Fans urge Dana White to stop "boring" Israel Adesanya fights MMA fans continue to berate Israel Adesanya for in the wake of the Jared Cannonier fight. While it is up for debate whether Israel Adesanya has , one thing is for certain in the UFC, viewers will have to sit through the bout even if it doesn't match up to their expectations, unless of course they turn off their television. However, it doesn't seem like all MMA promotions stick to that rule. A recent bout under Russia's most prominent MMA promotion, Absolute Champion Akhmat, was stopped because it was deemed too uneventful. Mairbek Khasiev, the founder and head honcho, interfered with the fight after four rounds of the showdown and halted the action. The fight was between former UFC fighter Rashid Magomedov and former ACA title contender Ali Bagov to decide one of the semifinalists for the promotion's ongoing lightweight tournament. As a result of Khasiev's decision, the fighters were disqualified and the fight was ruled a no-contest. : Четвертьфинальный бой Гран-при в легком весе между Рашидом Магомедовым и Али Баговым был остановлен перед началом 5-го раунда основателем лиги Майрбеком Хасиевым. Причина - излишняя пассивность. Оба бойца дисквалифицированы, бой получил статус не состоявшегося. : Четвертьфинальный бой Гран-при в легком весе между Рашидом Магомедовым и Али Баговым был остановлен перед началом 5-го раунда основателем лиги Майрбеком Хасиевым.

After implementing a one-of-a-kind stoppage, Khasiev addressed the audience and in a fiesty manner [Translation via ]: "Dear friends. The ACA League is not a kindergarten. It is a serious league. The ACA League today, is—regardless of what anyone says—is the 2nd greatest fight league in the world. Every time I say this, someone comes out with some sort of criticism. And now we are showing you what sort of league we really are. That’s it! Disqualified! That’s it, I’ve had it, I got no nerve for this. What is this? What the f-ck are you—What are you? Do you think we’re schoolboys over here!? Right, you’re all free to go, that’s it." Once news of the incident broke on social media, mainstream MMA fans immediately began drawing comparisons with Israel Adesanya. Here are some select tweets: Dear please do this to .

They compared it to a possible bout between teammates Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev. Its not that the fight was boring. They refused to fight each other and just lightly grappled for 4 rounds. I think they didn't want to fight each other out of friendship and honor to one another. Not sure how this fight got setup but it appears to have been without their consent Its not that the fight was boring. They refused to fight each other and just lightly grappled for 4 rounds. I think they didn't want to fight each other out of friendship and honor to one another. Not sure how this fight got setup but it appears to have been without their consent It is worth noting that former bantamweight champion Petr Yan competed in the ACA before coming over to the UFC.
