http://mmajunkie.com/news/19748/dana-whites-stunning-announcement-vuvuzela-noisemakers-banned-at-ufc-116.mma
In what's likely more of a good-natured publicity stunt than a vital new policy, UFC officials today announced a ban of vuvuzelas at this weekend's UFC 116 event.

Vuvuzelas are horn-shaped noisemakers popularized (and perhaps overused) during this year's FIFA World Cup.

UFC president Dana White is credited with implementing the ban.

"This decision was pretty simple for me," White stated. "Vuvuzelas make the most horrific sound I've ever heard. I'd rather let Brock punch me in the face than hear 15,000 people blow on those things.

Now I want to buy a Vuvuzela! Just to piss him off and annoy him. Knowing DW and Lorenzo, they will somehow turn this into a fucking product that they sell on ufc.com though

funny thing is I have an iphone app for a vuvuzelas, so I'm sure plenty of other fans could do the same. Not as loud but still loud and annoying.

Do you have iphone? They have like 50 different Vuvuzela Apps. Half of them are free...I have one of the free ones. They are very easy to find.

I wouldn't mind hearing them during the fights on TUF. All the yelling is annoying as hell. I usually turn the volume down when the fights start on the show.

This is the best idea Dana has ever had. When I watch the World Cup I cant stand to listen to all that BullShit in the back ground.
