Weighing the UFC Macau early hours of this Friday (22) was marked by an unusual and terrifying moment. The Chinese fighter Wang Cong, known as 'The Joker', entered the stage with his face painted green and red, in the image of the iconic DC Comics villain, the Joker. Brazilian Gabi Fernandes, his opponent, was greeted with a stare that looked more like a scene from a horror movie.

The staredown between the two fighters was, without a doubt, the most memorable moment of the ceremony. Gabi Fernandes' expression, faced with the characterization of Wang Cong, conveyed a mixture of surprise and respect. The Chinese woman, in turn, maintained a threatening posture, reinforcing the image of the villain she had chosen for herself.
