The undefeated Fury FC prospect says Smotherman’s corner provoked his post-fight taunt
Alderete recently revealed the details of their verbal exchange after the fight. Smotherman had claimed to have never heard of Alderete before their bout. The latter made sure to remind the former UFC fighter that he would never forget the name.
“He said he doesn’t know nothing about me,” Alderete told MMA Fighting. “He doesn’t understand the hype… I ran up, and I told him, ‘I told you you were going to remember the name today,’ and I mean he just crashed out. They dragged him out of the cage. He runs back in, tries to sneak attack me, the funniest sh*t of all time.”
Alderete also defends his crotch grab celebration following the win. The 19-year-old claims that Smotherman’s family and friends were flipping him off during the fight. He doesn’t regret returning the favor after his win.
“These dudes, all his family and friends were standing up on the chair flicking me off,” Alderete added. “One dude’s raising his stuff at me, right? He’s doing a crotch grab at me… and I’m like, you know what? F*ck ya’ll. So, I give a lot of birds, and then I crotch grab them and oh now I’m the bad guy… I have no regrets on that sh*t.”
Alderete (6-0) is undefeated in six outings, with five finishes since making his debut last year. Meanwhile, Smotherman (12-8) was released from the UFC last month on a three-fight skid. “The Baby-Faced Killer” went viral for passing out after making weight for his scheduled UFC 324 bout against Ricky Turcios, which was subsequently cancelled.
