Media Glover Teixeira shuts down intimidation by Cutelaba "not today"

Then he is fake trash, even worse.
Hate the guy.
How is it fake,if he is doing that right before the fight begins? He still has to fight.
 
lol cutebala is one of the worst representations of the sport ever. Dude's everything you love to hate in a competitor.
lol

I like his gimmick. Win or lose he's always gonna do that. Its entertaining.
 
True it gets people to tune in I suppose. I watch just to see him get his ass beat.
Plus its interesting to see the reaction.

Ankalaev immediatley grabbed him for getting that close. Glover stood his ground and told him what was what. I am curious to see how everyone else will react. For sure the UFC loves it and doesnt make him stop.

If your fighting him,got to be ready for it. Its coming. So i find this enjoyable.
 
Way to be harsh. All's hes doing is mean mugging people. Its not like he is really attacking them.

Depends how to see this.

I see what you're saying though. Im all for the crazy. As long as it's not Mcgregor throwing a dolly at a bus crazy. Or Jon Jones crazy.

It would be boring if everyone was like GSP or Machida TBH

The differences in personality is what makes this sport interesting.

Like Nick Diaz and GSP is so much more entertaining because they are polar opposites

Usman is also known to get right into his opponents face in the introduction. Hell, he's getting closer than Cutelaba.

I thought Burns was about to headbutt him right then and there.

I mean I dont say people should or shouldnt do that,but if you are up there,you got to be ready for anything. You never know what your opponent will do. Look at that Stephens fiasco. That guy walked so close to Stephens and didnt prepare himself at all.
 
Hahaha I dont consider Ion a douchebag. This is the fight game,and there is room in this game for that kind of mean mugging behavior. If your the real deal,like Glover,you wont let it bother you. It also creates awesome moments like this hahah/
Ion isn't my cup of tea, and it's far from an isolated incident.

Of course it isnt! its literally the main reason people know him.

Probably better to be known as an unstoppable smeshing machine that beats the best of the best than the loud barking fool that everyone enjoys watching get smeshed. But bad press is better than no press these days I guess.

<Fedor23>

I mean,its better to be known than not...

After watching him and paying more attention to him because of his antics i actually got entertained by him. He is only half crazy. He can laugh at himself,and realizes that what he is doing has a showmanship element to it. Its a crazy way to get attention tho.
 
I like Jan, but Glover is a fucking badass. Just hoping for a good fight!

Thing is though that if your going to play the whole bad guy/heel angle, you really can't give people the satisfaction of seeing you lose, especially multiple times.

And it's not just Ion, before and after. It all just feels more and more contrived and played out. We need stone cold killers again, like prime Fedor or Moose.
 
Wasn't he just faking being knocked out and the ref "fell" for it.
Yeah he def did not get murked the first time. I think that ref got fired from working UFC events.

Yeah but I dont think he is trying to convince everyone he is a bad ass. This is just what he LIKES TO DO. It's taken a life of its own though now. Now he has to do it every time lol
 
Like when Nick Diaz faced Paul Daley,I wondered if he would come out face first hands down sayin "fuck you" to a guy who carries that much power at WW,and damned if that isnt the first thing he did lol

I know what Ion's about but i confess i enjoy seeing how each different person reacts to it.
 
How is it fake,if he is doing that right before the fight begins? He still has to fight.
Whatever. Bully tactics don't get a pass in my book. He got schooled a couple times already and still does it. I have no respect for this shit. Lemme hate in peace.

I mean you can hate it all you want. But dude isnt a fake,he has to get in there and back it all up. He is putting it all on the line.
