While Fighting, Simpson Has Heard Boos, Wife’s Screams

Jul 26, 2011
Aaron Simpson (Pictured), on “The Savage Dog Show,” discussing the boos he heard from the crowd while fighting Brad Tavares at UFC 132:

“I heard it. I can recall hearing it. I hear certain little things. Like every once in a while I hear my wife yell out, which is kind of crazy. I hear her screaming. I’m like, ‘Oh, there’s Kendra.’ But it’s weird some of the things you hear, and sometimes you don’t hear anything. You walk out of the fight and you don’t remember any of it. But yeah, you hear [boos] and you want to pick it up. They’ll get you going sometimes. I’m happy if they boo if they’re not happy with the action, but at the same time, they’ve got to understand the fight. They’ve got to understand kind of what’s going into it and the background of it and who the two fighters are and stuff like that. But I appreciate it. I appreciate them voicing their opinion.”
