Now divided opinions in this clip were quite expected. But for UFC and MMA fans, finding out Derek Brunson has reacted to it was quite funny in itself.

The 39-year-old was last seen inside the Octagon almost a year ago against Jared Cannonier which the American lost in the second round as he got relentlessly attacked by Cannonier‘s elbows. Currently, the 39-year-old’s next fight is set up against Dricus du Plessis when they face head-on at UFC 285. The duo will be headlining the Prelims before the main card sets off.
