So detailed was Jose Aldo's mockery of Conor McGregor that the Vikings reference passed a lot of people by.
The featherweight champion released a statement yesterday in which he said McGregor would have nothing but a toy to show his drunk friends and that the Irishman is more comedian than fighter.
But he also claimed that The Notorious had fashioned his image around a fictional character, writing: "I can’t say anything about a man that imitates a TV series character (Travis Fimmel, from Vikings)."
Fimmell plays Ragnar in the hit TV show and castmate Clive Standen, who portrays Rollo, took to Twitter to stick up for McGregor.
Could we see a 2016 McGregor cameo? Here's hoping.
