UFC 302 ended with great finesse as Islam Makhachev defeated Dustin Poirier with a D’arce choke in the fifth round of their bout. Without a doubt, it was a matchup that had the entire arena at maximum excitement. However, the same cannot be said for some of the other fights.

One such fight that had the fight fans booing was the co-main event, featuring Sean Strickland and Paulo Costa. The two mixed martial artists kept on exchanging blows, but the fight lacked the all-out action that most were expecting. It wasn’t until the final few seconds that Strickland landed a barrage of strikes on his opponent, with Costa simply backing up. In the post-fight press conference, ‘Tarzan’ admitted that it wasn’t indeed an exciting match. He apologized to the fans for it. But there was one fight that turned many heads at the Prudential Center, and it happened outside the cage!
