We have seen all sorts of things happen in weigh-ins, however, the BKFC 24 ceremonial face-offs which happened on Friday were interesting, to say the least. Light heavyweight champion Lorenzo ‘The Juggernaut’ Hunt was to face off against challenger Joe Riggs. Things got wild as Hunt smashed a half-eaten tomato at his opponent Riggs’ face.
Hunt brought along a tomato as a prop for the face-off. He proceeded to bite into it and then shove it into the face of Riggs. This broke out into a scuffle and the two had to be separated immediately before things could escalate further.

Riggs looked shocked and angry as he called Hunt “a f**king c**t”. Hunt seemed unbothered and was seen laughing before he continued to pose for the cameras in the crowd.

Twitter Reacts to the Tomato Incident
Twitter fans were quick to react to this video. It seems that most of them weren’t a fan of what Hunt did. They reacted in disgust and their tweets prove it.
That's just gross. In fairness though, Riggs ought to have been suspicious that the man was just snacking on a tomato during a face off.
