However, the fighter who raised their profile most that evening was New Jersey\u2019s David Goldenberg, who improved to 3-0 with a win over De\u2019Aundre Tipton and then proceeded to unleash a wild post-fight interview that revolved around him insulting White.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cHey [UFC executives] Sean Shelby, Hunter Campbell, and who\u2019s the third Musketeer, the bald guy kind of looks like a bloated Mr. Clean?\u201d Goldenberg said. \u201cWhat\u2019s his name?
