A UFC or MMA weigh in can be a spectacle in itself much of the time. Whether it’s fists flying or a UFC wardrobe malfunction, weigh ins can be quite entertaining. It can be a result of months of anticipation, or possibly a heated rivalry that’s ready to boil over, but things can definitely get crazy.
Former UFC strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk is known for her intense looks when she comes face to face with her opponent. Also, UFC star Ronda Rousey used a similar form of intimidation during her weigh in face offs.
Of course there’s also the opposite of that. UFC middleweight contender “Smile-N” Sam Alvey kills his opponents with kindness and smiles before getting into the octagon with them. And of course there’s the nicest and most polite fighter in MMA, “Super” Sage Northcutt. Both of these top UFC competitors are so respectful you’d never know they were getting ready to fight.
With that said, the MMA weigh in staredown just got pushed to a new level. A fighter needed to make weight and needed to strip down to nothing in order to be within the limit. However, this wasn’t a case of using the towel, get your clothes back on, then go face off. Instead, he decided to keep all of his clothes off and do a weigh in staredown completely nude.
This is no UFC wardrobe malfunction, this was a fighter who purposely stepped to his opponent with everything exposed. Intimidation or not? You be the judge. Check it out.
