Brady
Hiestand and Garrett
Armfield evidently harbored no ill feelings for each other
after their UFC
on ESPN 58 clash on Saturday.

Hiestand survived a knockdown from Armfield in the second round and
pulled off a third-round submission win in one of the most
competitive outings of the night. Both fighters subsequently shared
screenshots of Instagram DMs revealing the mutual respect between
the two, along with other things.
After an initial show of respect, Armfield asked Hiestand if his
armbar attempt on “Bam Bam” in the first round was tight.
“You got some heart bro. Was the armbar tight at least?” Armfield
wrote.
Hiestand replied that an alleged fart from Armfield during the
armbar attempt was the most fatal move of the fight.
“Bro that fart was more deadly than anything! All jokes aside that
was a good one,” Hiestand replied.
Armfield didn’t dispute the accusation in his response.
“Bahahahhahahhha. I’m dead,” he wrote.
Hiestand then replied by praising his opponent.
“Thanks for making it an amazing fight bro, can’t wait to see what
you do next”
