Our subsequent greatest tweet was an old-school .gif that has survived a number of boards:
“Eight years in the past at this time, somebody threw a skateboard within the Octagon throughout the primary occasion.”
The tweet is a basic edit of Mauricio Rua slipping on a skateboard whereas within the Octagon after which getting knocked out by Ovince Saint Preux. The unique struggle is from a 2014 predominant occasion scrap between “OSP” and “Shogun” that lasted simply 34 seconds.

Our third hottest tweet is everybody’s favourite Stockton, Calif., fighter and his smoke session in entrance of a United States Anti-Doping Company (USADA) worker (extra particulars right here). Briefly, Diaz didn’t wish to give any extra pee to the USADA worker and filmed all of it for the world.

Coming in fourth is a video of Michael Chandler speaking to his son with an ice masks on, simply days after his massacre scrap with Dustin Poirier at UFC 281 inside Madison Sq. Backyard. It’s a name again to him doing the precise factor after his epic struggle with Justin Gaethje.

Our fifth and last hottest tweet of 2022 is one other Diaz clip.
After the shake-up insanity of UFC 279 — however earlier than his pay-per-view (PPV) predominant occasion struggle towards Tony Ferguson — Diaz was speaking with UFC reporter, Megan Olivi, and hastily, he bashed The Rock’s sponsored footwear saying, “these footwear f—-king suck.”
It was an ideal Diaz second and went alongside together with his anti-establishment mindset.
