In case you missed it, there was a tender moment on the first episode of “The Ultimate Fighter 31” this week when Nate Jennerman introduced viewers to his lovely family.
Jennerman, a lightweight prospect out of Roufusport in Milwaukee, was selected to Conor McGregor’s team and matched up against UFC veteran Roosevelt Roberts in the first fight of the season. But before they threw down in the octagon, the show gave us a mini-profile on Jennerman, who got emotional when talking about his wife, 3-year-old son, and 6-month-old daughter back home in Sheboygan, Wisc. He was seen crying in the “TUF” house while looking at a picture of his family, which also includes a three-legged dog.
“The hardest thing is just not having my wife and my kids here,” Jennerman said. “I just miss my family a lot. I like to be around them.”
There’s nothing wrong with a man missing his wife and kids, but UFC standout Renato Moicano saw this and, well, he was having none of it. Check out his hilarious take on Jennerman clipped from his Twitch livestream (via Twitter):

“Ah f*ck, the guy’s crying on the f*cking first episode. F*ck you, my friend. This guy gonna lose. One day without the family, and the guy already crying. He ain’t about the life. First f*cking day you crying on show on TV? Look, his dog only had three legs, bro.”
It turns out Moicano may have been on to something as Jennerman did end up losing by 8-second knockout to Roberts.
“Money Moicano” or “Mystic Moicano”? 🤔
