There were no excuses or apologies from Juan Adams after his comeuppance courtesy of Arjan Bhullar at UFC on ESPN+ 9..
Adams talked trash to Bhullar in the lead-up to Saturday night’s fight and took his loss in stride, or at least that’s the way it seemed by looking at his Twitter account after dropping a unanimous decision.
Part of the game, i talked the Shit and lost, it’s part of the sport. Mixed martial arts and i didn’t wrestle. Good job to the opponent, and if you’re wondering…i haven’t changed for shit 😂🤷🏾♂️🙌🏾
In the buildup, Bhullar accused Adams of being a lazy worker in the gym, more interested in the afterparty than the grind of training. Adams got the party started by dissing Bhullar’s Olympic wrestling credentials.
When the two actually met in the cage, Bhullar’s wrestling brought him an edge when Adams bullied him around the cage. Adams pushed Bhullar to the limit but wasn’t able to land any telling blows over 15 minutes.
It wasn’t the most scintillating action ever to take place in the octagon, but it got the job done for Bhullar, who picked up his third UFC win.
Adams leaves the Great North with his first pro loss, which follows a gutsy TKO over Chris de la Rocha in his debut. Despite the setback, he’ll also take off with a full belly, if his post-fight meal is any indication.
Adams is still salty toward fellow heavyweight Greg Hardy, whom he’s repeatedly put on blast in interviews. It appears that will never change – at least until they lock horns.
Oh and also #fuckGregHardy at least i lost the right way😂😂
