Have you ever wanted to be in the cage of the octagon to hear everything that the fighters say during the battle? "Untranslatable puns" of the fighters in the ring.
Have you ever wanted to be in the cage of the octagon to hear everything that the fighters say during the battle? If it were possible to give black belts for talking during a fight, then undoubtedly the Diaz brothers, Nick and Knight, would receive it first. Thrash talk, or "untranslatable puns" is an integral part of their every fight. Despite the fact that, as a rule, fighters do not conduct conversations in the ring, funny, and not very situations, still happen periodically. You can read a few of these verbal skirmishes, which remained out of the reach of microphones and our ears, below.
"When Josh Koschek tried to run a leg pass and knock me over, but instead ended up on his back during the fight at UFC 74, he looked at me, about a minute before the end of the fight, and said, 'Congratulations George!'
George "Rush" St-Pierre, UFC Welterweight Champion
"Pat Militich and I were Jason Black's corners at UFC 77, and Pat was all on edge shouting commands to Jason between rounds, at the very end, before the start of the round, Pat yells at him in full urine:" What are you going to do with him ?! "and Jason calmly replies looking at Pat -" I will invite him to dance with me, "Oh you stall to see Pat's face at this moment!"
Rory Markham, UFC fighter
"After I sent Olaf Alfonso to the floor, I managed to hit him 3 more times at WEC 19 before he stopped moving. I went back to my corner and said" I just killed him "then I returned to his body, he was still lying motionless, I said: “Come on boy, breathe brother, breathe!” 30 minutes later, they carried him away on a stretcher, and later said that he would be fine. And after that, someone dares to say that ANYONE can do this job ?!"
"Razor" Rob McCulley, WEC fighter
"During one of my first fights, which took place in Atlanta, my opponent's mother, Philip Peterson, screamed throughout the fight, 'Come on, kick him in the balls!'

“Once, I was the cornerman of David Heath, a veteran of the UFC, he was in a very tough fight. So we give him instructions between rounds, he gets up from his chair and asks:“Do you happen to have a bubble gum pad?”I was in a complete stupor. after that."
Mike Chesnolevich, MMA fighter
“It was the second round of my fight at UFC 94 against Nate Diaz. He was kind of behind my back, holding my neck, constantly shouting in my ear:“209 Bitch !, 209 Bitch!”I looked at the clock, there were 3: 12 to the end of the round. Later, I told my coach: “Look, this guy doesn't even know the exact time! He yelled at me "209 bitch, 209 bitch!" And then my coach told me that 209 is the area code for Stockton, where Nate is from. I laughed for a long time after that."
Clay Guida, UFC fighter
"When I fought Randy Couture at UFC 68, I looked at the big screen, the moment Randy took my back, I wanted to see where his face was, to hit him while he was choking me from behind. I said," Well, are you having fun? "He laughed back and hit me again."
Tim Silvia, former UFC champion
“I was insanely angry because Andre Pederneira continued to deliberately hit me on the knee instead of the leg, after he hit me in the knee again, I responded with a counterattack with a very strong right to the head, which opened a cut on his forehead. After I saw the cut, I yelled at him: "Come on, hit me in the knee again Yo … your mother!" Moments later, the fight was stopped due to the dissection and the abundance of blood."
Pat Miletic, former UFC champion
"Once I put on my wife's gloves for a fight, and when I was choking my opponent from behind, I whispered in his ear:" I soul you with my wife's gloves."
Travis Kalanok, StrikeForce fighter
"I knocked all the shit out of my opponent, sitting on top of him (GnP), he held out his hand to me and said in a barely lively voice:" Give me the pain on the arm. "I just continued to finish him off on the ground and won the TKO fight."
Gilbert Melendez, StrikeForce Champion
"Between round three and four, during the fight at UFC 100, I walked into my corner and said, 'I pulled my groin, I don't know if I can finish the fight,' to which my coach, Greg Jackson, yelled at me," I don't care ! This is how champions are made! Go and hit him with your groin! "After the fight, I thought for a long time, how should I hit him with my groin?"
George "Rush" St-Pierre, UFC Welterweight Champion.
