The UFC fighter compared the prisoner swap to hypothetically exchanging NFL superstar Tom Brady for ‘Bobby Boucher’, a character played by Adam Sandler in the movie ‘The Waterboy‘ who serves as the Water boy for the Louisiana college football team.
Brunson certainly has a knack for bringing out the most peculiar take on any topic in a way that no one would anticipate.
