Solid fighter. Couldnt come off as more of a douche

[@SergioMendoza760]

That seems to be his goal. From my perspective at least, I don’t think he did this unintentionally or like we caught him with his pants down. This guy strikes me as someone who does not give a shit what the fans think lol

[@OfLaSoul]

This guy is definitely the type to call people "snowflakes."

[@cold485]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@patrickalred2839]

This guy makes me want to fight him

[@spookyflite9651]

You enjoy getting the shit kicked out of you?

[@jackhammerside]

Could you actually fight him? Or would it more realistically be a bully beat down?

[@lccody1537]

he’d KO you

[@FactsandReelsForall]

Do u know how strong these dudes are lol

[@rasmusquavangsfar9447]

If colby and gaethje had a son

[@YouDOntSayThat.]

Justin is a bottom

[@cold485]

😂😂

[@mumkeymumkey4078]

Begged Dana for 50k then went to go panhandle interviewers. Bet you he turns around and says theres nothing wrong with fighter pay in a year or two.

[@kingcrustytut7544]

LMFAOo not panhandle the interviewers

[@SergioMendoza760]

He’ll likely be making more money in a year or two, the more he does shit like this the more people watch. Whether that’s to hate on him for being a dick, or to appreciate him for just being honest. I think it’s kinda genius tbh whether he did this intentionally or not I think Charles found his way to making more money.

[@jesterscupcake]

Lol dude is a loser so it's hardly surprising. When he faces a real opponent, he's gonna get starched.

[@RobinatorsPlace]

I don't blame him. Tired and broke is a hard life to fight

[@dhooter]

Lots of us work hard and are scraping by. This guy I'd be willing to bet he has to work a job and train. Past three years we've all went backwards in the financial situation

[@beaualoevv]

he made it to the ufc, he ain’t broke. maybe less tattoos, more food…

[@jesterscupcake]

Lol maybe if he applied himself more he wouldn't have to fight for an income. Or does that logic only apply for the people he doesn't like in society? 🤔

[@YamatoTre]

@@dhooterWe’ve been going backwards for the past 24, assuming you’re old enough to remember back that far

[@maano7909]

​@beaualoevv the ufc dosent pay nearly as much as you think it does if you say something like this

[@steve2daE]

Jokes on Radtke. Dana didn't give him $50K bonus that night.

[@RobinatorsPlace]

Didnt sound like a joke

[@Bill_Dippertly]

He’ll get it

[@omgsvilla2]

Really not a likable guy, I like the smack talk and confidence but at the end of the day if you want to get paid and have people wright about you then you have to respect the media

[@Jojoe291]

Bruv he’s not gonna get paid either way. Ufc is the worst career to make money

[@joannakroupa9115]

Can you “wright”?

[@hulkman245]

Guy is very entitled

[@Combatsportscoverage]

liked his fighting style but this interview rubbed me wrong.

[@RobinatorsPlace]

He didnt like it either

Only here bc chael

[@iMeRKBaTMaN]

lol guy tried to get the media to do a whip round for him. Then basically gets shown the door 😭😭

Is that how you saw it?

[@alancortez7087]

Ur not paddy pimblett bro 😂😂

[@DonjiPicudo]

Even Paddy was shat on for that 😂

[@simpleyboy0831]

Can’t believe they gave Molly the bonus over radtke or gorimbo.

[@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf]

Exactly. The UFC literally fed her *another* low-level opponent and Molly and 'em act like she won against an undefeated fighter.

[@simpleyboy0831]

@@RemingtonMiles-sr9uf it was against someone she already beat too

[@CrawlingNYourSkull1]

so lame, she has more money than these figthers!

[@loz1991]

​@simpleyboy0831 there's no way grown adults like you are still crying over molly. If you didn't see that as an impressive performance then you're a blatant hater who just cries over molly and paddy like weird incels

[@tenacminotauro9541]

Molly's last opponent didn't even get 50k for her armbar unlike Molly 😢

Don’t worry, Dana’s ALWAYS has cold pizza waiting for these chumps.

This guy shooting himself in the foot

[@luckydc3761]

He's Billy "remember the name" Makmoud's teammate. The least popular contender in the UFC. No surprise this guy's personality sucks too.

[@777KZL]

Give him the money so he can get more SWEET tattoos on his chest

[@jota55581]

Too many 🏳️‍🌈 in the comments being critical of this guy !

[@andresmaldonado7356]

Seems like a jerk, would have passed on questions for him since ultimately it helps his exposure

[@Dr.gobshite]

lets hope he learns to read the room better

[@deja_snitty4100]

Lmao, the single clap at the end.

[@andrewvilla6425]

Dude a try hard

[@enigma1247]

But was anything he said actually wrong tho....he did deserve a bonus.

Oh well dude you went to a boring decision against blood diamond and beat absolute nobody

Congrats.‼️ this man went to the well and improved massively to be where he is at rn.. Saw him train in FL, knew this 2-0 start was coming since the opponent announcements. Lfg congrats, u deserve it champ.

[@therezzman4806]

You guys need to stop calling every fighter under the sun "champ". Champs have belts, this bum has nothing

[@Alfie223]

Champ where 😂

[@jesterscupcake]

Lol no he doesn't.

[@Jojoe291]

⁠@@therezzman4806ufc fighters are already elite and he’s above average ufc fighter. That’s like calling the average NBA player a bum

[@lookatmycloset]

⁠@@Jojoe291 how is he above average he’s not even ranked over 50, he’s below average if anything lol we will see where his skill truly lies and if this was nba he would be a bench player getting mins during trash time

[@xaviersmeeton4301]

I’m getting WWE heel vibes from him people taking it too serious

[@jesterscupcake]

Maybe if he quit saying stupid shit he'd get more sponsorship opportunities. Oops, forgot his side hates consequences.

[@_JM-]

guy is just tired of putting in work and not getting nothing in return. we’ve all been there. he’s probably gonna regret it when he comes down from the high of winning but you gotta give it to him, the man speaks his mind lol

[@J_Ghotier]

The way he looks, his antics inside the cage and after the fight, the middle finger to the camera and the way he talks, etc. reminds me so much of Justin Gaethje 🙌 He really does exude Gaethje vibes and has some similar looks/features (especially the eyes and his demeanor & delivery) too!

[@Dreweldeenknives]

It’s true

[@deadmoney5580]

They're both german

[@Dreweldeenknives]

[@kingcrustytut7544]

Hes the wish version of Gaethje, insulting to compare the two

[@J_Ghotier]

@@kingcrustytut7544 you’re aware you can compare something and similarities w/ it being a direct to direct or apples to apples comparison right?! 🤯🤦‍♂️ You’re a very black and white, this or that, bird-brained type thinker. Open up your mind a bit and use some of that brain capacity that God gave ya. Of course, he’s no Gaethje and I wasn’t even comparing their fighting styles. I was comparing a few other specifics and similarities. If they both had goatees and wore glasses, I could say they have that similarity w/o implying they are one in the same or a full direct comparison. You’re what the French call Les Imcompeténts!
