Trash talking almost turned into an embarrassing situation for one UFC fighter.
Talking smack about each other face-to-face is custom for any UFC match up. For some, it's the most thrilling event before the fight. Yesterday's weigh in between Mike Perry, and Max Griffin was no different.
Both scaled their masses and readied to pose for the big stare down. It should've been an opportune moment for flicks, but Perry took it as a chance for something a bit more comedic. He swiftly stooped down in an attempt to pull Griffin's pants down as Griffin was squared up for photos.
There's no doubt Max didn't find the antics amusing. An interview the day before the prank showed Griffin sharing his thoughts on the notable fighter. Though he acknowledges his opponent's capabilities, he continues to hold his to a higher standard. He told UFC on FOX 28 before calling Perry "fake," "I’m going to beat him up. He has confidence issues. He tries to act all tough – he’s not even from Orlando … He’s from Michigan or something. He’s a clown to me.”
The prankster, however, has other concerns in mind. One being his next opponent post the Griffin match. The conquest he's looking forward to is one against Donald Cerrone.
Let's see how everything plays out in the UFC Fight Night in Orlando tonight at 4 p.m.
