Bryan Battle Laughs Off $250,000 Chael Sonnen Fine Rumor: ‘That’s Crazy!

Bryan Battle couldn’t help but laugh at a recent rumor claiming that he had been both fined and banned from competing in Paris following his win over Kevin Jousset in September.

After scoring an impressive second-round KO to extend his unbeaten streak to three, Battle delivered an all-time post-fight promo that had the live crowd in France ready to riot. Shortly after, an account on X impersonating popular MMA news outlet @SpinninBackfist shared a post claiming that ‘The Butcher’ had been permanently banished from The City of Light and hit with a quarter-million dollar fine for badmouthing the French people after smashing through one of their own.

Before long, everyone realized that the post was from a parody account, but not before former three-time UFC title challenger Chael Sonnen made an entire video addressing the report as if it were 100% true.

Bryan Battle has a hearty laugh at Sonnen’s expense

Asked about the situation during a recent interview with Damon Martin of MMA Fighting, Battle couldn’t help but laugh at the situation and the fact that ‘The American Gangster’ got duped.

“It caught me off the rip because I knew it wasn’t a real thing, or at least it was something I hadn’t heard of… I was like, ‘That’s crazy.’ I was like, ‘I wonder who gave them this information because normal Spinning Backfist is a reputable source.’

“Then one of my friends pointed out that it wasn’t Spinning Backfist, that was Spinnin Backp*ss. I was like, ‘Oh, blessed.’ I did see Chael Sonnen did the whole video and people were in the comments like, ‘Uh, Chael, you need to check your sources.’ That was funny.

With the win over Jousset, ‘The Butcher’ moved to 6-1 inside the Octagon with five of his wins coming inside the distance, including three knockouts and two via submission.

Report States That Nate Diaz & Jorge Masvidal’s Boxing Match Massively Underperformed On PPV

On a relatively quiet week for combat sports, former UFC stars Nate Diaz and Jorge Masvidal met inside a boxing ring.

Many felt that their rematch earlier this month ended up being a better fight than expected, and the live attendance at the Honda Center appeared to be a good turnout.

But a recent report suggests that despite the event being heavily spoken about, fans were not willing to pay the pay-per-view price to watch it live.

Dave Meltzer stated on a recent episode of Observer Radio that the event did not perform well, comparing it to wrestling promotion Total Nonstop Action (TNA), which has always had a tough time competing against the WWE before the two companies started working together as of late.

“It did horrible on PPV, it did TNA numbers. I’m not exaggerating. I knew it would not do well, but I was absolutely stunned how poorly it did. Nobody bought the fight. People are sick of seeing MMA fighters do boxing.”

Jake Paul & Mike Perry Come Face To Face Ahead Of July 20

Jake Paul returns to the ring this Saturday as he faces one of his toughest tests to date in BKFC star Mike Perry.

Before they can meet on July 20 in a change of opponent for Paul, who was scheduled to be taking on Mike Tyson on this date, the two men came face to face.

As you can expect from two bold characters, there were some certainly unique moments during their conversation. That included, at one point, both men seemingly doing “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan impressions.

The highlight of the entire video was certainly the following quote from Perry, who has always had an unparalleled way with words…

“Your little baby green punches can’t even f****** reach my brain stem bro. I’m gonna dig through your eyeball and find your memories.”

Paul responded in the same way that pretty much everybody else would when being told that by the “King of Violence.”

“Please don’t do that. Please don’t do that Mikey.”

Kevin Jousset Books Home Fight In Paris Against Former TUF Winner

MMA Junkie’s Nolan King reported that Jousset is set to make his third Octagon appearance against The Ultimate Fighter season 29 winner Bryan Battle.

Having competed in Australia and Las Vegas since signing to the promotion, it’s time for “Air” to get the home fighter treatment following his impressive winning streak.
