Times when pre-fight antics WORKED

[Fatback96]

When was a time when pre-fight antics actually affected the outcome of the fight? This could mean press conferences, weigh ins, face offs, social media, etc.

I’ll start:

This not only led to Rountree losing badly, but also semi-retiring as well.

Conor vs Aldo and Dustin

After that I really thought Bangkok ready Rountree would smesh this guy.

His striking defense is his downfall. If it were better, he'd be a top ten guy imo.

This got a lot of traction at the time, I remember people saying that was the mask the kidnappers were wearing when they took Vitor's sister

GSP was already mentally checked out. Hard lesson learned the best way.

That was crazy...Khalil went from shitty, to looking like Buakaw Muay Thai God, back to shitty. What an adventure

I'll go with a less obvious one. Nobody saw it but Joanna pulled a Mike Tyson on Carla Esparza.

While they were in the back warming up the red and blue locker rooms were side by side and Carla had to listen to Joanna hit the pads screaming for 2 hours until they both went out and fought.

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Can't remember who, but Cowboy Cerrone seemed to get psyched out by a former friend that he had to fight acting mad at him. He does much better when things are cool.

Oh really?? That’s dirty as fuck.

I thought at the time Vitor was calling Anderson fake as heck and wears a mask in public not showing who he really is.

damn now that makes you kinda think Anderson was involved in vitors sisters kidnapping..
