China’s Wang Cong wore face paint replicating comedian guide character the Joker to weigh-in for her struggle in opposition to Gabriella Fernandes on Saturday – a lot to the confusion of the Brazilian.
Cong, 32, tossed an imaginary coin earlier than pretending to shoot a gun, within the vein of the DC Comics supervillain, earlier than her UFC Battle Night time bout in Macau, China.
Fernandes, 31, wore a bewildered expression earlier than shrugging her shoulders and asking Cong “what?”.
Cong, whose nickname is ‘The Joker’, has had a powerful begin to her UFC profession after securing two first-round finishes.
Fellow flyweight Fernandes is seeking to construct on her victory over Carli Judice in June, having misplaced her first two bouts within the promotion.
On the undercard, English flyweight Lone’er Kavanagh makes his UFC debut in opposition to Peru’s Jose Ochoa, after earning a contract through Dana White’s Contender Series in August.
The occasion is headlined by a bantamweight conflict between Brazil’s Deiveson Figueiredo and Russia’s Petr Yan.
