UFC Fight Night 96: Alex Oliveira taunted Will Brooks for allegedly insulting his family and team

After defeating Will Brooks in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 96 in Portland, Oregon, Alex Oliveria proceeded to taunt a fallen and obviously hurt "Ill," much to the chagrin of Brooks, who stood up and threw his mouth piece at him.

According to "Cowboy's" post-fight interview, Oliveira stated that his antics were due to the fact that Brooks had allegedly insulted his mother during the pre-fight weigh-ins after he called him a "motherfucker." While that isn't necessarily an insult directed toward ones mother, Alex spoke to UFC's Megan Olivi backstage to explains why he mocked his fallen foe.
