UFC fighters and fans react to MMA fighter Marce Rojo's exotic post-fight celebration

UFC flyweight champion Brandon Moreno was ecstatic when his friend and former training partner, Marce Rojo, secured a first-round KO victory against Angel Cruz at Fury FC 76. Following his win, Rojo climbed onto the cage and held on sideways, which was reminiscent of the Marvel superhero Spider-Man.

The UFC released a short clip of Brandon Moreno reacting to his former teammate's win and post-fight celebration. In the clip, Rojo referred to himself as 'Spider Chelo', where 'Chelo' means cellist or cello when used as a noun in Spanish.

Fans and fighters reacted to Rojo's win with the following:
