In this installment of The Pulse of MMA, we look at the raw reactions from MMA fans to Saturday’s UFC 267 event.
Tagir Ulanbekov def. Allan Nascimento by Split Decision
Tagir Ulanbekov picks up the split decision over Allan Nascimento. Man, that was a really close one. Nascimento is legit. Ulanbekov celebrates with Hasbulla! #UFC267
— John Beiser (@RWHockeyJohn) October 30, 2021
Ulanbekov edges out the decision winning rounds 1 and 3 but not a good showing from him.
— John Martian MMA (@UFO_UFC) October 30, 2021
Still doesn't check leg kicks, his boxing looked significantly worse this fight than the Bruno Silva fight.
Good sub defense and top game he just needs WAY more activity on top.

Someone competent
— Non Fair-Weather MN Sports Fan (@BolmaroROTYMVP) October 30, 2021
Things didn't go Andre Petroski's way in the TUF house but its cool to see him still get his chance and start off 2-0 in the UFC #UFC267

Nothing more beautiful than a perfectly timed knee on a takedown, forever undefeated.
— Andrew Harbaugh (@MandrewH_) October 30, 2021
Hell of a knockout for Lerone Murphy. #UFC267 pic.twitter.com/WwT0Dg2lK8
Michal Oleksiejczuk def. Shamil Gamzatov via TKO
I am really starting to believe that polish power
— Valentina Shevchenko Turkey (@TurkeyValentina) October 30, 2021
Look at that long hard jab that opens Gazmatov guard and set up that beautiful clean and sharp uppercut.

Michal Oleksiejczuk vs. Paulo Costa let's do this. #UFC267
— Mikey Bats (@MikeJBknows) October 30, 2021
Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos def. Benoit Saint-Denis by Unanimous Decision
Zaleski is like "I didn't mean to nearly kill you, this ref is just a dumb fuck. I'm so sorry." #UFC267
— Josh (@LegendaryFeats) October 30, 2021
Great performance by Elizeu Zaleski Dos Santos. Benoit Saint Denis is so damn tough. And that ref shouldn't be allowed back out for the Ankalaev-Oezdemir fight. #UFC267
— John Beiser (@RWHockeyJohn) October 30, 2021

— Kevin Thang (@Skip2MyJays) October 30, 2021
Wow. So, Elizeu Zaleski is one of the toughest humans imaginable. And that fight should have 10000 percent been stopped in the second round. Doesn't matter Zaleski managed to go the distance. With what that ref was looking at, you stop that fight every time.
— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) October 30, 2021
-1.4u on the under 2.5 in Zaleski. I mean what the fuck ref?
— Bo (@mrrobertmiller) October 30, 2021

Albert Duraev def. Roman Kopylov via Unanimous Decision
no way Duraev won that last round
— mariano (@marianordz47) October 30, 2021
Like how 🤣 for me it was 29-27
— Jazzi909 (@jazzi909) October 30, 2021
Well that was @JasonHerzogMMA showing us what a ref should be doing.
— John (@enigmachine) October 30, 2021
Jason, when you get a minute, can you give us your thoughts on the performance of referee Vyacheslav Kiselev?
You might say one issue was a mistake, but there were several.
😎👊 #UFC267 #InAbuDhabi
Zubaira Tukhugov def. Ricardo Ramos by Unanimous Decision
Tukhugov is now 2-1-1 since suffering a TKO loss to Conor McGregor. #UFC267
— MacMally🍀 (@MacMallyMMA) October 30, 2021
Tukhugov just worked his jab beautifully and Ramos had his moments but never was able to get his timing. Great fight and I wouldn't be shocked if we see these two again down the line as they move up the ranks. #UFC267
— Josh (@LegendaryFeats) October 30, 2021
Tukhugov vs. Ramos is fight of the afternoon so far
— Georgian Tutuianu (@ThuggyPinch) October 30, 2021
fucking respect to both Ramos and Tukhugov, great fight with great fighters. i think Tukhugov takes it tho❤️‼️😤 #UFC #UFC267

