Portnoy, 47, took to social media on Wednesday, November 20 to denounce the alleged actions of Bryan, 28 – who Portnoy called a “little, pathetic little man” – during UFC 309 on Saturday, November 16 . Brianna “Fried Chicken” LaPaglia was sitting cageside at the event.

“During the fighting, this guy David (Onama) wins the fight, stands in the middle of the ring and yells at Zach Bryan,” Portnoy explained in a TikTok video.

Indeed, Onama, 30 years old – who won Roberto Romero by decision – found himself in the middle of the octagon at New York’s Madison Square Garden and mentioned Bryan in his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan. “I want to come back here next month to watch, what’s it called, Zach Bryan in concert,” Onama stammered.

Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy doesn’t mince his words when it comes to his distaste for Zach Bryan. “My buddy of the week is that fucking miserable bastard Zach Bryan,” Portnoy, 47, wrote via X on Saturday, November 9, sharing footage from Barstool’s college football broadcast. He repeated these remarks during the (…)

Bryan has two sold-out shows planned at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn in December.

“This guy David is on a podcast,” Portnoy continued. “It was so strange. Podcasters are like, “What’s going on with Zach Bryan?” Are you a big fan of Zach Bryan?’ The UFC guy says, “I don’t even know who Zach Bryan is. His manager, his team, contacted my team to ask for a shout out.

Onama appeared on SiriusXM Fight Nation’s “MMA Today,” where he told the alleged story.

“I didn’t know who Zach Bryan was,” Onama admitted. Onama said mentioning Bryan’s name was “literally” paid advertising.

A disgruntled Portnoy continued his rant, calling Bryan a “4-foot-8 psychopath.”

“We know you’re popular, Zach,” Portnoy said. “You don’t need to bribe people to say your name, you pathetic little man.” …Man, we get that you’re famous all over the world, but everyone knows you’re a fucking loser and now we know how pathetic, small and lowly you are. Besides, it’s embarrassing. You look like the smallest man who ever lived.

Dave Portnoy and Zach Bryan’s beef runs deep — and it’s not just because of Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. “He hates my guts,” Portnoy, 47, said of the singer during a “BFFs” podcast in November 2024. “I found myself more in the middle of it all than I expected, somehow. Bryan announced it in October 2024 (…)

LaPaglia, 25, was shown on camera looking unfazed shortly after Bryan’s name was mentioned inside the octagon. However, when the arena started playing Bryan’s song “Something in the Orange” during the event, LaPaglia was seen on camera give the track a boost.

Bryan and LaPaglia broke up last month, and the “Pink Skies” singer shared the news in an Oct. 22 Instagram Story.

LaPaglia was “blindsided” by the breakup and has since accused Bryan of emotional abuse and asking him to sign a $12 million NDA not to talk about the alleged abuse.
