Sitting to look at the rest of the fighting in the arena is not a luxury that some hunters offer, according to a UFC Hopeful, who becomes a member of a collection of hunters to reveal that the UFC kicks them out after competing.
Former Championship Double-Champion Reinier de Ridder De Ridder submitted Kevin Holland on the main map of UFC 311 in January. Although he appeared on the pay-per-view part of the map, De Ridder claims that the UFC had him left the Arena after fulfilling media obligations, and he looked at the rest of the fights in a hamburger joint .

Reinier de Ridder reveals that he had to leave UFC 311 after securing the first round of finishing on the PPV headcard
Speaking with Eurosport, De Ridder revealed that he had to leave the Arena despite winning the opening match at the UFC 311 head card. 'The Dutch Knight' thought it was great to have to quote Backstage -fight as the reason that the UFC fighters left after fighting.
'[We couldn’t stay in the stadium]No, no, “De Ridder told Eurosport. “All media done, first behind the scenes, and then we continued, had a snack to eat and look in the meantime [at In-N-Out]. . . . You have to go [to leave the arena]. I think they had a few fights behind the scenes. So [they would rather you leave]But that's fine too. ” [h/t translation Bloody Elbow]
It is safe to say that MMA fans were not satisfied with the news.
“Stylish things from an organization of 10 billion dollars,” wrote a user of Reddit.
Other users agreed: “[…] They can't make a room with some TVs, beer and wings, S *** probably costs a maximum of $ 1,000. “
“Two large changing rooms with a TV in the corner would be fine,” another contributed. “Every other show seems to manage it.”
'[de Ridder] Exposing both one and UFC in a few weeks, “noted a user, referring to De Ridder who advised hunters to prevent one championship.
“The UFC treats their hunters like String,” wrote another.
No time to shower while Payton Talbott discusses that UFC starts him from Arena after winning fights
Also on UFC 311, Bantamweight was hopeful Payton Talbott, who had a similar experience with De Ridder after winning his fight on UFC 303 with a knockout of 20 seconds. Talbott spoke with Ariel Helwani and revealed that he had no time to shower before he was accompanied.
“No, they kick you out!” Talbott proclaimed that he could not view the main event after fighting. 'They are like:' Do you have a card? “And I had something like:” I just fought. ” And they are like: “No exceptions, man.” I had something like that: “Are you joking?!”
“Yes, they wouldn't let me go back. They are gone [the fighter green room] With Covid. … As soon as you're done with your media, you're gone, “Talbott said it bluntly. “No [no opportunity to shower]I took one when I got home [at the AirBnb]. No, I didn't even know there were showers. “
The same happened with UFC fan favorite Johnny Walker, who still wore his UFC fighting equipment on the Las Vegas Strip. Walker was started from UFC 279 after submitting Ion Cutelaba in the main card opener.
“I didn't take my gloves!” Walker exclaimed in the video.
So ” [the UFC] Just came and kicked us out, “wrote coach John Kavanagh. “No tickets for us and should not stay behind the scenes to look. The back door, kicked out, don't even have shoes on. “