Amanda Ribas def. Virna Jandiroba by Unanimous Decision
Are you calling her "Happy" Ribas and saying she's back in the win column
— Tito Not🎃rtiz (@KrayT1to) October 30, 2021
Or
Are you happy Ribas is back in the win column 🤔
Amanda Ribas is an adorable savage #UFC267
— Jack Belcher (@itsJackBelcher) October 30, 2021
Amanda "Pikachu" Ribas. (?)#UFC267
— Marina (@iglesiasmai) October 30, 2021
When Amanda Ribas wins, the world wins! #UFC267
— Sean (@seanie_hoodrat) October 30, 2021
Amanda Ribas is the funny energetic best friend of the final girl in slasher horror movies #UFC267
— Jillian DeCoursey (@lionheartjill) October 30, 2021
Magomed Ankalaev def. Volkan Oezdemir by Unanimous Decision
Comfortable dominant win for Ankalaev here, he probably could've finished Volkan but still that's a good win #UFC267
— 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖒𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗❂ (@EagIesmesh) October 30, 2021
What judge is high 😂 29-28????
— Michael Cornelius (@Michael13352812) October 30, 2021
Ankalaev vs Prochazka is the only fight I want to see. Scratch every other fight for the rest of the year. #UFC267 pic.twitter.com/QKEAcmYU2U
— Octagon Doctor (@dryared) October 30, 2021
Ankalev has the hand speed of an bentamweight and the power of a heavyweight his reaction time is insane
— nato (@_so_idk_) October 30, 2021
Ankalaev proving once again that he’s the future champion. Normal.
— mar. (@martinabou_) October 30, 2021
Khamzat Chimaev def. Li Jingliang by Submission
He’s different. You don’t get up when he gets you down.
— Tristan Winchester (@TristanWinches9) October 30, 2021
“Khamzat Chimaev is all hype” yeh? We’ll explain this…. #borzszn pic.twitter.com/X3mtLvVN6u
— Kharry Nurmagopotter (@beastbooii) October 27, 2021
This dude is ready to fight the whole fucking card tonight. He’ll fight and destroy Sean, Sean’s father and whoever else signs the dotted line. The only chance Coby has against Khamzat is if he is allowed to bring a fully loaded gun in the ring.
— Amonymous Dyslexicus (@soccerdewde) October 30, 2021
Khamzat Chimaev has aborbed only one significant strike in the first four fights of his #UFC career. That is a record that is going to stand for a long time. #UFC267 pic.twitter.com/ngTXl5rNrv

Alexander Volkov -225 7u🔥✅🔥 pic.twitter.com/gnktBH7CkG
Neither of them are good enough
— WestHamFanTone (@WestHamFanTone) October 30, 2021
Volkov is really pretty awful at using his reach. He's just Struve 2.0. Just constantly letting Tybura get in his grill, jab nowhere to be seen.
— Dusty Bitches (@BoxingBusch) October 30, 2021
Yo, delete this tweet. "Pure Dominance" 🙄😂
— Arlix (@arlixofficial) October 30, 2021
Volkov has discovered the secret of takedown defense: be 6'7 and outweigh everyone #UFC267
— Jay Anders🎃n (@CageSideJay) October 30, 2021
Islam Makhachev def. Dan Hooker by Submission
Wow what a dominant performance by Islam Makhachev. He submitted Dan Hooker in 1st round with kimura. He wants to fight for title next.#UFC267Live pic.twitter.com/jAFO7e7yZY

Between the dillashaw and Yan fights,Sandhagen has been involved in two of the most high level MMA fights of all time all in the space of a year. What a beast
— Maverick4Gold2021 (@ChiesaStan) October 30, 2021
Classy response from Corey – “[Yan] was the better fighter tonight”. Respect. Sandhagen came ready to win it, just wasn’t enough … today #UFC267

Yan is built for five rounds. Guy is a terminator. Starts slow, reads, then murders you. Exhausting pressure. Turns you in to a wrestler then out wrestles you. Doesn’t get tired. Good fucking luck beating that guy #UFC267

I like jan. But man this guy glover is a true warrior. He is the inspiration to many who thought they can't do something just because they are aged. What a legend #UFC267
