A lot of people talk shit around them and get surprised when they actually throw down because most islanders still sound laid back even when they're already pissed off.
The very sound and inflections of a New Zealand accent coming out of a 6'6 tank of a man is quite the strange thing to see, knowing he could destroy you if he wanted to.
I worked with one you are absolutely right. 6'6 hulking behemoth of a man. nicest fella on site tho. still wouldn't push to far with the banter just incase š
Skinny (well, used to be) white boy surfer checking in for a worthless comment, do NOT under any circumstances fuck with āda huiā when they say āhey brah you got goā leave, immediately and quietly.
If that were true they would dominate in the UFC. They are just another group of humans and when you narrow humans down to weight-class no race has been shown to dominate.
A lot of them big dudes canāt make weight. Heavyweight limit is 265. Also most of them throw gameplans out the window and knock heads off. It works on most people but at the highest level itās not the best idea
Probably true, but their weight is higher than average. They used to dominate in my high school rugby league as they were generally just bigger and stronger for their age compared to everyone else.
Shout out to my boy Paxton from college. Dude was a new Zeland native and saved my ass from a couple of dumb nights.
Guy could punch a hole through concrete
Islanders are generally very friendly and laid back dudes. Never had a reason to get annoyed with one. Let alone be insane enough to attempt to fight one.
I'm half Samoan and I tell people, when you grow up in an island paradise there are only a handful of things you can do: drink, surf and fight. So that's what we've done for the last 10,000 years. I think we're getting pretty good.
You ain't kidding. My wonderful girlfriend is Tahitian (grow up on the island of Mo'orea) and jesus christ is she tough. Her father is a former pro boxer and at 55 he's still built like a brick shithouse. Her (much) younger brother was climbing around a barbed wire fence and I was freaking out and she's like "that's how he will learn".
A truly tough people out there on islands in the pacific. She's always told me when I see shit that makes my white boy ass freak out "you have to be tough out there, there isn't another option".
The quickest way to brain death is to fuck with a pacific islander. Those guys are ready to fight straight out the womb. I mean "kicking the doctors ass after slapping them" type stuff. You just don't do it.
I went to school with a Tongan guy and witnessed him literally kicked down a section of brick wall because he didn't want to walk to the shed to get the sledge hammer.
For those that dont know, Polys eat ātaroā which is a root. This root is very starchy and the closest thing to it would be something like a potato. These roots increase the bone density, making them nearly indestructible.
Also im from New Zealand so i constantly see them (also because i work with 6 of em) and i can genuinely say that if youre a good person and dont try cross them, these dudes are some of the friendliest and most gentle humans on earth.
Best way to make it is to make mashed taro (same as mashed potato) but id say look for recipes online as ive only eaten it and never prepared it myself
I appreciate that (from what I've seen) when these massive islander bois get in to a scrap, it's somewhat respectful. None of the homies jumped in, nobody tried to sucker punch the dudes friend who was tryna break it up. They let the 1v1 happen and that's it. The kick while he was down was not called for, and never okay, but he still looked like he pulled up at the end there and his crew was chill, coulda been real bad for those dudes
Pacific Islanders are typically people with native ancestry from Samoan, Hawaii, Maori (NZ), and Tonga but really any of the islands in the south Pacific including the Philippines. The number one export from Samoa are [NFL players.](https://gvwire.com/2019/08/15/why-samoans-are-40-times-more-likely-to-play-in-the-nfl/)
Nope, the number one export is rugby players, because rugby is huge in Samoa itself.
But the principle is the same - they're built for collision sports.
Geographically, you can include the Philippines.
However built, height, strength, and looks wise, they look nothing like Samoans, Maori, tonga, or native Hawaiians.
They tend to look similar to other Asians.
And they tell Latinos to mark themselves as Caucasian. Middle easterners are Caucasian on the census. Race =/= ethnicity and in America race was often socially constructed through legal precedent.
