This gave a hilarious moment to the UFC fans, and many billed it as karma as ‘The Fresh Prince’ had previously snubbed Felder. However, everyone dealt with this incident well, as Rowe himself commented on the post with a laughing emoji.

‘The Fresh Prince’ is a product of the Dana White Contender Series. He fought his first UFC fight at UFC 258 but suffered a unanimous decision loss. However, he bounced back into the win column with a stunning knockout win in his second fight last year. Rowe bagged his second UFC win today.
