A little TMI perhaps?

MMA fighter Joel Bauman was feeling generous post fight, and he over shared some pretty personal information during his post fight interview.

The MMA fighter knocked out Reese Forest over the weekend in the second round of their match at Fury FC 61. Following the fight Bauman revealed that he has herpes and had two outbreaks within a week.

“Last fight, I was tired. I was exhausted. I’m about to launch this NFT that’s gonna change the fight game and I put in 30 all nighters before that fight.

I had herpes before that fight, two ooutbreaks in a span of a week. I’m here, I’m healthy, let’s go.”

Watch his shocking admission below:

There is no other sport like Mixed Martial Arts. You get post fight interviews like this one, and when the adrenaline is over-flowing, you just never know what’s going to be said. Apparently that leads to some serious over sharing.

I personally don’t want to get into a fight with anyone with an STD.
