Paul Felder looks to have taken offense from Aleksandar Rakic’s tweet on his dream commentary team for the UFC fights and hits back at him.
The former UFC lightweight division star now turned color commentator was left insulted when he saw Rakic’s retweet to Michael Bisping who said that he would be at the UFC 270 working at the ESPN MMA sportscaster desk.
The Austrian tweeted, “If it’s you, @Jon_Anik and @DominickCruz working I’ll definitely will watch the fights without having to mute them… #facts”, to which Felder retweeted saying, “Just say what you gotta say. Is this a third grade crush? Tell me you don’t like my commentary and I’ll tell you some of your fights suck.”
It seemed as if Rakic had taken a dig at ‘The Irish Dragon’ when he hadn’t mentioned Feder in his tweet. Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier‘s names were also left out so it could be possible that Aleksandar Rakic was poking and trying to create beef.
However, it was Rakic‘s response to Felder’s tweet that showed that there were no shots fired as he said, “I don’t know why you would think that this was a shot at you Are you commentating that card with Bisping? If so, I look forward to hearing your analysis which I always enjoy! Also like how you do post fight interviews! Much respect.”
Felder then later apologized for taking the light heavyweight fighter’s tweet the wrong way. “Awesome man. Last thing I want is a guy like you mad at me! scary dude. I misunderstood my bad.”
Paul Felder looks to return to the UFC under two scenarios
Paul Felder who officially retired from MMA in May with a record of 17-6 isn’t hurrying to compete again but said that he would return to the UFC under two specific scenarios.
The former lightweight contender last fought Rafael Dos Anjos losing the bout via split decision but Felder taking the fight at a 5 days’ notice is incredible in and of itself.
Felder told MMA Junkie Radio, “There’s like two scenarios. Obviously the ‘money fight’. For some reason, if Conor just hates my guts again and wants to fight me, okay sure. I’ll throw on the old MMA gloves to get back in there to change my life and teach him a lesson, but other than that, no. The other one was – Sean Brady actually texted me the other day and he’s like, ‘Would you come back out of retirement for a fight at the Wells Fargo with all of us?’ “
Felder always looked forward for a fight at his home soil Philadelphia and if the UFC did in any case, organise a fight there, Felder was all in. But for now, the former fighter continues to be a color commentator.
