Fans thought it was hilarious. Even the interviewer couldn’t control his laughter. Gamebred is Jorge Masvidal’s fighting promotion, and we are yet to receive his thoughts on this hysteric incident. Here are some of the interesting reactions from the MMA fans:

Many people thought it was amusing. One fan missed old-school sponsors in the UFC, as the promotion no longer allows fighters to get their own sponsors while in the UFC octagon. Anyway, Alex Nicholson earned a brutal KO win and earned the fans with his comical promotion of his sponsor in the post-fight interview.
