'Chaos' has managed to make himself more marketable with his bombastic trash-talk, but seems to be creating more enemies than friends.During the same episode, Volkanovski backed up 'The Hangman' by saying:“If you’re going to play that, own it. Right? Own it, and don’t cry about it. Because I’ve heard him cry about, ‘Oh, I’ve got to do this, I’ve got to get security guards,’ and all that. Well, don’t f***ing play that game then. Like, what do you want us to do?”Covington's recent conflict with Jorge Masvidal showed that some fighters are willing to be physical outside of the octagon. His departure from the American Top Team was another example of his gimmick rubbing fighters the wrong way.Whether it was for views or a need to inform fans, Volkanovski and Hooker can be added to the list of fighters who don't like 'Chaos.'
