After losing his fight against Alexander Volkov and looking overweight during his weigh-ins, light heavyweight Alexander Romanov was subject to brutal trolling by fans. Most of it was on how he looked different, especially since he appeared to put on weight in his latest appearance. Continuing this trolling, another UFC fighter also joined in. Light heavyweight Zac Pauga joined in on the mocking as he made a hilarious comparison between Romanov and a female fighter.
Mocking Romanov’s physique, the 35-year-old joked that if women’s UFC strawweight Mackenzie Dern had to wear a sports bra, even the heavyweight should be asked to wear one. This drew hilarious reactions from fans in the comment section of the post. Yet a majority of them also came out in support of Romanov.
