Has any fighter actually asked the referee a question before touching gloves?

I always wondered why referees bother to ask if the fighters have any questions before touching gloves in the Octagon. What’s the point? The referees talk to the fighters in the locker room before the fight anyway. If you made it all the way to the UFC you probably know the rules by now. Its a waste of time.
IN muay thai they will sometimes ask if it is 3 or 5 rounds, sonce they switch it up sometimes. Im guessing they used to do this in boxing too and the qurstion is a cultural relic.

Dan Severn to big John: " If I'm on a bicycle going 10 miles an hour, and a train is traveling at 50 miles an hour, after a 30 minute ride, how many apples does Mary have in the basket?"

No word of a lie, I'm literally laying in bed laughing my head off at this.

God I love big Dan. Absolute savage. About to get into a bare fisted fight and is as cool as a cucumber.
 
Do you have any questions?

Yes. Can you actually enforce the rules when this guy is trying to blatantly poke my eyes out?

People have pointed out when fighters have asked questions as a joke but I can't remember a real question in MMA.

I have heard boxers clarify low blows before because they thought their opponents trunks were too high.
 
not a red question but i love when Tarver asked Roy Jones if he had any excuses during the staredown lol.. was crazy shit and then he KOs him.
 
I seem to recall that before Rampage fought Igor Vovchanchyn, while they stood mid-ring with the ref, Rampage tried to hand Igor a note. It was reportedly from Rampage's mom and it asked Igor not to hit Rampage too hard. Or something ridiculous like that. I'm sure that it was signed "Quinton's Mother."

People need to start diving and getting DQ wins when their opponents are just getting free eye pokes and groin shots.
