However, a Kick streamer&#8217;s latest antics have rubbed the entire MMA fanbase the wrong way, with UFC referee <a href=\"https:\/\/mmasucka.com\/..\/..\/news\/marc-goddard-names-top-officiated-fights-of-the-year\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marc Goddard <\/a>joining the pushback.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Internet Influencer Throws Down the Gauntlet at Alex Pereira\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The incident came at a Misfits event when Polish internet streamer Maciej P\u0142aczek approached Alex Pereira and his team for what seemed like a fight callout. However, beyond the forthright challenge, Maciej also used incendiary language to address &#8216;Poatan.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yo Alex. Me and you, let\u2019s have a UFC fight, bro. I\u2019m ready. Don\u2019t be a b*tch boy\u2026Come on, sign the contract.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The former light heavyweight champion and Plinio Cruz both remained calm, while the streamer and his cameraman were removed from the scene by Pereira&#8217;s security guards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre you okay?

UFC veteran Marc Goddard also joined the online melee.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Goddard Lashes Out at Disrespectful Comments<\/p>\n<p>Soon after that incident broke out on the internet, Marc Goddard took to his X account to address the incident. And the former MMA fighter refused to soften the blow by calling the incident what it was: disrespect played off as a joke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What an absolute sh*t stain of a \u201cboy.\u201d Here\u2019s the thing, these kids will keep this up till there\u2019s a real FAFO moment to let them know in the real world this doesn\u2019t fly.

Although there&#8217;s no doubt theatrics and drama rule the internet, knowing when it simply drives engagement and when it crosses a boundary is crucial.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For Alex Pereira&#8217;s part, however, the two-division UFC champion doesn&#8217;t seem too bothered with the stunt. The Brazilian&#8217;s sights are firmly set on his upcoming heavyweight showdown against Sergei Pavlovich at UFC 335. After a rather humiliating loss to Ciryl Gane at UFC Freedom 250, Poatan will definitely look to cement his place on the heavyweight roster with the December clash.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marc Goddard has opened up about a recent viral prank on Alex Pereira, which he believes has truly&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":928125,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[11038,49,48,641,318758,638,82,640],"class_list":["post-928124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-alex-pereira","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-marc-goddard","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928124","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=928124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928124\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/928125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=928124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=928124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=928124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
