Al Iaquinta Tweets Fire: 'Hey UFC Go F*ck Yourself'
Al Iaquinta Tweets Fire: 'Hey UFC Go F*ck Yourself'
UFC lightweight Al Iaquinta knocked out Diego Sanchez then blasted the promotion itself on Saturday night.
Al Iaquinta is hitting new levels of keeping it real.
The hard-hitting New York native returned from a two year layoff on Saturday night to hand deliver brutal destruction to Diego Sanchez in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night 108 in Nashville. "Raging Al" closed the distance early and laid out the former lightweight title challenger with a pair of right hands that left Sanchez slumped over on the canvas. It was a quick night of work inside the cage for the Serra-Longo product, but his night of handing out the business was far from over.
In his post-fight interview with Brian Stann the Long Island native further exposed his ongoing tension with the UFC. The reason for Iaquinta's absence started with a contract dispute and The Ultimate Fighter alum demanding to be paid what he believed he deserved. Iaquinta threw a jab or two on the microphone, but dropped the biggest bomb shortly after the main event between Cub Swanson and Artem Lobov concluded.
Iaquinta took to social media to issue one more message to the UFC, and it was as stern as they come.

With the drubbing of Sanchez and a hefty right hand to the promotion itself on Saturday night, Iaquinta continues to keep the real talk rolling strong.
*Update*
Since Iaquinta is a solid combination puncher, it wouldn't have been right to just leave one big shot out there without ripping something else behind the power.
