First, he hasn't started "trolling" until recently and I can provide voluminous examples to that end. The guy is naturally an abrasive human being and ironically (especially given your highlighted characterization) he has soaking wet thin paper skin himself. Literally, during TUF 9, he would initiate a shit talking campaign in order to throw the American fighters off their game (his cover for the behavior at least) and once they started giving it back, he lost his composure time and time again. Sorry to disappoint but he'll need to grow a pair before you can pronounce him some sort of master manipulator.
