"Starts going down my throat" - Bellator's DeAnna Bennett starts off media day with NSFW jokes

The No. 4 ranked women's flyweight DeAnna Bennett is scheduled to face women's flyweight champion Liz Carmouche at the upcoming Bellator 294 event on April 21. 'Vitamin D' seems to be in high spirits, which was evident at the recently concluded media day.

The 38-year-old kicked off her interaction with the press by cracking an NFSW joke about the microphone, leaving the interviewer in splits:

"I'll bring this up [the mic] , I'll try not to be inappropriate with it. I'll put it down here [and] not put it close to the face... Can’t bring this [her head] down here, and the sun comes out, and then it just starts going down my throat, and then it's like that's not the content they came here for."

The MMA fighter didn't stop there and took the joke a step further, claiming that her nickname 'Vitamin D' has nothing to do with her joyful personality:

"My fight name is Vitamin D for a reason, and it is not because of my cheery personality. As much as I'd like to tell people that's the case, it's really not. It's because I'm literally just two seconds up here and I'm like, I deep-throat the microphone now right?"

Check out Bennett's comments below:

Bennett and Carmouche first shared the cage in 2020, with 'Girl-Rilla' emerging as the victor via third-round submission. As per Best Fight Odds, Carmouche is the -400 favorite over Bennett (+385 underdog) for Bellator 294.
