and people say ariel instigates
DC is probably the most insecure champion I have ever seen.
On a fight night DC is mentally always ready, not joking and serious. Rashad has no chance
if this fight had of happened
Ariel does instigate, bad. Difference is fighters have ground to do so, Ariel is just a douche with a mic and good access.
Maybe people don
There's "just joking around with friends" and then there's two professional fighters with a lot of pride both of whom think they could beat one another and both of whom want nothing more than to be champion in their division "just joking around as friends."
Not to say that it isn't good natured, but there's real tension behind it, and it's intriguing to watch.
