The Ultimate Fighting Championship has had its fair share of unpleasant fighter-fan moments over the years. Arman Tsarukyan famously swung at a fan during his UFC 300 walkout after allegedly being flipped off and grabbed, and Nate Diaz has often approached hecklers near cageside sections. But UFC 328 delivered something far stranger.

A fan now claims he was assaulted by French featherweight William Gomis’ wife before being permanently banned from the Prudential Center himself. Minutes after Gomis lost a grinding unanimous decision to Pat Sabatini in Newark, a fan uploaded a TikTok video directly pleading for help from Dana White.
“Dana White, please help me,” he said. “I was just assaulted by William Gomis’ wife, and I got banned from the Prudential Center for life. Roll the clip of William Gomis’ wife assaulting me, and not only assaulting me but then trying to justify it.”

The clip showed a woman holding a French flag walking up to the TikToker, slapping him, and pulling him by his shirt. The fan further continued narrating the ordeal. What made the situation even messier was the fan claiming he, not the alleged aggressor, was punished afterward.
“Hey, I’m a real fan,” he continued. “I was in section one, all the way on the floor, cheering for Pat Sabatini. Out of nowhere, William Gomis’ wife comes up and assaults me, and then I get kicked out and banned for life for it.”
He also claimed he paid roughly $600 for the ticket and insisted he never retaliated physically.

“If you’re a lawyer or if you know somebody that can help me, reach out to the Prudential Center or Dana White to get this situated,” he added. “Because this is so f—– up.
“How can someone get assaulted, pay $600 for a ticket, not hit the girl back, and then get kicked out and banned for life? It’s ridiculous.”
As of now, no one from William Gomis’ team has officially responded to the allegations or the footage circulating online. Nor has Dana White commented on the situation. If it turns out to be true, the UFC will surely have a new headache to deal with.
But till then, the biggest talking point to come out of the event remains the fights and the decisions that even left Dana White perplexed.
Dana White shares a blunt take on the UFC 328 scoring debate
The strange fan altercation may have added extra chaos to UFC 328, but the majority of the conversations regarding the event shift back to the judging.
Even Dana White walked away unhappy with at least one fight’s scorecards. The biggest split came in the main event, where Sean Strickland reclaimed the middleweight title with a close decision win over Khamzat Chimaev.
Fans and analysts immediately argued over the result online, with many believing ‘Borz’ had done enough with his wrestling-heavy approach. Dana White, on the other hand, supported the judges’ decision to award Sean Strickland the fight, saying he personally had the contest tied entering the fifth round before giving the final round to ‘Tarzan.’ Ironically, the fight the head honcho actually disagreed with was lower on the card.
After Alexander Volkov defeated Waldo Cortes-Acosta to loud booing inside the Prudential Center, Dana White agreed that Cortes-Acosta deserved the win.
“I actually thought that Waldo won the fight,” White said during his press conference after UFC 328.
However, his belief was later changed when he talked to UFC matchmakers Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard.
“I talked to Sean and Mick,” he added. “They both thought the fight was scored the right way. The first round was close.”
However, it did little to comfort people online, with many labeling the decision as yet another robbery in a sport already drowning in scoring controversies. And now, this new TikTok about William Gomis’ wife will only allows the noise around UFC 328 grow further.
