The Moldovan with a soft spot for the Marvel character could barely stay quiet long enough for his translator to relay his words after his TKO loss to Magomed Ankalaev.
Cutelaba told ESPN it was part of his game plan to play possum and counterattack when referee Kevin MacDonald stepped in to stop the fight 38 seconds into the action.
