Controversy and Fighter Quotes
The event has not been without controversy. Misfits has faced criticism for providing a platform to Tate, a self-described misogynist who denies a series of ongoing criminal charges in multiple countries. Furthermore, champion Chase DeMoor has complained publicly about having to make the cruiserweight limit of 200lbs for this heavyweight title defence, his seventh fight of the year.
Ahead of the clash, both fighters issued bold statements. "I am here to fight," said Andrew Tate. "I know I am going to win... Chase is the guy they gave me. So, I am going to beat him up. And after I beat him up, I will beat up whoever else they want me to beat up."
Champion Chase DeMoor responded with equal confidence, promising to "punish" his opponent. "I'm going to go in there and I'm going to make him feel every single punch, every single word," DeMoor stated. "I'm gonna embarrass him in front of the whole world. So, he's going to be a laughing stock."
