UFC’s Olivier Aubin-Mercier was initially set to face off against Gilbert Burns over the weekend. However, the fight was cancelled after the UFC’s medical team refused Aubin-Mercier the chance to cut weight for his weigh-in. With that in mind, the fighter was still present for the recent fight night and offered a hilarious moment that now has fight fans talking.
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) hosted UFC on FOX 28 inside the Amway Center in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday, Feb. 24. Olivier Aubin-Mercier was not able to compete on the night’s card. However, the fighter was in attendance.
From the Amway Center seats, Aubin-Mercier received a moment of fame as the FOX broadcast briefly caught a glimpse of the fighter. The UFC competitor decided to take advantage of the moment by reenacting UFC superstar Nate Diaz.
Nate Diaz recently made headlines for lighting up a joint during a live FOX broadcast at a UFC event. Aubin-Mercier decided to mimic the fighter by using a birthday whistle instead.
