That’s absolutely no way to treat a man who gives you a bouquet of flowers.
On Saturday night, UFC light heavyweights Sean O’Connell and Ilir Latifi engaged in perhaps the least intimidating staredown in MMA history.
O’Connell, who is an absolute master of the weigh-in gag, stepped up his comedy game yet again by handing the powerful Swede a bouquet of flowers during the obligatory face-off.
However, if you thought this was a sign that the fight would also be a friendly affair you would be completely wrong as Latifi floored his opponent with a tsunami of a haymaker just 30 seconds into their bout at UFC Boston.
Wow!! That's the Sledgehammer right there! Congrats @Latifimma at #UFCBoston!! 🇸🇪 https://t.co/Wu21vD12ZW

The result saw Latifi improve his UFC record to 4-2 while O’Connell’s position in the promotion is somewhat under pressure after going 2-3 inside the Octagon.
