What's the stupidest thing you've ever personally said to a fighter?

I was at a fan expo in LA around 9 years ago and I saw Branden Vera and his wife standing near me. And for some reason without thinking I blurted out to him, "She's much cuter than the one you brought last time!" And he just looked at me and did like a mock laugh and fake smile, as in yeah, real funny...not.

And I agree with him, it was a stupid thing for me to say (Even though he has said some stupid stuff in the past, like about becoming a 2 division UFC champ!??)

Anyway, it got me wondering if anyone else has ever said something to a UFC fighter that you realized wasn't the smartest thing to say? Perhaps you were nervous, etc.
 
I was at an event once and Minotauro Nogueira was throwing some merchandise for the crowd. I screamed "throw this shit over here or I'll summon Frank Mir to kick your ass".

Then I realised how much of a keyboard warrior, piece of shit I was that day.
 
i told brock i could kick his ass. and he agreed. that's actually the real reason he retired.
 
Dunno but I remember some Sherdogger tried getting his shadface photo signed by evans and almost got his head crushed
 
I made a thread on this not too long ago (http://forums.sherdog.com/threads/i...eeting-a-ufc-mma-fighter-story-share.3257201/)

But I'll just copy and paste my own answer, and I believe I win:

I was in Vegas, staying at Hard Rock, the day of the TUF finale where Mitrone got KOed by Nelson. Was about 2AM, I go into a club (forgot the name) and as I am entering, Matt Mitrione is leaving. I just say hi, and have a quick chat. Poke fun at him a bit for the KO. Anyway, I go party, leave the club at around 5 and go back to a bar in Hard Rock. Run into Mitrone again, but he is with Jeremy Stevens and Chris Lytle this time around. Everyone is blasted, and I talk with them about the stock market (went to school for finance, work[ed] for a bank trading). I see Matt Mitrione chatting with a chick and I stand up atop my chair and flex the guns, and yell "Matt, stop being a creep to the lady.. I think she wants a real man" and jump down from the chair. Mitrione then comes over to me, squeezes the back of my neck and almost kills me. Tells me to go fuck myself. Was a good, fun time.

(Please note, I was only joking with Matt Mitrione. Not trying to get myself killed, folks)

Another silly story is I ran into Babalu Sobral at Disneyland, Orange County, right after he got cut from the UFC for holding a choke too lang. I literally bumped into him walking around a corner, said sorry, and then realized it was Babalu, running around with his daughter (I assume she belonged to him). I chatted with him about MMA, then realized he had just been cut. Following which I blurted "man, that's fucking bullshit what they did to your contract." He then looked me in the eyes.. looked down at his daughter.. then looked back at me. And then I apologized for having a potty mouth. He rolled his eyes, and we then parted ways. Ruined my whole Disneyland trip. :(
 

Whichever Sherdogger did this.

EDIT: Oh, you said fighters.
 
I've said so many stupid things to pro fighters that I don't even know where to start.

One of the worst was the time I that I didn't say anything.

I come into the gym for a couple of classes, walk around the corner and there's Hendo, just leaning against the front desk like a boss.

I signed in and stood there, just kinda looking at him for what felt like about 30 seconds trying to think of something to say and then just walked away into the training room like a tard.

I did the same thing with Robin Williams when I saw him at a bookstore.

I'm not super shy. Just super stupid.
 
I personally asked Erick Silva to change his camp. The problem was that Josuel Distak was at his side at the time...
 
"What's your record?"

I said it to a guy who I hadn't ever met before, at a party at my house. It was a holiday party for my band at the time and there were probably 50-60 people there, this guy I didn't recognize came with people I didn't recognize either, but it was my house and I was trying to be social. In small talk I found out he fought, told him I was an MMA fan, asked where he trained, what was his base , etc,
"what's your record?"
"4-17"
... I had absolutely no idea how to reply to that, however I instantly wished I hadn't asked and made a mental note never to ask an amateur or local level fighter their record again.
I also got the feeling that the guy was looking to pick up a "w" that night, should anyone find themselves in a disagreement with him, so, without eye contact, and casually, I kept an eye on him until he left the party maybe an hour or so later, (as it was my house and I was friends with most everyone there)

Weird conversation, strange dude.

For every fighter we see that is 13-0, 16-1, 23-3.... There are fighters balancing things out on the loss side, somebody loses in pretty much every fight.

My first jiu jitsu teacher asked what would happen if I fought Royce and video taped my reponose of I'll kick his ass. This was in 97. Didn't know he had just signed for him to come and do a seminar. Then before I rolled with him he played the video.
Glad he can take a joke :(
 
I was at UFC 141 in Vegas and went to one of the after parties, JDS and Urijah Faber were sharing a table with us. When JDS walked up I stood up and squared off with him and did the little finger point to the ground thing that he does. I thought he would laugh it off and think it was funny, but he gave me a menacing glare and I quickly took my seat again. We were sitting next to each other all night, separated by his wife, but he was pissed and didn't really say much to me. It was a super awkward night. He was a dick about it to be honest, I bring this up whenever someone waxes about what a nice guy he is. He is not.

I told kalib Starnes I enjoyed his UFC fights.

He smirked and said thanks like he didn't believe me.

This was after he got cut.
