Did Stipe snub Dana with the belt?

[Readybodisready]

Maybe it was nothing but Stipe clearly took the belt from Dana's hands and gave it to his coach so he'd be the one putting the belt around his waist.

I hope it was an F U to Dana's blatant disrespect for openly cheerleading Ngannou the whole time.

 

[g*r*b]

Possibly. But I read it as the visual equivalent of what he's always said: the only reason he's champion is because of his coaches.
