Gallagher responded with a firm lecture for his heckler, who he believed was one of his foe&#8217;s coaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re a coach,&#8221; he said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2019\/06\/james-gallagher-confronts-heckler-bellator-london-press-conference-jeremiah-labiano-scuffle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MMA Junkie<\/a>). &#8220;Let your fighter do his thing. You sit and shut your (expletive) mouth. It\u2019s not your job. You coach him, you train him. You sit there, and shut your (expletive) mouth. These people are brain dead, aren\u2019t they?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After the press conference, James Gallagher actually approached Labiano&#8217;s teammate, at which point a brief skirmish ensued.

Even though I don\u2019t like what you said. I just like people to have a set of balls, put it on the table and say what they feel. I have respect for that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut what I absolutely hate is cowards. Like a little (expletive) who tries to yap behind the scene but doesn\u2019t want to be up there doing it for themselves.
