This is absolutely no way to treat a man who gives you a bouquet of flowers.
On Saturday night, UFC light heavyweights Sean O'Connell and Ilir Latifi engaged in perhaps the least intimidating staredown in MMA history. O'Connell, who is known for weigh-in gags, stepped up his comedy game yet again by handing the powerful Swede a bouquet of flowers during the obligatory face-off. But if you thought this was a sign that the fight would also be a friendly affair you would be completely wrong, as Latifi floored his opponent with a tsunami of a haymaker just 30 seconds into their bout at UFC Boston. https://twitter.com/UFCEurope/status/688878343802859520 The result saw Latifi improve his UFC record to 4-2 while O'Connell's position in the promotion is somewhat under pressure after going 2-3 inside the Octagon.Explore more on these topics:
