Bryan Battle couldn’t help but laugh at a recent rumor claiming that he had been both fined and banned from competing in Paris following his win over Kevin Jousset in September.

After scoring an impressive second-round KO to extend his unbeaten streak to three, Battle delivered an all-time post-fight promo that had the live crowd in France ready to riot. Shortly after, an account on X impersonating popular MMA news outlet @SpinninBackfist shared a post claiming that ‘The Butcher’ had been permanently banished from The City of Light and hit with a quarter-million dollar fine for badmouthing the French people after smashing through one of their own.
