Brady Hiestand, Garrett Armfield Share Humorous Post-Fight Exchange via DMs

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”



Hiestand has now racked up three wins in a row after coming up on the wrong side of a split decision in his UFC debut against Ricky Turcios in 2021. Meanwhile, Armfield saw a two-fight winning streak snapped with his loss to Hiestand and is currently 2-2 in the UFC.
