‘Wtf Is Wrong with this Dude?’- Caleb Plant Hilariously Trolls Famed MMA Reporter Ariel Helwani

Former IBF super middleweight champion Caleb Plant took to Twitter and roasted famed MMA journalist Ariel Helwani. Chiefly, their initial reaction kicked off during fight week when Plant was gearing up to face P4P GOAT Canelo Alvarez. Ariel Helwani was reporting on the ground and ran into Caleb Plant, where both men exchanged a botched handshake.

Helwani ended up retweeting the video of the failed exchange between himself and Plant to garner some reactions on social media. He went so far as to say that he botched the handshake on purpose and walked away as the winner of their interaction. Helwani gave the interaction a 10-7 as per combat sports’ judging metrics, a figure that Caleb Plant ended up disagreeing with.

Never one to be outdone, Caleb Plant took to social media and responded to Ariel Helwani. He trolled the host of ‘The MMA Hour’ and shared his immediate reaction to their initial run-in.

Despite the banter, it’s clear that both men have a light-hearted outlook on the entire situation.

A look back at Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant

Alvarez vs Plant was a historic fight that saw all the super middleweight belts on the line for the very first time.

On the other hand, Saul Alvarez held the WBA (Super), WBC, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight titles to his name.

By the end of the contest, one man would leave as the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion in the history of boxing. In the end, it was Saul Canelo Alvarez who scored the eleventh round TKO after dropping Plant on back-to-back occasions. Alvarez was working on landing a specific counter set the entire fight and finally found it a home in the championship rounds.

Plant came in as the underdog on the lines and was down on the judges’ scorecards at the time of the stoppage. Despite the loss, Caleb Plant’s stock saw an uptick in the eyes of fans and everyone is curious to see where he goes from here.
