UFC has returned to Sacramento, California, after a long seven years, and things are getting particularly heated inside the Octagon. Sportsmanship took a back seat during a preliminary fight when one fighter pushed his opponent even after the bell signaled the end of the round, deeply infuriating fans watching the clash live.

The incident happened during the lightweight bout between Stanley Dorsainvil and Gauge Young. Both fighters came out highly aggressive from the opening bell, swinging haymakers in search of an early knockout as well as the bonus that goes with it. However, it was Young whose uppercut, left hook, and right hook combination rocked the debutant Dorsainvil badly. Still, the 26-year-old managed to survive the onslaught.

Just after the first-round ending bell sounded, Dorsainvil appeared to approach his opponent, only to be met with a shove by Young. In response, Dorsainvil flipped him the bird, further heating the situation. After that, both fighters produced an equally grueling 10 minutes of relentless fighting, but the judges ultimately declared Stanley Dorsainvil the winner by unanimous decision.

Afterward, both fighters embraced each other, signaling that the bad blood was over. But the fans still grilled Gauge Young for pushing his opponent after the bell rang.