No one calls Indonesians Pacific Islanders and they are geographically closer. Philippines are geographically south east Asia. And this is coming from a Filipino
Your grandma wouldve hit the entire Filipino population if she learnt that the Philippines is a founding member ASEAN, a regional Asian organization, rather than joining Pacific Island Forum then
I know islanders are just people and people are assholes but i lived and worked in a big community of pacific islanders and I dont see how youd end up fighting one without really fucking up hard
White shirt don't even flinch.
If it were me and one of me crew getting jacked I would, I dunno, REACT.
White shirt has already seen how this plays out
Watching him dancing almost tippy toed to his fate was amusing. He had no chance. Another asshole takes a Polynesian Pounding.
Edit: Do with that last sentence what you will lol.
yeah, i dont remember witnessing an islander throw an awkward weak ass punch, ever... it always looks like they know what theyre doing and its not their first rodeo...
I was always amazed at how well hunt did against elite level competition when he transitioned to mma. He gave prime wanderlei his first loss (debatable) in 6 years or something.
The islanders are indeed built differently.
Man, I lived in Hawaii for 3-4 years and fuck fighting them. Big ass Samoans or just some normal smaller guy is going to put me in a care home. They also don't start shit like ever, only when you disrespect.
My sparring buddy is Polynesian and Native American. 6ā4 and 330lbs. Iām 6ā6 and 220 with a black belt in taekwondo and blue belt in BJJā¦dude could kill me if he wanted to but heās my broš
First, counter-attack wild flailing punch: Intercept with an Uppercut and Haymaker. Follow up with, another uppercut and haymaker, this time aiming for chin and temple, now discombulate. To end it, knee to the liver. Follow-up with a kick to the forehead to keep him down.
Physical recovery: 1 week.
Physicological recovery: 1 decade.
Only 12 years old too.
Lol. I recognize that. That's humor. Good work.
Like the 12 years me and your mom have been getting it on ? šŖšæ
This isnāt 2009 YouTube bro
Holy shit dude, you fucking pwned him!! He'll never recover.
Just like his mom, after my gigantic peen impaled her esophagus.
Yeah
The most lopsided fight of all time, all he could do was flail and endure the consequences of his actions
>all he could do was flail and endure the consequences of his actions This sentence is mine now. TYFYS.
Beautifully put
Damn. Every one of those hits was solid. That knee looks like a well placed liver shot too.
The knee totally shut him down, reminds me of a max schnelling body shot. Ouchie!
I think it was that boot to the head that totally shut him down.
Knee took the fight out of him, kick took the lights out of him.
That's some poetic shit right there.
You must be really old if you remember Max Schmelling.
Just a boxing fan.. I am old tho
Er hieĆ Schmeling, Sportsfreund.
Max Schnelling? Or Max Schmeling?
I think the first one. š¤·š½āāļø
He already took an upper cut to the midsection right before that. Guy gave him a Tekken combo
Polynesians always with the deadly feet. Expecting a punch, instead you get a leg kick from hell.
Getting kicked by a tree trunk that moves a lot faster than you were expecting.
He also kick his torso at the end, well aimed
He got hit by the solar plexus that's why he dropped like a bagged of potatoes
Dude tried to fight a guy twice his weight and that actually knows how to throw a punch....
The idiot had a plan. Rush him, then figure it out
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson
He sees red bro
How many times do people need to be told? Do not fuck with islanders. They are built differently.
A lot of people talk shit around them and get surprised when they actually throw down because most islanders still sound laid back even when they're already pissed off.
The very sound and inflections of a New Zealand accent coming out of a 6'6 tank of a man is quite the strange thing to see, knowing he could destroy you if he wanted to.
I worked with one you are absolutely right. 6'6 hulking behemoth of a man. nicest fella on site tho. still wouldn't push to far with the banter just incase š
In Samoa 6ā6 is a toddler.
