UFC Heavyweight Juan Adams Really Wants to Punch Greg Hardy in the Face
By Kevin Iole
Juan Adams had been complaining on social media about how long it took for him to get another fight after he stopped Chris de la Rocha at UFC Milwaukee in December.
If one didn’t know better, you might think Adams dedicates his social media accounts to three things:
1) Begging for a fight
2) His favorite snack foods
3) Ripping UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy
Adams finally will return to the cage for the first time since that win in his UFC debut over de la Rocha when he faces Arjan Bhullar on Saturday at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa on ESPN+.
That made him happy, but crossing the border did not. He’s been unable to find any Little Debbies items in stores around Ottawa.
“You can get them everywhere, except in Canada, I guess,” Adams said. “What’s up with that? The Canadians are missing out. They are so good.”
He proceeds to run through the lineup of snacks he enjoys, and even notes, as if he is a paid spokesman, that they always put out new and different seasonal items.
“Honestly, I love them,” he said of Little Debbies. “They’re cheap, you can find them pretty much everywhere and they’re so good. I love them. I grew up with them. My Mom stocked up on them all the time. I was a fat kid, and that’s probably why I got fat in the first place. There’s never a bad time to eat some Little Debbies.”
Except, that is, over the next few days, as Adams will be cutting weight to get to the UFC’s 266-pound heavyweight limit. He’s got a feast ready for him after the weigh-in, sans Little Debbies, with pizza and S’Mores flavored Ritz crackers; cinnamon bun-flavored Oreos; Double Stuffed Double cream fudge cookies; Jujubes and a jelly-filled cake, among other things.
. . .
“I love MMA because to me, it’s one of the purest things you can do as a human being,” he said. “Every animal, every living being, all humans, we have this instinct in us. Think to when you were a kid, and you roughhoused with your brother or your sister and your friends. I’ve always loved that. I get paid to go out and do what comes so natural to people. We as professionals apply some science to it, but it’s just the purest, realest form of competition.
“Another thing about it is, you have to admit this, you go through your day and someone does something that pisses you off and you wish you could just haul off and punch them in the face. You don’t, because there are rules and all this kind of stuff against that. You might want to punch your boss but you can’t. I don’t want to punch Dana [White]. I don’t have a problem with him.
“Well, when I saw how much Greg Hardy was making, it made me want to punch him a little bit, but other than that, he’s doing great for the sport. But Greg Hardy? Yeah, man, this job, at least theoretically, gives me the opportunity to punch that guy in the face. What could be better than that?”
. . .
“My hair, it gets attention, but it’s like this: My whole life I’ve had to have super conservative haircuts. I went to an all-boys Catholic high school and then I went to Virginia Military Institute where you had to have a military standard haircut. The minute I graduated, I haven’t let a clipper touch my hair since.”
