“Cause he’s a bum. That dude was talking wild. I had to show him that there’s consequences sometimes. There’s some bad motherf—kers out there and you don’t want to wake them up. “You should have kept your mouth shut. I probably would have beat you up in the second round. You guys are welcome for ending that dude.”
Masvidal told UFC color commentator Joe Rogan after the fight.
Here are some of the MMA Fighters' reactions:
