Enjoy not fighting in the Octagon.<\/p>\n
Las Vegas-based regional promotion Tuff-N-Uff<\/a> returned for its first event of 2026 last Friday night, delivering several highlight-reel finishes \u2014 including former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fighter Kai Kamaka starching Michel Lima with just 12 seconds left (watch it here<\/a>).<\/p>\n But one fighter managed to steal the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.<\/p>\n Lightweight David Goldenberg picked up a unanimous decision win over De\u2019Aundre Tipton on the main card in what can generously be described as an uneventful fight. Unfortunately for Goldenberg, the bout itself wasn\u2019t what people were talking about \u2014 his post-fight interview was.<\/p>\n \u201cHey Sean Shelby, Hunter Campbell, and who\u2019s the third Musketeer, the bald guy kind of looks like a bloated Mr. Clean?\u201d Goldenberg said. \u201cWhat\u2019s his name? Dean, Don, Dino? Dana White! Better wake up, motherf\u2014kers, next big thing is here, so get your checkbook ready, let\u2019s make some money!\u201d<\/p>\n Goldenberg clearly thought he cooked. Instead, he burned the kitchen down.<\/p>\n The clip went viral \u2014 and it eventually landed on White\u2019s radar. The UFC boss responded on Instagram, and absolutely torched him.<\/p>\n \u201cWorst fight of the night,\u201d White wrote on Instagram. \u201cStunk the place up with his performance and then talks like he put on the Fight of the Night. The fight after his was a woman\u2019s fight that made his fight look even shittier. [Smilla Sundell] blows Scrappy Douche outta the water!!\u201d<\/p>\n Mission accomplished \u2014 just not the mission Goldenberg wanted.<\/p>\n Instead of earning a contract, Goldenberg likely punched his own ticket out of UFC consideration entirely. And at 33 years old with a 3-0 record, that door probably isn\u2019t reopening.<\/p>\n Still, with all the attention he generated, maybe another promotion comes calling.<\/p>\n PFL, Dirty Boxing\u2026 anyone?<\/p>\n
