The former two-division UFC champion seemingly didn’t like it and trolled the UFC. He also had a suggestion for them. Replying to the video, he said, “Is that the only shot yous had of him “landing” in that fight? Didn’t land. He just bowled forward while I’m on one leg there. Garbage! It’s 1 a piece and any push other wise is for the bin.”
