#2. GSP not impressed with Matt Hughes - UFC 63
Georges St-Pierre is one of the greatest of all-time, but he is also remembered for an awkward exchange at UFC 63. After then welterweight champion Matt Hughes defeated B.J. Penn in the main event, St-Pierre was brought into the octagon for a faceoff with Hughes. The faceoff was intended to build interest for their rematch.
'Rush' lost to Hughes two-years prior and earned an opportunity to avenge the loss. St-Pierre, who is not known for his trash-talk, told Hughes that he wasn't impressed by his performance. The line sparked a reaction from fans, which is something the promotion wanted. But, what made it awkward was that the two embraced before leaving the octagon.
This was an awkward moment because it clearly didn't go as the promotion intended. Like recently with Figueiredo and Moreno, the promotion was likely hoping for trash talk or even shoving between the two to generate more interest. St-Pierre has since stated that he felt bad and apologized to Hughes.
#1. Joe Rogan interviews Alistair Overeem after knockout loss - UFC 203
Joe Rogan's post-fight interviews are a great opportunity for UFC fighters to showcase their personalities. Fighters like Conor McGregor, Nate Diaz, and Brock Lesnar have had memorable interviews that led to viral moments. However, fighters have also been interviewed following a loss, which has resulted in awkward responses.
Following his knockout loss to then heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic at UFC 203, Alistair Overeem's interview with Rogan became a very awkward conversation. 'The Demolition Man' was clearly still gathering what transpired and was still confused. Obviously, he shouldn't have been interviewed, especially considering the manner in which he lost.
During the interview, Overeem mentioned that Miocic clearly tapped after he applied a guillotine choke. Rogan then had production replay footage that showed no signs of Miocic tapping. What made it even more awkward was that Rogan had the production crew show a replay from another angle.
