Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports ><\/a><\/p>\nAs part of a crazy Saturday inside the Wollongong Entertainment Centre, hometown hero Sam Goodman also had to be separated from his Argentinian rival by security, with the pair engaging in a physical altercation during their own fiery face off.<\/p>\n
But undeniably the greatest chaos came when Asofa-Solomona \u2013 aka Australia\u2019s new crossover star \u2013 squared off with Wallace, who has already admitted to losing 16kg for Sunday\u2019s footy fight.<\/p>\n
Asked initially for his thoughts by Main Event host Ben Damon, Wallace took aim at the former Melbourne Storm prop and his entourage for having travelled to both Sydney and Wollongong events this week by private aeroplane.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut no private jets can save you now,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n
To which, when given the microphone himself after weighing in, the Storm premiership winner replied: \u201cWe\u2019ve landed the plane \u2026 now we land the punch on his f***ing chin\u201d.<\/p>\n
There was then further drama after Wallace initially failed to take his shirt off when hitting the scales for the ceremonial weigh-ins, with a shirtless Asofa-Solomona quickly demanding he do exactly that for the face offs.<\/p>\n
When Wallace obliged, the fighter dubbed \u2018Big Nasty\u2019 then playfully whacked him several times in the stomach, as if to suggest the former Maroons prop was carrying a little extra padding around his middle.<\/p>\n
For the record, Wallace weighed in at 119.56kg, while NAS was 134.46kg.<\/p>\n
Asked afterwards about what, specifically, Asofa-Solomona had said about his shirt during their exchange by the scales, Wallace said: \u201cF*** me, he tried to take it off the c***.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he\u2019s throwing stones in glass houses, I can tell you that much, bro.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as for what was said between the pair?<\/p>\n
\u201cThere wasn\u2019t actually much,\u201d he grinned. \u201cIt probably looked a lot more aggressive, but it was just both of us going \u2018we\u2019re f***ing ready here\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said \u2018I hope you\u2019re ready\u2019. And I said \u2018I wouldn\u2019t be f***ing standing here in front of you if I wasn\u2019t\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m excited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe hype and excitement of that then, \u201cI could\u2019ve gone out there and f***ing jumped in the ring then. It was mad.\u201d<\/p>\n
