It’s not every day you witness something like this.
The absence of a roaring crowd in the arena has brought a unique perspective to the fights. Millions of viewers were able to hear not only the bone-crushing strikes but also the verbal interactions between the fighters.
During a match between Glover Teixeira and Anthony Smith, cameras picked up Teixeira apologizing to Smith while relentlessly landing punches on him.
Smith endured a severe beating during the fight and was heard telling his corner that his teeth were coming loose.
The referee eventually halted the match in the last round.
