Meanwhile in the Czech Republic MMA fighters have disrespect for the time honored tradition of weigh-in streams.This guy really is a huge asshole.

Given the mixture of disciplines and the numerous ways a fight can be lost in the UFC, the margin for error is as slim as it gets in all of the combat sports.
