The press conference leading up to the big championship title fight was a source of major controversy. Every single reporter wanted to ask Alex and the reigning champion about the rivalry they had posted all over social media.
Both men had said they were going to kill the other opponent in the cage. And the athletic commissions were starting to think about cancelling the bout altogether. But Prince Ali paid an absurd amount of money to bribe the athletic commission to keep it going.
Even amongst the increasingly violent and visceral trash talk, Alex thought nothing of it. Continuing to fight word for word on social media with the champion. And finally, the day came when Alex walked out to the cage while the song "Die MF Die" played in the background.
