MMA light heavyweight Joel Bauman might be the most honest person on the planet -- the fighter made a jaw-dropping revelation in an interview this weekend ... blaming a recent loss on herpes and NFTs.
"King Bau" was inside the cage after a win at Fury FC 61 on Sunday ... when he opened up about a fight that didn't go his way earlier this year.
"Last fight I was tired, I was exhausted," he told the reporter.
Bauman said an NFT project he has been working on was to blame for the exhaustion .