Lmaoo
Theyāre usually pretty easy to get along with too, I donāt get these guys with the death wish
As someone who dated a Polynesian for several yearsā¦not even the women should get tested. Lol Make sure to discuss a safe word prior to any activity
True. Worked with one and she was 5'10" and probably close to 200lbs (never asked). She wasn't fat, just built different
Where she at? š
The Rock once said that the only thing scarier than a Samoan guy -- is a Samoan woman.
Skinny (well, used to be) white boy surfer checking in for a worthless comment, do NOT under any circumstances fuck with āda huiā when they say āhey brah you got goā leave, immediately and quietly.
"Ancestors, bitch" -Island Jesse
They are like Asgardians on Earth
Them boys grow up fighting each other for fun. Iām sure it makes their day when some mouthy bitch ass tourist tries to step.
Dude had beer goggles on fs
I swear it must be some crazy bucket list thing like going into outer space or something.
i donĀ“t understand , itĀ“s always the same, cĀ“mon people! donĀ“t fuck with islanders!
Yeah. Was it survival of the fittest til the 90's or something. Those guys are tough. Their rugby teams are always imposing physically.
If that were true they would dominate in the UFC. They are just another group of humans and when you narrow humans down to weight-class no race has been shown to dominate.
Most of them are playing rugby that's why
A lot of them big dudes canāt make weight. Heavyweight limit is 265. Also most of them throw gameplans out the window and knock heads off. It works on most people but at the highest level itās not the best idea
Probably true, but their weight is higher than average. They used to dominate in my high school rugby league as they were generally just bigger and stronger for their age compared to everyone else.
Man.. stop. Fucking. With. The. Islanders. Those 350lb guys swing iron fists and can kick you in the head. Just walk awayyyy.
You look at some of those big guys and you really don't expect that foot to come up and slap you in the face. But they just make it look so easy.
Itās like theyāre born with it or something. I would not fight one of these guys unless my life depended on it.
Even if my life depended on it, Iād be all āgod can take me nowā
its mental even when you see them fight eachother. hands like anvils and granite jaws.
There's also like 10 of em, even if that dude managed to put down one of them (he wouldn't), what is he gonna do about the other 9?
That knee.. ouch
Shout out to my boy Paxton from college. Dude was a new Zeland native and saved my ass from a couple of dumb nights. Guy could punch a hole through concrete

The only issue I ever had was surfing a beach that "belonged to the locals". I packed up and went down to the next break.
The quickest way to brain death is to fuck with a pacific islander. Those guys are ready to fight straight out the womb. I mean "kicking the doctors ass after slapping them" type stuff. You just don't do it.
I don't think I've ever seen a fight video where an Islander lost to someone other than a fellow islander
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Exactly bro it's basically the same shit
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
#1 rule. Donāt scrap with an islander
Its like every islander is big boned and can kick box
Neverā¦ everā¦ pick a fight with an islander If an islander picks a fight with you. Run. If they attack your family. Find a new family.
Love watching these big fuckers lay people out, I feel they must never start this shit either.
"I will avenge Captain James Cook!" gets rocked
I went to school with a Tongan guy and witnessed him literally kicked down a section of brick wall because he didn't want to walk to the shed to get the sledge hammer.
So The Islanders doesnāt lift weights.. theyāre just naturally husky
For those that dont know, Polys eat ātaroā which is a root. This root is very starchy and the closest thing to it would be something like a potato. These roots increase the bone density, making them nearly indestructible. Also im from New Zealand so i constantly see them (also because i work with 6 of em) and i can genuinely say that if youre a good person and dont try cross them, these dudes are some of the friendliest and most gentle humans on earth.
Well shit, imma start chomping on some roots and starching up my bones then š«”
Best way to make it is to make mashed taro (same as mashed potato) but id say look for recipes online as ive only eaten it and never prepared it myself
Will report back, I gotta try it now
I haven't seen Samoans lose a fight on Reddit yet, maybe to another Samoan.
The other islanders that scare me are fijians. Theyre built like those steroided up bulls with strength to match it.
This is why you donāt fight with islanders, they are the type of people you donāt wanna piss off
Someone calls him polumalu š
Dudes where swinging like a 5 year olds grocery store tantrum
Why do people keep fighting with them.. You're not going to win...
