Watch Ion Cutelaba’s Sinead O’Connor moment, ripping up photo of UFC on ESPN+ 8 opponent Teixeira
SUNRISE, Fla. – Ion Cutelaba came away from the UFC on ESPN+ 8 ceremonial weigh-ins with the best moment Friday.
It’s not clear if Cutelaba knows about the time Sinead O’Connor created a stir on “Saturday Night Live” back in 1992 by tearing up a picture of Pope John Paul II, shocking the cast, crew and sensors. Hell, the dude wasn’t even born yet.
But he channeled O’Connor’s controversial moment nonetheless. Cutelaba (14-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC) stepped on the scale armed with a picture of his light heavyweight opponent, Glover Teixeira (28-7 MMA, 11-5 UFC). Then he ripped it in half before letting out a big yell and flex.
Teixeira took it in stride, though the two had a couple words before exiting the stage.
Check out the moment in the video above.
UFC on ESPN+ 8 takes place Saturday at BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., near Fort Lauderdale. The main card streams on ESPN+ following prelims on ESPN and early prelims on ESPN2.
