Vanessa Demopoulos is making quite the noise in the UFC. Along with racking up victories, ‘Lil Monster’ is also going viral for her victory celebrations in the octagon. When Demopoulos won her fight at UFC 270, the fighter jumped into the arms of Joe Rogan to celebrate. Similarly, after her recent win at UFC Vegas 57, the strawweight jumped into the arms of Michael Bisping. This resulted in a hilarious back-and-forth between the trio.

A reporter asked Demopoulos, “You’ve been in the arms of Joe Rogan. You’ve been in the arms of Michael Bisping. Whose embrace is better? ‘Lil Monster’ replied, “Joe’s was way better. Even though both of them I forced it upon them. Neither of them had an option, but yes.”
