recognize this is anything but a controversial topic. Most fight fans would agree that it’s intelligent for fighters to make callouts in their post-fight interviews. And yet, it still feels like a rare occasion when a fighter makes a call out. What gives?
I’m not entirely sure why fighters are hesitant to make a callout. Many say it isn’t in their personality. Perhaps some believe it’s a sign of disrespect to call out another fighter. Others don’t seem to care who is put in front of them. I’m not writing this to figure that out. That feels like a bottomless pit as there are many different answers fighters can give to that question.
