10 Fighters We'd Love to See Kanye West Yank the Mic From

Poor Taylor Swift bore the brunt of the infamous Kanye West Mic Yank.

Perhaps the least deserving of public humiliation by a clearly dubious and unstable man, Swift took the odd encounter with the enigma gracefully.

However, West's weird, weird ways could be put to good use in the mixed martial arts world opposite of the equally awkward men who take the mic. 

Nick Diaz

The king of awkward interviews, Nick Diaz is either the smartest or most ignorant fighter there is today.

His personality has enamored fans who love to hate him or who just love the guy for his "I don't care" attitude, coupled with his exciting fighting style. 

The infamous Ariel Helwani interview is evidence of his best work yet, telling the MMAFighting.com rep "where I'm from, people like (you) get slapped" before going on one of his long, long tangents. 

Josh Barnett

"I plan to rank him amongst the dead, not amongst the living...by tearing him limb from limb, biting, clawing—ripping flesh from his body."

Dude, you know you're just fighting in a cage, right? It's not the zombie apocalypse. 

Josh Koscheck

Everyone's favorite super villain, Josh Koscheck probably never made it to his after party, instead bee-lining his way towards the airport as soon as possible after his decision victory over then-UFC contender Paul Daley. 

Did somebody forget to tell him that he was still inside the Bell Centre when he said that and would most likely run into a disgruntled fan or two?

Brock Lesnar

What's wrong with Bud Light? I love Bud Light. Apparently, Brock Lesnar had a bone to pick with Bud Light and NOT getting on top of his wife after his UFC 100 victory over rival Frank Mir.

You either love or loathe when Lesnar gets to the mic, but you can thank all the showmanship to his days as a former professional wrestler in the WWE. 

Jon Jones

I had no idea that natives of Endicott, N.Y., are predisposed to British accents. 

However, UFC light heavyweight champ Jon Jones proved the lore true when he was recently interviewed before his title tilt with Quinton Jackson for their September tussle. 

Jones spoke with Luke Thomas of SBNation.com—who equally, awkwardly mulled over the idea that Jones was speaking in a British accent to which the 24-year-old said was an homage to his U.K. brethren.

Quinton Jackson

This isn't so much a case to pull "Rampage" off the mic, but more so a case to pull him off of the begrudgingly agreeable reporter. 

James Toney

I caught about 2 percent of that interview, and I feel incredibly insufficient now after having done so. Thank you, James Toney. 

Regarded as one of boxing's greats, Toney should also be remembered for his brief stint in the MMA world when he took on former five-time world champion Randy Couture.

Needless to say, Toney was outclassed, but his interviews will last forever. 

Bob Sapp

The former K-1, Pride, Dream and Strikeforce veteran in Bob Sapp enjoyed scaring the crap out of reporters, whilst fighting overseas for large sums of money.

Please, Kanye, won't you save the Japanese men from this ginormous product of obviously high levels of testosterone? 

I wonder why he was never really a big hit in the States. Weird. 

Jason "Mayhem" Miller

Loud and abrasive, Jason Miller is always entertaining. But for the unprepared, "Mayhem" can be a handful for just about anyone.

If you're not prepared for the crazy, than Miller will run all over you, kind of like what happens here. 

I'm sure doing an interview like you're calling a fight doesn't really help matters much. 

Muhammed Lawal

The former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion King Mo is almost always the center of attention. Whether it be thanks to his exciting manner of fighting, which usually ends by way of knockout, or his brutal honesty, Lawal is somebody to remember.

However, before his most recent outing against Roger Gracie under the Strikeforce banner—where Lawal later claimed a first-round KO win—the touted fighter threw a pity party at the lack of press he garnered in the days leading up to his match, which aired live on Showtime for potentially millions of viewers to see.

Not a bad gig.
