Donald Trump and Mike Tyson Get a Shout Out as UFC 316 Crowd Get Its Apology From Joe Pyfer

Wait 5 sec.

Joe Pyfer walked into UFC 316 with knockout power and a reputation for violence. But when the dust settled on his three-round war with Kelvin Gastelum, the only thing louder than his punches was his apology.In the very first round, Pyfer sent shockwaves through the Octagon. A thunderous right hand landed flush, dropping Gastelum like a stone. Somehow, the veteran got back up. But Pyfer wasn’t done. He landed another crushing shot and followed it with a sharp head kick, testing the limits of Gastelum’s legendary chin. Many thought the finish was just seconds away. Yet the bell rang, and Gastelum was still standing.Round two cooled off, at least by comparison. Pyfer continued to walk forward, hunting for the big shot. Gastelum, bruised but unbroken, kept circling, jabbing, and looking for daylight. Despite the pressure, he refused to go down again.By round three, Gastelum had his moment. He landed more, stayed active, and even defended a brief takedown. But it wasn’t enough to swing the fight. The judges saw it clearly: 29-28, 29-27, and 30-27. Unanimous decision for Joe Pyfer. But the win came without the brutal finish many expected, and Pyfer knew it. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Calf Kick Sports (@calfkicksports)In his post-fight interview, ‘Bodybagz’ apologized to the audience for not getting the finish, but he admitted he was too focused on landing one big punch and wasn’t listening to his coaches enough. “They told me not to focus on that, and that’s exactly what I did”, Pyfer stated.Then came the surprise.