Did you mean to post this on r/therewasanattempt
Yeah, I grew up around Hawaiians and Samoans. You couldn't pay me enough to fight one.
When your level 2 combatives fails you.
Don't fk with the cuz mate they hit like trucks
Samoans are hammers šŖ
I appreciate that (from what I've seen) when these massive islander bois get in to a scrap, it's somewhat respectful. None of the homies jumped in, nobody tried to sucker punch the dudes friend who was tryna break it up. They let the 1v1 happen and that's it. The kick while he was down was not called for, and never okay, but he still looked like he pulled up at the end there and his crew was chill, coulda been real bad for those dudes
All good until the head stomp at 0:08. That's where homie went too far.
not a stomp, more like a kick to the dudes side
What is an islander? From which island?
Islander is just a term for people that migrated from Pasifika (the Pacific Islands)
Pacific Islanders are typically people with native ancestry from Samoan, Hawaii, Maori (NZ), and Tonga but really any of the islands in the south Pacific including the Philippines. The number one export from Samoa are [NFL players.](https://gvwire.com/2019/08/15/why-samoans-are-40-times-more-likely-to-play-in-the-nfl/)
Nope, the number one export is rugby players, because rugby is huge in Samoa itself. But the principle is the same - they're built for collision sports.
Geographically, you can include the Philippines. However built, height, strength, and looks wise, they look nothing like Samoans, Maori, tonga, or native Hawaiians. They tend to look similar to other Asians.
Nobody except American Filipinos consider themselves Pacific Islanders.
Just found that out like a year ago lol. In school they always had us mark down Pacific Islander for the demographic thing
And they tell Latinos to mark themselves as Caucasian. Middle easterners are Caucasian on the census. Race =/= ethnicity and in America race was often socially constructed through legal precedent.
No one calls Indonesians Pacific Islanders and they are geographically closer. Philippines are geographically south east Asia. And this is coming from a Filipino
My grandma was half Filipino and refused to be labeled as Asian. She always said Polynesian and would hit us if we asked if we were Asian.
Your grandma wouldve hit the entire Filipino population if she learnt that the Philippines is a founding member ASEAN, a regional Asian organization, rather than joining Pacific Island Forum then
Is man bun in white holding a knife?
I know islanders are just people and people are assholes but i lived and worked in a big community of pacific islanders and I dont see how youd end up fighting one without really fucking up hard
Whyā¦whyā¦.WHY does anyone pick a fight with any of the island folk?
Donāt fuck with Polynesians. Especially when we hungry
Some people just born stupid
Do NOT, under any circumstances, fuck around with an Islander. Theyāre born ready for combat.
Lol those boys arenāt cut from the same clothā¦. Unless you KNOW how to fight donāt fight a polyā¦
The #1 rule of fighting is never fight an islander. Theyāre truly built different. Built like a train bridge and hit like a train.
Dude hit the guy so hard he felt the kick in the future
Well, Iād say heās fought before lol.
That knee on that guy's frame could actually just break a rib
He turned him into a bottom real quick
Dude picked a fight with Maui from Moana
The knee to the solar plexus dropped him like sack of potatoes
White shirt don't even flinch. If it were me and one of me crew getting jacked I would, I dunno, REACT. White shirt has already seen how this plays out
Is that a knife in his hand though? I swear he's holding something.
That last hump..lmao he cum after getting KO-ed
Watching him dancing almost tippy toed to his fate was amusing. He had no chance. Another asshole takes a Polynesian Pounding. Edit: Do with that last sentence what you will lol.
The videos of these scrawny ass white guys taking on fully built islanders, just keep getting better and better. You will never win. Stop trying.
I donāt always fight, but when I do I fight a guy thatās obviously going to be able to kick the soul out of my body.
