Few subsets of people are less dangerous to tick off than an MMA fighter. Capable of breaking down the human body in over a dozen ways, MMA fighters are equal parts weapon and human.

During the weigh-in for a bout between amateur MMA fighters, one combatant decided to press his luck by
mouthing off about his opponent's wife's physique."His b*tch is fat, bro. Give her some dieting tips. All them rolls," the arrogant fighter said to his opponent.
Insults between fighters aren't atypical during weigh-ins, but making derogatory remarks about one's spouse crosses the line, even for MMA standards.
As the old proverb goes, though, mess with the bull, you get the horns.
MMA Fighter Knocked Out After Insulting Opponent's Wife
The loud-mouthed brawler's bravado didn't translate well to the caged octagon, where he was pummeled by the fighter he taunted.
Viral footage of the amateur bout shows one fighter avenging his wife's honor by landing heavy strikes to the face and head of his downed opponent.
Ultimately, the disrespectful fighter was defeated via knockout.
"Let's go, baby! Talk about my wife now!" the winning fighter shouted toward the camera following the impressive beatdown.
UFC Fighter Gets Payback on Conor McGregor
The aforementioned amateur MMA bout was not the first time we've seen a fighter get folded after cutting too deep with insults during the fight's promotion.
During the build-up for the lightweight division clash between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov, McGregor made several distasteful comments.
The Irish brawler insulted Nurmagomedov's heritage, religion and appearance multiple times.
McGregor called Khabib's father a "quivering coward" and labeled the fighter as a "glass jaw rat."
The Irish star also promised to "expose" Nurmagomedov as a "phony" and "fake."
His cruel words came back to bite him. Nurmagomedov brutalized McGregor en route to a submission victory at UFC 229.
The bout is widely regarded as McGregor's lowest moment in the UFC, as he was bloodied before tapping out in the fourth round.
Following his successful title defense, still enraged by McGregor's previous comments, Nurmagomedov hopped over the octagon wall and began fighting members of McGregor's team in the crowd.
Six years later, the explosive altercation is still widely considered one of the most shocking moments in UFC history.
