Chris Daukaus is one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC’s heavyweight division. The fighter from Philadelphia is a former police officer. However, he doesn’t miss a chance to mix some humor here and there. This time, he made sure to involve former Olympic Gold medalist Kayla Harrison into the mix.

In a hilarious Tweet, the #7 heavyweight at the UFC made his followers go into a frenzy as he announced the arrival of Harrison into the UFC. “UFC signed Kayla Harrison, you’re welcome and I have no sources,” Daukaus Tweeted.

This Tweet left his fans in a state of confusion. However, he later disclosed the true motive of the Tweet with an even more bizarre one.

“Fart came out weird and that’s usually the tell tale sign,” Daukaus Tweeted when a fan asked him how he came up with the news.

Currently, Daukaus is the #7 ranked fighter on the UFC heavyweight roster. The Philadelphia native made a great first impression on his fans with a fantastic debut knockout win over Parker Porter back in 2020. Since then, Daukaus was able to amass a four-fight winning streak.

However, ‘The Black Beast’ Derrick Lewis snapped his winning streak just last month at UFC Fight Night 199: Lewis vs. Daukaus.
