IBJJF Nogi World Champion (2014) A.J. Agazarm saw his MMA record fall to 3-2 at Bellator 243 on Friday night, with a Unanimous Decision loss to Cris “Sunshine” Lencioni. Agazarm reacted bitterly.
He refused to shake hands even after referee Mike Beltran rightly insisted.
“Stay on social media,” explained Lencioni. “You’re a little man-baby.”

Agazarm then crashed the winners-only, post-event press conference and complained about judge Douglas Crosby.
There was a judge that shouldn’t have been there,” said Agazarm. “He’s had relationships with me. He’s had relationships with my opponent. He’s definitely not impartial. I don’t know what business he had being on the side and judging that fight. That should be immediately examined and the fight should be deemed as a draw.
Crosby, who is about 80 times better a judge than Agazarm is a fighter, was the sole official to give Agazarm even a single round.
Agazarm later offered an apology on his social network.

But he couldn’t leave it alone.

A.J. Agazarm’s behavior raises questions. Is this all an act to put asses in seats, or is that really who he is? And if it’s the former, does it work? Do you want to see Agazarm fight again, if only to see him get whipped? Or does it make you wish he would simply go away, maybe become a top-flight Dwarf Tosser, and disgrace that sport instead?
And to end on a positive note, Lencioni pushed his MMA wins streak to 3, but earned two wins in Chael Sonnen’s Submission Underground.