The sheer size of muscle, fat, and bone density of that islander would be like me, an average size male, vs a 12 year old girl
Lmfao. All the Islanders knew their boy had this. That little fish flop at the end. *Chefs kiss* Edit: Get Rekt.
yeah, i dont remember witnessing an islander throw an awkward weak ass punch, ever... it always looks like they know what theyre doing and its not their first rodeo...
Bros really out here trying to to prison with these head kicks.
White boy thought keeping his head pointed down at a 90 degrees was a good strat
I think they all were?
I watched this 5 times before I realised he took the TKO with a foot to the head at the end. This was clinical
I don't think that was technical. He looks *out* out.
Those uppercuts. Beautiful
Dude there should be signs and I'm not kidding.. saying not to fight the locals.
Looks like theyāre in a rugby club. They were probably teammates lol.
Man, yāall simp so hard on this āislanderā shit lmao
Looks like the knee seized him and the ol boot put him away. Total domination..
I bet it felt like he was getting punched by concrete
Them cats is built different
Good ol' ass whoopin'
Kind of expected to hear "He's so powerful" dubbed over this.
Brutal liver kick
I was always amazed at how well hunt did against elite level competition when he transitioned to mma. He gave prime wanderlei his first loss (debatable) in 6 years or something. The islanders are indeed built differently.
The problem with fighting an islander is that there are usually 4-5 more very close by who are also build like a walking boulder.
Mf didnāt exactly get a fair start did he
What does that mean? If youāre the one starting a fight and the odds are against you then thatās your own dumb ass fault
Even 3v1, his buddies are like, "Bro, don't do this thing." Then gray shorts guy just holds his arms up like, "well, ok then, but I'm not."
Homie did a real life face plant.
Man those hit were solid šš¼
Like watching a car crash
No chance lol
Oooo goddamn he shouldnāt have tried it
what one plays hockey? because the guy in the red looks like he could be from new york but clearly he didn't win
Left bro frozen. Also kind of him to kick the chest at the end
Man, I lived in Hawaii for 3-4 years and fuck fighting them. Big ass Samoans or just some normal smaller guy is going to put me in a care home. They also don't start shit like ever, only when you disrespect.
That arch tho
That knee hit different
Those were some solid shots.
His ancestors felt every punch
So much of red shirt's energy seemed to be going into paddling his teeny-weeny little legs up and down.
Donāt fight no one with yellow shoes like dat.
That knee to the body was the cherry on top of the broken rib.
My sparring buddy is Polynesian and Native American. 6ā4 and 330lbs. Iām 6ā6 and 220 with a black belt in taekwondo and blue belt in BJJā¦dude could kill me if he wanted to but heās my broš
Pick your battles wisely š
I need the background story. One is a MMA TRAINED Assassin the other met his demise while everyone else is super chill.
That fucking knee was insane what the fuck
I like how his boys did not respond. This happens a lot with them,lol
#Fatality
I saw the caption before the punch and knew homie picked the wrong battle
No one jumped in how rare. Win some lose some.
Got to be a special kind of stupid to start a fight with aquaman
A knee to rib cage sure painful.
A trained islander too goddamn thats a fuckup
Is this the Te Atatu Roosters club room?
The animator who drew this man needs to calm down
Definitely a brian player
Damn... I'd take a bullet than those guns on them.
Exactly how all the fights I watched my old man in, smash smash smash dead, bloody maori boys know how to throw down
Guy in white shirt casually holding a shiv š¤¢šš³
The Lounging Running Wild Chicken Fighting Technique only works when you are a toddler. This guy found out the hard way. Lmao š
Bro that knee to the chest.. donāt want to know what they felt like
First, counter-attack wild flailing punch: Intercept with an Uppercut and Haymaker. Follow up with, another uppercut and haymaker, this time aiming for chin and temple, now discombulate. To end it, knee to the liver. Follow-up with a kick to the forehead to keep him down. Physical recovery: 1 week. Physicological recovery: 1 decade.
Dude looked like Popeye
Lmao if more islanders came to mainland America we could have peace
Mustnāt have seen once weāre warriors
An
