PUBLICITY:

André Mascote , it seems, did not like being challenged by Bilal Hassan at UFC Shanghai , held last Saturday (29). On that occasion, the 'Michael Jackson of MMA' used the microphone right after his victory to challenge the Brazilian, who also came out victorious at the event.

In a post on 'X', Mascote criticized Hassan's attitude and stated that his opponent changed his behavior after being given an opportunity to speak in front of the cameras.
The Brazilian also reported that Hassan had avoided any direct confrontation between the two while they were staying at the same hotel, passing by him with his head down.

“Some clown challenged me after his fight. I responded, and then he simply disappeared. Every time he saw me at the hotel, he would walk past me with his head down. Then he grabs a microphone and suddenly wants to talk nonsense. Damn rookies,” said Mascote.

Some clown called me out after his fight. I responded, and then he completely disappeared. 😂

Every time he saw me at the hotel, he'd walk by with his head down. Then he gets a microphone in his hand and suddenly wants to talk shit.

Despite accepting Bilal's challenge, André Mascote will likely not have the opportunity to share the octagon with his rival. This is because the Brazilian failed to make weight for the flyweight division (up to 56,7 kg) and announced his move to the bantamweight division (up to 61,2 kg).
