Dennis Hallman loses bet, fights in speedos at UFC 133, loses again

ESPN had this to say:
...Hallman entered the Octagon for his fight with Brian Ebersole wearing trunks that left little to the imagination. He then proceeded to lose via first-round TKO after a series of thunderous elbows from Ebersole.
      Perhaps more embarrassing for Hallman was the fact that he momentarily showed more of his body than he would have liked midway through the fight. And the joke drew few laughs from UFC president Dana White, who has banned the trunks from future events...




Post-fight, UFC President Dana White told MMAFighting.com's Ariel Helwani: "I've never been so embarrassed being in the UFC." White even awarded victor Ebersole a $70,000 bonus for getting the scantily clad Hallman off the screens hastily.

Though put out with Hallman, White's exasperation wasn't so all-consuming that he neglected to good-naturedly queer-bait Helwani during their interview.

White: I can understand why you'd like 'em; I'm sure you love those shorts, but I didn't like 'em.
Helwani: Did you just go there?
White: I did.
