If anyone is foolish enough to try to heckle MMA stars, then they’d best prepare themselves to be on the receiving end of a verbal beatdown – if not worse.

The trash-talkers in this article discovered the hard way!

Chael Sonnen vs. Regional Fighter

At a Q&A session during the UFC Fan Expo in 2013, Chael Sonnen found himself coming under fire from a regional fighter called Bill Smallwood, who apparently had a chip on his shoulder.

“I’m trying to figure out why people are asking your opinion when you haven’t had your hand raised in two years?” Smallwood said after queuing up to ask Sonnen a question.

As Smallwood continued to ramble on about ‘real talk,’ the state of Oklahoma, and fighters from that area who deserved a title shot more than him, Sonnen finally lost his patience and began to fire back with both barrels.

“Spit it out brother, you’re putting everybody to sleep, man, and I’m about to come over there and whip your *** in a second just to give people something to look at!” Sonnen bellowed at him.

“Here’s real talk dummy. If you don’t get to the end of the line, I’m going to come down there and warm up on you before I talk care of LeBron [James] later tonight, so take those stupid sunglasses off your head, because we’re in a dark room, dummy!”

Smallwood was running out of material fast but kept going anyway.

“I sell *** whoopings, son, not memberships,” he retorted.

“You don’t sell anything, stupid,” Sonnen informed him. “You sell ***-whippings? What is your name again? Who are you?”

Smallwood didn’t respond to that, perhaps because no one had a clue who he was, and the reality was that he only had a 2-3 record in MMA at the time (a record that several years later now stands at just 4-7).

“Tell my room of fans what real talk means,” Sonnen mocked him to cheers and applause from the crowd. “Beat it!”

Matt Serra Reflects On Altercation With Drunk Man That Went Viral

Matt Serra has given some more details on an incident with a drunk man that went viral.

Matt Serra has given some more details on an incident with a drunk man that went viral.

Despite the busy last week or so with all of the UFC 226 as well as TUF 27 Finale news and coverage, former UFC welterweight champion was able to steal some headlines as he got into an altercation with a drunk man in a Las Vegas restaurant. Fear not, Serra took it easy on the man as he harmlessly subduing the man before security intervened and the incident was broken up.

Serra discussed how the situation came to be on the latest episode of the UFC Unfiltered podcast alongside Jim Norton where he would bring up the fact that he and his family were attempting to leave the restaurant when the man confronted him. This is when the Hall of Famer decided to calm the situation down and Serra said he took action in the most gentle way possible after being threatened.

“We’re eating at the cafe and this couple comes in that’s out of their mind drunk,” Serra said (transcript courtesy of MMAFighting). “She passed out the second she was in there. He left, came back, left, but the he started getting really, really nasty to the staff. Cursing, just totally drunk, loud, obnoxious, rude. Then he starts throwing stuff at the waiter as he’s walking by and yelling to the point where everybody is stopping and looking. . .

“I was almost out of there! I was almost in the clear. My waiter is bringing me the check and then he gets up and he goes after my waiter – just a drunk moron and he has his fists clinched. He was throwing s**t at the other waiter, now he’s facing me and my family. So he’s drunk and something’s gonna happen. This guy is hitting him or he’s gonna throw something and my family is behind me, so I stood up and then he directed everything towards me the second I stood up. ‘You! I’ll fight you!’

“So he took his shirt off and the second he took his shirt off, I don’t know if he went to swing but I just neutralized that s**t. I stepped right in, got him around his waist – my wife, she goes, ‘When you went in I thought that you were gonna slam him. You let him down so gently!’ Dude, he just, like, melted when I grabbed him. He folded to jelly. so I got him around the waist, basic takedown. I gave him a free jiu-jitsu lesson.

“I put him on the ground, I mounted him. His mount defense, his elbow escape and his trap and roll were not there. So then the second I got him down I told my sister to film this. So you got it from there and you saw the rest.”

The best part of this story is the fact that Serra was so calm that he wanted the incident filmed and thus, the footage was shot thanks to his sister recording it and later posting it to his Instagram account where it quickly went viral by racking up over 10 million views.

“I took him down, I got a bigger applause then I did in my first GSP fight,” Serra laughed. “The audience erupted. They were still clapping by the time my sister started filming because that dude was as obnoxious as you can get. Yelling, screaming, making a scene, being vulgar. Total f**king d**khead.

“Even though he deserves to get smacked or something, the loser goes to the hospital and the winner goes to jail. I know there was no winning in beating up this guy but he definitely needed to be subdued because he was gonna hit somebody.”

As part of International Fight Week, the UFC decided to induct him into their Hall of Fame while in Las Vegas. There’s no doubt that he has earned the honor.

Video: Matt Serra Wrangles ‘Drunk’ On The Fourth Of July

Matt Serra wasn’t having any of this ‘drunk’s’ nonsense:

On the eve of his Hall of Fame induction Thursday night (July, 5th, 2018), Matt ‘The Terror’ Serra wrangled a ‘drunk’ inside a restaurant in Las Vegas.

The soon to be UFC HOF’er posted a video from his Instagram account showing the 44-year-old in full mount subduing what he describes as an “a**hole drunk who was threatening waiters.”

Check it out:

Serra can be heard repeatedly on the video pleading with the would-be attacker to “calm down” while simultaneously laughing off the ‘drunk’ mans threat of “I’m going to f*ck you up.” According to the former welterweight champ he acted out of instinct when the ‘drunk’ tried to swing on him.

No one was harmed in the incident, and a large part of that is due to Serra’s actions. The former champ promptly handed over the would-be assailant to the proper authorities upon their arrival.

Serra had posted another video prior to the altercation, appearing to show the man he wrangled attempting to wake up another patron at the restaurant.

10 Most Shocking Moments In MMA History

Take a look back at the 10 most shocking moments in MMA history:

The post 10 Most Shocking Moments In MMA History appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Over the past nearly 25 years, the UFC and the sport of mixed martial arts as a whole has provided fight fans with countless shocking, compelling moments, but some memories stick out as much more shocking than the others.

Fighters have had their legs snapped like a twig mid-fight, thrown sucker punches after the bell, and done several other seriously jaw-dropping occasions inside the octagon.

Check out the 10 most shocking moments in MMA history:

10. Paul Daley Punches Koscheck After Bell

It’s kind of funny that punches and kicks thrown within regulation time don’t raise any eyebrows, but one strike errantly thrown after the bell is enough for a lifetime ban.

Daley learned the hard way that the UFC does not tolerate cheap shots. The scene was indeed quite jarring, as no one has thrown a cheap shot so blatantly before or since.

The sucker punch caused complete pandemonium and the fallout forced “Semtex” out of the UFC for good. The scene was truly shocking and caused a great deal of confusion before “Big” Dan Mirgliotta quickly stepped in.

Definitely a shocking moment for UFC fans.
