"There was no fight," penned former New York Knicks head coach Derek Fisher in his first-person explanation of the rumored altercation between him and the Memphis Grizzlies' Matt Barnes, published on The Cauldron.
But a fight is precisely what many fans and fellow athletes hoped for.
Now, thanks to YouTube user Eric Bui and his EA Sports UFC 2-harnessing powers, it's virtually what they'll get.
Without spoiling the bout's result, it's fair to say the pair battled it out in the Octagon as they did in real life and on social media (hint: "[Matt] showed up unannounced at Gloria's house and started swinging...").
Seems like J.R. Smith got his wish after all.
