The ESPN broadcast team got more than they bargained for in a pre-fight interview with Ike Villanueva.
Villanueva was asked about X’s and O’s for his upcoming fight with Vinicius Moreira at UFC Fight Island 8. But he had another topic on his mind.
“They’re like, ‘Tell me about your opponent, what you think about him,’” Villanueva told What the Heck. “I said, ‘F, bleep bleep bleep,’ then my [opponent’s name].”
News of Moreira’s verbal warning from the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency had just broken, and Villanueva couldn’t help himself.
