Saki went mental. Describing the pair as “B-level” fighters, he took to social media to complain about having his title belt removed and to complain about the Mwekassa/Cavalari match. Mwekassa read his comments and responded in robust fashion, leading to a Twitter war between the two which went on for much of Thursday evening, Saki posting from his base in Istanbul, Turkey and Mwekassa firing shots from Johannesburg, South Africa.
Dozens of tweets were exchanged. Here’s a selection of the best from both sides.
(I actually tried tagging Cavalari into the fray last night via Twitter – just for the hell of it – but he hasn’t tweeted since 2011 which meant there was silence from the Brazilian side… so I sent him an email instead. Stay tuned for Cavalari’s comments in the coming days 🙂
