Note To Self: Never say the word "Intensity" around Olivier Aubin-Mercier!

Some fighters refuse to get revved up or talk trash during UFC interviews or photo sessions before a fight. As you can see above, however, UFC Fight Night lightweight and rising Canadian star Olivier Aubin-Mercier is not one of those fighters.

In Saskatoon this week for his Fight Night bout against Tony Sims, "The Quebec Kid", needed just the slightest prodding from a photographer to get psyched up. Then, he went ape.

Or something.

Sunday's fight with Sims is sure to be a tough one and we'll have to tune in to see who wins, but we can tell you one thing for certain -- Aubin-Mercier will not lack intensity. Intensity!
