UFC lightweight Jared Gordon is not a big fan of trash talking ahead of fights.

After battling drug addiction and spending time in jail in his past, the 34-year-old reasons that it’s wise to choose your words in certain situations.

”That’s just how I grew up and where I’m from,” Gordon said at the UFC 282 media day. ”You can tell Conor’s never really been in jail. You can tell. He might have did a couple of hours in Brooklyn when he threw the dolly at the bus, but he never went to main jail or a real prison.”

“You can just tell by the way he talks and by the way some other guys talk. It’s like I can tell you’ve never been certain places because if you were in certain places, you would hold yourself in a different way, carry yourself in a different way. Because you would be worried about someone trying to hurt you, someone trying to kill you.”

“Some of the things I hear people say, like, I would stab you for that, or I know someone that would stab you for saying those things.”
