The MMA world has reacted to the snooze fest between Rizvan Kuniev and Jailton Almeida at UFC Vegas 113.<\/p>\n
Earlier tonight, both fighters engaged in a largely uneventful contest. Kuniev and Almeida took turns controlling the clinch<\/a> and were repeatedly separated by the ref. The crowd also booed in the meantime. This pattern continued for most of the three rounds. <\/p>\n However, with just 10 seconds remaining in the final stanza, the Russian fighter invited \u2018Malhadinho\u2019 to stand and bang in the center of the canvas. The Brazilian accepted the challenge, but neither fighter was able to land anything significant.<\/p>\n After 15 minutes of barely any action, Rizvan Kuniev secured a unanimous decision victory<\/a> (30-27, 30-27, 29-28).<\/p>\n Fans and the MMA community were not happy with the lack of action in this heavyweight affair<\/a>. Reactions poured in on social media.<\/p>\n MMA Community reacts to Jailton Almeida vs. Rizvan Kuniev<\/p>\n Popular MMA Page Dovy posted on X, asking Dana White<\/a> to cut Rizvan Kuniev and Jailton Almeida from the roster. <\/p>\n \u201c\u274cFighters removed: Almeida & Kuniev (please Dana)\u201d<\/p>\n Damon Martin wrote:<\/p>\n So we\u2019re going to see Tom Aspinall<\/a> vs. Ciryl Gane over and over again until Gable Steveson is ready to fight for the title?
