âHeâs got all the makings of a champion,â Faber wrote in a caption. âExcept for self control. Spoiled kid for life. Congrats [Tsarukyan], too much cushion for a hospital visit.â
Faber added â#pudding,â a reference to their pre-fight trash talk, which saw Tsarukyan accuse the UFC Hall of Famer of being out of shape. In response to being called a âfat ass,â Faber replied, âListen, buddy, the proof is in the pudding. I love pudding.â He also countered by mocking Tsarukyan flaunting his affluent lifestyle on social media.
At the RAF 8 post-fight press conference, Tsarukyan said he didnât intend to carry Faber off the stage, but RAF executive Izzy Martinez still isnât happy about the incident.
âI donât like it. I donât like that,â Martinez said. âYou might as well punch him so he can protect himself. Pushing a guy off the stage is pretty dirty to me and Iâm not a big fan of that.
âI didnât like it on my end, even though it was viral. But I donât have to like everything. Iâve learned that. Itâs a promotional thing and it is what it is.â
