MMA Fighter Tells Random Guy To Google His Name, Random Guy Knocks His Ass To The Floor
Excuse me while I soak in all the irony.
Mixed Martial Arts fighter Cody Gibson, who is known in the community as “The Renegade,” got nailed square in the face at a Las Vegas bar last weekend after telling a random dude, “Google me, bitch.”
The random guy wasn’t going to take shit from some no-name MMA douchebag, so he offered up a right hook that sent Gibson to the floor. It escalated when Gibson composed himself before charging at the guy and bodyslamming him. The two brawled for a short time before they were separated.
Here is a video of the fight, which appears to be shot on one of the last remaining Nokia flip phones in service:
Gibson told Sherdog Radio he immediately became worried he was going to lose his MMA job because of a stupid bar fight:
“When I woke up this morning, I definitely had that pit in the bottom of my stomach, like, ‘Holy crap. Could I be that guy?’ You know, who gets fired over some stupid stuff. I didn’t think that it would be on TMZ… I have 1,800 followers on Twitter. I’m not [Clayton] Kershaw. I’m not [Derek] Jeter.
If anything, Gibson should be fired for bringing shame to the entire MMA community. When a professional fighter gets pummeled by some random drunk dude at a bar, you know the MMA is in a bad state. There is no way for the MMA to spin it–one of its fighters is kind of a bitch. It only adds to the hysteria that Gibson prefaced his fate by uttering one of the lamest phrases anybody of no-to-low significance can say: “Google me.”
Had the random guy actually taken the time to run an internet search on him, he would’ve seen that only hours before, Gibson lost to Manvel Gamburyan at the MGM Grand at UFC 178. Although, it’s probably safe to say that this fight had to be the low point of Gibson’s career..

He did eat that punch like a champ though…
11 years ago at 2:21 pmI don’t care if you’re an MMA fighter or not, probably not a great idea to pick a fight with a dude that looks to have roughly 60-80 pounds and 6 or 7 inches on you. Little guy deserved it.
11 years ago at 2:27 pmYeah I trained MMA (mostly Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) for 5 years and I was around 6’4 200 and there were still guys smaller than him in the sport who could kick the shit out of me. The guy was clearly drunk, took the punch fine, and immediately shot for a takedown. If the fight wasn’t broken up, he was probably gonna slam the bigger guy on his back and kick the shit out of him. I’m sure the Cody Gibson kid is a huge douche, but he got invited to fight in the UFC 3 times and can kick your ass.

11 years ago at 4:15 pmShit I thought the bigger guy was the fighter at first. Anyways, seems like the little guy has a bit of a napoleon complex
11 years ago at 3:05 pmWhere does “The Renegade” train? The 1920’s school of “put up your dukes” style fighting? 10-8 average dude on my card.
11 years ago at 3:06 pmClassic bitch move going for the grapple in a bar fight. what are trying to prove? you used to wear a onezie and loved to touch boys?

11 years ago at 5:09 pmSaying “google me” was a cry for help. GDI
11 years ago at 3:47 pmWhile I appreciate watching grown men fight for large sums of money, this Affliction-tee-wearing scourge needs to whither on the vine. It just empowers way too many geeds.
