UFC welterweight Charles Radtke is gearing up for a personal showdown against Mike Malott at UFC 315. Radtke has openly criticized Canada, marking it with hashtags like '51st State' across his social media. Emphasizing his identity as the underdog and a heel in the sport, Radtke stated that he takes audience reactions, including boos, in stride. He shared his deep feelings about patriotism, linking his experiences growing up on a ranch and his military heritage, demonstrating that this fight represents more than just a victory to him.
I'm two different people. I am a person outside of this sport, but then in the sport, I am the heel naturally. That's why whenever you see that post-fight speech in Australia people dug it because it was authentic.
I take that to heart. Every year I would change 50 flags going up our driveway. You're going to see the results of it.
