UFC lightweight contender Beneil Dariush recently stated that he is the worst bully at the gym where he trains with the likes of middleweight Marvin Vettori and others.
In an interview with The Schmo, Darius stated that Vettori hates losing and at times trains harder than usual with his sparring partners. Dariush went on to call himself the worst bully in the Kings MMA gym by saying:
"Marvin is a mad man. I think we trained and sparred on Tuesday, then he calls me like, 'I don't like it. Can we spar again?' I was like, 'Bro? Spar?' And we ended up sparring again and working little things. Him and I feel like every single practice, if we end up going at each other, it's a competition. Man does he hate losing. So, just because I know how much he hates losing, it makes me wanna beat him more. Just so I can rub it in his face. Everybody is always like, 'Hey, you don't talk much.' But man, with my friends, I might be the worst bully in the gym."
