Jack Della Maddalena's coach is not amused by Ian Machado Garry's attempts to goad his fighter.
Machado Garry (16-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) called Della Maddalena's title-winning performance over Belal Muhammad in Saturday's UFC 315 main event "sloppy" and is confident he'd outbox the new champ. During fight week in Montreal, official backup Machado Garry also got his son to give Della Maddalena (18-2 MMA, 8-0 UFC) a pack of M&M's as a joke to distract him from his weight cut.
Ben Vickers, Della Maddalena's head coach, fired back at Machado Garry.
"We're not in this business to be celebrities, and Jack said in his post-fight speech, we just want to win fights and be the best," Vickers told Submission Radio.
