Israel Adesanya was also featured, but unfortunately could not be phased, and instead made a joke about a recent Tinder match.<\/p>\n<p>Several of these fighters competed at last weekend&#8217;s fight night in Moncton, while Cormier, Adesanya and Knight all fight at UFC 230 this Saturday night inside New York City&#8217;s world famous Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n<p>Watch these world-class fighters scream like frightened children in the video at the top of this post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPENN.COM<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 11\/1\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1057648891334705152 You&#8217;d think it would be difficult to scare a UFC fighter.
