Fans react to Chan Sung Jung’s incident about his gloves

The 36-year-old former UFC fighter mentioned that he wanted to keep those gloves. However, since a fan stole one, he threw the other in public. He said, “I was walking backstage with the gloves in my left hand. While I was high-fiving the audience during the walk back, I kept my left arm folded on purpose, because I had the gloves in my left hand. But then someone held on to my wrists, and took one of my gloves. Dude. Seriously? I really wanted to keep those gloves, but one went missing. So I was like, “whatever,” and just threw the other one into the crowd. Whoever took my glove, you’ve crossed the line. Those were my last pair of gloves.” 

His remarks on the incident went viral online, with fans angered by the ungrateful act of the glove-taker.

• Hope the person who stole his gloves gets hemorrhoids
• this sh*t has bugged me since the first time someone posted about it. i hate knowing he didn’t get to keep his last pair of gloves. it’s devastating.
• And why didn’t security approach the dude and take the gloves back?
• When he was walking with them like that I knew someone was gonna steal them. When he threw the other one I just figured he didnt care. Shouldve done what oliveira did when they took his classes, dude hunted the guy down lmao.
• That’s so fu*king sad but how in line with his character to just let go of the other glove to the fans.
• I hope the person that stole it gets locked up in a mental institution and has to watch Rose vs Carla on repeat 24 hours per day.
• I feel like if he stopped and pointed that guy out then they could’ve gotten it back but now is too late
