half the troublemakers<\/a> in the UFC, but it was Lev Sarkisyan and Joilton Lutterbach who turned things on their head during the event\u2019s pre-fight press conference, kicking off a silly little brawl that got everyone laughing.<\/p>\nVideo from MMA Fighting captured the moment Lev Sarkisyan pulled the ol\u2019 Nate Diaz and threw a water bottle at Joilton Lutterbach. Lutterbach responded by getting up, throwing a front kick, and ripping off his shirt. UFC welterweight contender Carlos Prates was in between them and quickly made his escape, hooting and laughing. Lutterbach jumped on a table, only to immediately fall off.<\/p>\n
Jean Silva got in on the action \u2014 not to fight or stop the fight, but to floss dance.<\/p>\n
This is perhaps the least serious brawl we\u2019ve ever witnessed in MMA. The stage was packed with so many UFC killers completely desensitized to violence, and they all just laughed and laughed as things progressed. The charade ends with Sarkisyan and Lutterbach hugging it out and starting country chants with the crowd.<\/p>\n
A lot of the promo for Hype Brazil has had a similar zany feel. Jean Silva and Bryce Mitchell engaged in one of the most over the top faceoffs we\u2019ve ever seen, literally going head to head and pressing forward like a truck push at the county fair.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will choke you again,\u201d Silva declared, referencing their UFC 314 fight that saw Jean tap Bryce in the second round.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to brush your teeth,\u201d Mitchell replied.<\/p>\n
At the presser, Silva jokingly picked up a chair like he was about to throw it at Mitchell and jokingly kicked him. Mitchell responded by laughing and throwing a hug. Underneath all the machismo, these guys are bro-ing out hardcore. We\u2019re at unheard of levels of hangin\u2019 with the bois in Brazil.<\/p>\n
Those lucky enough to be in Rio de Janeiro right now can get tickets to the event for 100 reals, or $20 U.S. dollars. Everyone else will have to pay $30 to watch the event on Triller TV.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Things got wacky down in Rio as Hype Brazil rolled into town for their hybrid grappling \/ bareknuckle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":529176,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,33601,638,82],"class_list":["post-529175","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-latest-ufc-mma-news","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529175","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=529175"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/529175\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/529176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=529175"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=529175"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=529175"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
