Most cringy moment in UFC

is rothwell still in ufc?

He fell victim to the shady soul patched snitch.
 
When conman got a dec against nate to make it 1-1 after running around the octagon for 2 rounds, and said postfight "the king is back". That was retarded.
How ironic, the last to fighters that went running literally where DeRandamie and Mousasi, oh wait, where are they from again?
 
Joe Rogan getting all hyperbolic about Ronda being a once in a lifetime athlete who could beat some male UFC fighters has to be up there with the worst of them.
 
When Dana and Joe tried to make casuals believe that Ronda would beat Floyd.

<{Heymansnicker}>
 
Rogan literally crying about Ronda and calling her the greatest human being in history has to be the most cringy moment in terms of individuals.

As an organization, that Reebek press conference/Fight Kit show was beyond embarrassing. Looked like a production put on by a high school. And that dude with the loudspeaker. I cringe just thinking about it.
 
Joe Rogan - "Ronda is a once in a lifetime fighter"

Joe Rogan - "Ngannou is a one in a billion athlete"

Joe Rogan - "Ronda could beat Cain Velasquez under the right circumstances"

Joe Rogan - "Ronda is a one of the greatest humans that have ever lived"

Joe Rogan - "Theres no doubt about it the ultimate fighter has provided some of the best champions to ever compete in the octagon"

Joe Rogan - "Barao is the p4p greatest fighter ever"
Joe Rogan - "Aldo is the p4p greatest fighter ever"
Joe Rogan - "Jones is the p4p greatest fighter ever"
Joe Rogan - "Mighty Mouse is the p4p greatest fighter ever"
Joe Rogan - "GSP is the p4p greatest fighter ever"

^ not that they are weird remarks, just that how he changes his greatest fighter ever so often.
 
Everything about the first UFC on Fox card.

- 1 one-minute fight in a 90-minute block of programming
- That horrendous video with JDS and the fire
- Sober Joe Rogan stumbling through that one press conference
- An obviously upset Dana White burying Cain on air after losing
- Those fucking Fox robots
JDS and the fire was legendary though got to make things look EXTREME
 
Joe Rogan - "Ronda could beat Cain Velasquez under the right circumstances"
Lol he really said that?

If the right circumstances would be having Cain's arms and legs strapped to a chair then maybe..
 
See I don't find Rothwell's interview cringeworthy. I thought it was just hilarious. I also think there is a little bit of ambiguity as to whether he was doing satirically riffing on a pro wrestling type promo or was legitimately attempting to do a pro wrestling style promo which adds to the amusement factor.

But watching the video again, one of the funniest aspects is how Anik brings him back down to earth and you can almost see the promo character deflate in front of your eyes. It's like Rothwell didn't expect him to ask anything more, when he says he wants to ask more about the fight, is unsure whether he should or should not respond (I was supposed to end with the creepy laugh, damn it) and then when he does respond to the question quickly transitions from the pro wrestling guy to just his normal self (um it happened how it happened-)

Classic post fight interview in my opinion.
 
Lol he really said that?

If the right circumstances would be having Cain's arms and legs strapped to a chair then maybe..

Joe said A LOT of stuff about Ronda that was over the top. But I believe that particular phrase (and it's a classic one used on Sherdog a lot) was by Ronda herself.

she said something to effect that at a given moment, under the right circumstances, she could beat Cain Velasquez (who was the HW champ at the time).
