UFC heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic called out AJ for a fight on Mayweather vs McGregor under card. This content is protected AJ responded using McGregors famous line. This content is protected Stipe tells him exactly who he is.. This content is protected LOL
Miocic earned $690k in his last outing. AJ earned $19m. It's pretty obvious why Miocic is calling AJ out here...
Miocic was actually respectful to AJ when he called him out.. He said AJ is a beast and he's the best boxer currently.. his call out was a friendly one but AJ still roasted him lol. So he's switched his attitude towards AJ.
Miocic only has 100k followers on twitter. AJ literally has more than 10x as many followers.. but apparently most the world think he's the baddest man on the planet lol.. NO, most the world don't know who he is.
And you nailed it - a shameless attempt at PR piggybacking and trying to get more followers. Expect more of it.
All these ridiculous call outs are telling me is that the myth of the UFC overtaking boxing is exactly that....a total myth. Boxing is where the money is
AJ is like the new Maywather.. People mention his name to stay relevant and get some shine of his name. Ward did it after beating Kovalev too. Yesterday GGG vs Canelo press conference took place and even Oscar Dela Hoya mentioned AJ in that presser. This content is protected The look on Warrens face when DLH gives AJ props lmao!!
I didn't know who Miocic is before he called AJ out but i'm generally not interested in guys rolling on the floor in tight pants.
Thats exactly why he called out AJ.. So he becomes more popular. Loads of people now know who he is because of the call out.
