## Summary

UFC announcer Bruce Buffer has recalled several major brawls he has witnessed and said he supports Dillon Danis being banned from UFC events. His comments followed a fight in an Abu Dhabi hotel lobby involving former champion Merab Dvalishvili and Usman Nurmagomedov, for which Nurmagomedov and members of his group received six-month prison sentences.

Buffer, who has announced UFC fights since 1996, cited Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cage jump after his fight with Conor McGregor and a 1997 after-party brawl involving Tank Abbott and Wallid Ismail. He said Danis repeatedly causes trouble and should stay away from UFC events after a previous altercation with Islam Makhachev’s team at Madison Square Garden. Buffer also said he was sorry Dvalishvili was fined, and warned that throwing punches outside the ring or octagon can have serious consequences in Abu Dhabi.
