1. Conor McGregor is undoubtedly one of the most notorious trash talkers in UFC history. He has had countless memorable moments, but one that stands out is his comment to Jeremy Stephens: “Who the F**k is that guy?” It was a classic McGregor moment that left everyone laughing.
2. Chael Sonnen, also known as Uncle Chael, is no stranger to trash talking. One of his funniest moments was when he claimed that the Nogueira brothers were trying to feed a bus a carrot. He hilariously said, “There was a bus that pulled up to a red light and ‘Little Nog’ tried to feed it a carrot, while ‘Big Nog’ was petting it.” Classic Chael!
3. Michael Bisping is considered one of the original gangsters of UFC trash talking. While facing Luke Rockhold in a press conference, Bisping mocked Rockhold’s motivational speech by saying, “Sounds like the worst self-help book you’ve ever read. Conceive. Believe. Achieve. Shut the **** up.” Even Dana White couldn’t help but laugh at that one.
4. Dominic Cruz may have a calm demeanor, but he knows how to sneak in some great trash talk. Before his fight with TJ Dillashaw, when Dillashaw claimed he was done talking to Cruz, the quick-witted Cruz responded, “You can’t be done talking to me, dummy. We’ve still got 5 minutes left of the interview.” It was absolutely hilarious.
5. Nate Diaz, known for his toughness inside the octagon, is also famous for his trash talking. After his first fight with Conor McGregor, when Joe Rogan said, “You just shook up the world,” Diaz coolly replied, “Aye, I am not surprised, m*********s” on live TV. Even Joe Rogan couldn’t contain his laughter.
6. Colby Covington is known for crossing the line with his trash talk. After defeating Damian Maia in Brazil, the Brazilian crowd booed Covington, and he didn’t hold back. He took a dig at the entire country, saying, “Brazil, you’re a d**p, all you filthy animals s**k!” It certainly shocked the whole UFC.
These fighters have left an indelible mark in the world of trash talk. Love them or hate them, their wit and humor have added an extra layer of excitement to the sport. What sets them apart is that they not only talked the talk but also walked the walk inside the octagon. Their incredible skills and performances backed up their trash talking, making them true legends of the UFC.
