You can punch Raging Al Iaquinta in the face all you like but don't you dare boo him.
The UFC lightweight took a close decision victory over Jorge Masvidal at last night's UFC Fight Night 63 in Virginia but the bout will be remembered less for the mixed martial arts action and more for Iaquinta's post-fight diatribe.

We don't think he's cemented himself as a fan favourite in Virginia.
