What is the greatest lost on translation moment in combat sports?

The obvious UFC ones are Wanderlei and Yoel, but I’m sure there are lots more. It doesn’t have to be a language barrier so to say, as long as it’s funny and awkward. By that rule, Mike Tyson’s “spinal” comments count.

Poor Wandy, In front of all those fans and with poor English, his first official introduction to American MMA fans is that he wants to fuck the shit out of their current champ.

I’m Hispanic and understood his broken English perfectly.

It was homophobic. He was saying no for gay Jesus, as in he only believes there’s ever been a heterosexual Jesus.

The uproar was justified

One of my favorites but more of a Freudian slip than a lost in translation moment…

But when Jon Jones said he beat Cormier “Off of Steroids”… rather than phrasing it without implying that he ever took Steroids to begin with lol

It’s like saying something stupid like I didn’t beat my wife THIS TIME… rather than just saying I never beat my wife lol

I guess it doesn’t count as “lost on translation” but it’s still a funny quote due to how dumb it sounds :joy:

I was coming to post “No forget Jesus,” but Wanderlie wanting to fuck chuck was better. Wonder if he meant to say he was going to fuck up chuck?

Oh shit. I’ve seen that video a million times. Two things I never noticed before: the shit eating grin on Dana’s face, and Dana only catches the chair after it bounces off his face (you can see it pop his head back a bit).
