This year’s pandemic may have prevented the media from getting up-close access to fighters, but that didn’t stop MMA Fighting and other outlets from finding a way to bring the sport’s always-entertaining personalities into your home.
Via the magic of modern technology and the UFC’s abundant virtual media days, fans were still able to get a steady diet of colorful soundbites, lively trash talk, and straight-up ridiculousness from their favorite fighters.
Some of 2020’s best interview moments include Jared Gordon explaining how friend and teammate Belal Muhammad is willing to donate any body part should he get injured, how Molly McCann got the nickname “Meatball,” Derrick Lewis’ many moods, how KB Bhullar’s love of dinosaurs led to a traumatic childhood memory, Stipe Miocic calling for a scrap between media members, Robert Whittaker’s secret to fighting in a different time zone, the strangest DM Jessica-Rose Clark ever received, Michael Chiesa’s Sasquatch hunt, and much, much more.
