‘Is This a Third Grade Crush’- Paul Felder Unleashes on UFC Lightweight Heavyweight Aleksandar Rakic

The former lightweight fighter and UFC commentator lashes out at the light heavyweight fighter Aleksandar Rakic for his comments on the internet. The number three UFC light heavyweight contender recently reacted to Michael Bisping’s post, where he mentioned working at the booth for ESPN’s broadcast of UFC 270.

Rakic’s comment was an indirect jab at the UFC commentators that he cannot tolerate listening. While responding to Bisping’s post he wrote, “If it’s you, @Jon_Anik, and @DominickCruz working, I’ll definitely will watch the fights without having to mute them… #facts.”

However, Rakic’s words didn’t sit well with the ex lightweight fighter. Felder does commentary on the UFC Fight Night events. Hence, he quickly responded to Rakic’s comments.

‘The Irish Dragon’ wrote, “Just say what you gotta say. Is this a third grade crush? Tell me you don’t like my commentary, and I’ll tell you some of your fights suck.”

The Irishman had a decent career in the UFC. Interestingly, he has won over some of the most notable lightweight fighters like Edson Barboza and the current champion, Charles Oliveira.

Unfortunately, ‘The Irish Dragon’ hung his gloves forever in 2020. He was on a two-fight skid when he retired from the sports. However, Felder recently talked about a fight that might bring him out of retirement.

‘The Irish Dragon’ lost both his previous bouts in 2020 and hung up his gloves. Ever since then, he has been focusing on his commentary work. However, he tends to return to the UFC octagon if he gets a fight with his fellow Irishman and former two-division champion Conor McGregor.

In his interview with MMA junkie, Felder said, “For some reason, if Conor just hates my guts again and wants to fight me, OK sure. I’ll throw on the old MMA gloves to get back in there to change my life and teach him a lesson, but other than that, no.”

‘The Notorious’ is a star of the MMA universe and it is evident that a fight with him brings in a hefty amount of payday for his opponents, too. Also, it garners massive attention from the combat fans. Hence, many fighters opt for a slugfest with the legend.
