Whoever runs the UFC’s twitter account, earned their crust with this phenomenal reply.
BBC Sport tagged the UFC in a tweet sharing their story on Rangers’ Bilel Mohsni losing the plot and attacking Motherwell’s Lee Erwin on Sunday. (see video below)

The BBC’s tweet suggested that the repugnant violent outburst from the Rangers was comparable to something you might see inside an Octagon during an MMA fight.
MMA took the best part of a decade to break free from the “human cock-fighting” tag from the “no-holds barred” days of its early incarnation. Dana White and his merry band of Zuffa big wigs spent a lot of time (and money) reforming MMA and transforming it into a legitimate sport.
The UFC twitter account responded to the tweet in style while letting them know they don’t take too kindly to having their sport compared to an utterly contemptible act on a football pitch.
@BBCSport @ufc We're afraid it lacks the discipline and technique of a true mixed martial artist. He should prob stick to football.
