A fight that began with promise quickly turned to disappointment for Abdul Razak Alhassan.
in Denver on Saturday night. Alhassan was warned by referee Dan Miragliotta for landing elbows to the back of Brundage’s head during the salvo, and the fight was halted when “Judo Thunder” continued to land what the veteran official perceived to be illegal blows.
It was ultimately determined that a dazed Brundage would not be able to continue, and the bout was ruled a no contest. It was a bitter pill to swallow for Alhassan, who might have been on the verge of a stoppage even without the fouls. Alhassan reacted to the ruling on his Instagram Stories. “Sorry to all my fans, all my people. I wanted this bad. I wanted this win. I wanted this fight so bad,” he said. “I have so much anger and so much energy in me right now that I wanted to use but I wasn’t able to use it. I guess today is a crazy day. Trump got shot and I got robbed.
“I know definitely he could have continued. He just decided to be a p—y and didn’t want to fight anymore. It is what it is. I hope him a speedy recovery.” Alhassan began his UFC tenure with victories in four of his first five appearances — all by first-round knockout or technical knockout. Since then, he is just 2-5, with the aforementioned no contest as the latest addition to his ledger.
