are so closeted.
No women at all, apparently. There are no female fights on the card.
Great how am I supposed to goon now
That’s so stupid
They really useless lmao if I want to see a good piece of meat you know I jump on the hub I just wanna see man bled
They really useless lmao if I want to see a good piece of meat you know I jump on the hub I just wanna see man bled
Nope, they just fly em' in... Bang em', pay em'... And send them home.
I wonder if the fighters are going to get covered up too cause if two dudes in boxers briefs are fighting in SA...They will not live that long after getting arrested lol
put some goats instead
