Joe Pyfer has received flak for comments made earlier this year where he referred to Mexico as a s***hole, and he has recently offered up some clarification on those words. The rising middleweight contender spoke with MMA Junkie at UFC X Radio Row and addressed some frustrations that seemed to exist within him in the wake of Pyfer’s victory over Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 316 in June.
Pyfer was initially supposed to fight Kelvin Gastelum in late March in Mexico City, though. But an illness that Pyfer blamed on travel-related issues in Mexico led to his withdrawal from the bout where he then made the inflammatory comments about the country.
