If the last few weeks worth of World Cup games have taught you to hate the sound of the vuvuzela, you’re not alone. UFC president Dana White agrees completely, which is why the UFC has banned the headache-inducing horns from Saturday night’s UFC 116 event in Las Vegas.
“This decision was pretty simple for me,” White is quoted as saying in a press release sent out by the UFC today. “Vuvuzelas make the most horrific sound I’ve ever heard. I’d rather let Brock [Lesnar] punch me in the face than hear 15,000 people blow on those things. This is the biggest heavyweight fight we’ve ever done. We’ll make enough noise this weekend when Brock and Shane [Carwin] finally step inside the Octagon.”
And you thought you hated the vuvuzela.
