"Never smash another man's cannoli": Internet in stitches as BKFC fighter gives cannoli out to opponent and smashes it right after

The drama never seems to fade away in WWE as fighters keep the audience entertained with their tussling mindsets and passionate sportsmanship. Something similar happened in the BKFC Knuckle Mania V, where a fighter brought cannolis for his opponent and ended up smashing it on his head.

The Italian knuckle fighter, John Garbarino, brought a box of cannolis for his opponent, Apostle Spencer. He was seen handing one to others in the lineup, including popular MMA personality and BKFC's co-owner, Conor McGregor. They thought it was just a nice gesture until he created chaos by smashing the cannoli's icing on Spencer.

Users also revved up to react to this incident hilariously after the clip went viral on X.

X-users react hilariously as BKFC fighter smashes a cannoli on the opponent

First rule of BKFC fight club (via Bowie8412373/X)

Snatching a man’s favorite food calls for a war, no matter who does it! What the fighter did to his opponent wasn’t something acceptable, especially if it's a cannoli. The bold gesture from the Italian fighter was shocking.

Conor's expressions (via royal_bobby24/X)

Incidents like this are nothing new in fighting championship events, but Connor’s expression stole the show. The UFC legend spiced things up with his amusement. Only true boxing fans know how brutal Connor can be.

First reaction (via ikhandle/X)

While the fighters were supposed to be the center of the attraction in the clip, Connor sniffing the food stole the limelight like a pro. He seemed to be enjoying the turn of events too much. That might be something he would have done as well in his prime.

Just to do that (via bringbackrich/X)

The clip is enough to boil the blood of warriors for sure. After all, who hands over something delish just to smash that the next second? It was enough to trigger the audience, who would have reacted the same way as Spencer.

Italian disrespect (via EdMoneys/X)

What the fighter did to his opponent is a classic example of Italian disrespect! Offering some food and snatching it away, that too something as auspicious to the locals as a cannoli, is the worst kind of provocation one could indulge in.

Mood swings (via sephmma_/X)

Knuckle Mania fighters are full of surprises! Most of the time, these unexpected events do nothing but trigger their opponents. Fans hilariously comment that what this guy did is no less the mood swings of their girlfriends!

He won (via lilchhotu/X)

The BKFC fighter won the fight even before entering the arena, as he got the attention of the entire internet. Most importantly, he seemed to have impressed Conor more than anyone!

Master of Instigators (via K_U_F_S/X)

Connor McGregor has been the trigger behind several ruthless fights already, and he has mastered the art of instigation before a match. He seemed to be too composed, not even surprised by John Garbarino's conduct.
