Al Iaquinta
Al Iaquinta got the party started early after his TKO victory over Joe Lauzon at UFC 183 back in 2015.
By the time his fight was over the bar at the MGM Grand was closed, but undeterred, Iaquinta managed to sneak into a closed bar and convince a bartender to serve him copious amounts of alcohol.
“He must have thought I was freaking Anderson Silva or something because he put them on a plate and carried them,” Iaquinta recalled in an interview with Ariel Helwani. “I felt like I had a butler.”
By the time Iaquinta got to the post-fight press conference he was already drunk and chugging down something other than water from a ‘Big Gulp’ cup on stage.
“I was hammered, bro,” Iaquinta confessed. “Yeah, we had a little vodka and soda in there.”
Things then got out of hand back at the hotel as he and his buddies proceeded to completely tear up their room, up-ending the mini-fridge and service cart in the process.
Unfortunately for Iaquinta he then mistakenly posted up video of the carnage on Instagram and had to hastily delete it.
“That was bad. I [mistook] my Snapchat for my Instagram. That’s what must have happened. The videos got out there.
“I was wrecking that hotel, man.”
Despite his ‘Raging’ nickname, Iaquinta insisted he wasn’t angry at the time though and was just enjoying his own brand of twisted fun.
“I wasn’t pissed, I was actually pretty happy. It was more celebrating. That’s the best time to wreck something, go crazy, you know?”
