Mike Malott REACTS To Viral KO, Joaquin Buckley Dissing Dana White, Ready for Step Up in Toronto,
What was said
"Doesn't mean we we went in with, you know, zero banged up or, you know, didn't go in there without being a little banged up. didn't go in there without facing adversity and having to overcome things throughout, you know, camp or the week. I mean, I had freaking staff all last week."
UFC fighter Mike Malott said he went into his bout after dealing with health adversity in the prior week, telling the show: “I had freaking ‘staff’ all last week” (auto-captions render the word as “staff”; he appears to mean staph). Malott framed it as an example of performing without everything going perfectly, rather than as an excuse.
