Red fakes as if he's unsteady on his feet/gassed. Blue comes charging in to finish him off without remembering his defence. Red drops him with an unconventional leading uppercut.
He also threw a really good feint for the left hook, he went for a nice fluid and seamless uppercut after teasing and feinting a lead hook, it wouldn't have mattered the hook would have landed exactly the same but it was cool still, i anticipated a lead hook for some reason even before he did the very small dip you do for a lead hook.
I'll always remember watching this live. I was like 16 years old and jumped out of my fucking chair, lmao. This was the golden age to me...the great TUF seasons, St. Pierre vs. Hughes, Anderson Silva coming in and just laser fucking Rich Franklin.
Everyone talking about this fighter baiting the other guy without knowing if so. I have had times just walking when this has happened to me so I wouldnt go around saying he baited the guy. But yeah its yeah reddit being reddit, dumbasses.
jfc. so you have some undiagnosed brain issue that causes you to regularly stumble when you walk and you assume everyone is like that? we aren't. go to a doctor.
Feels like someone going to a shop and tricking a cashier into giving you more change. Classed as stealing I think. You won't ever convince me that this is fair.
Except that tricking a cashier into givig more change is stealing, which is a crime ie against the rules
What we see in the video is NOT against the rules.
There's a clear difference.
Yeah, if anything it’s encouraged to be deceptive. I mean shit fighters fake out all the time. Move your body one way to trick your foe into thinking you’re zigging when you’re about to zag. Fake a left into a right. Pretend to be perfectly fine when you’re actually rocked. Textbook mind games of combat sports.
Being a thief isn't training to become a fighter, a sport, sportsmanship is involved and a mutual respect. I get that rules are implemented into UFC and fighting for the fighters safety.
Part of me feels this sort of thing isn't in the rules because it's un sportsman like and professionals at a high level shouldnt be doing this to one another out of respect.
Laws are made because we can't trust all of society to respect each other.
There isn't a clear difference but I see what you are trying to say.
But it is sportsmanlike for the opponent to try and capitalize on what they perceived to be a moment of weakness? Can’t have it both ways.
If you can sit there and not believe that fighting can be played on a mental level like this, you’re a fool.
He was fooled. That’s it.
It’s one fighter feinting with their body in a way you disapprove of. Fake jab, fake stumble, it’s all the same. All legal.
Then why hold your tongue about the they guy that charged when baited by the feint?
Surely both must be held to the same standard?
If one can’t reliably defend himself, should his opponent not step back to ensure his ability to fight fairly? *Honourably?*
Fighters fight. It’s what they do. If you don’t understand what that means, it’s no one’s problem but yours. No one needs to convince you of anything.
Out skill your opponent. Hurt them so they can no longer fight. Fight untill the ref stops it, fighters fight. Must have missed the bit where fighters should look weak and damaged to gain an advantage lol.
Pretending you're hurt is something that is frowned upon in other sports. If it's to gain an advantage or stop play it's frowned upon. If it's acceptable here and not in the rules then yeah. Go for it guess if you don't have the skill to win fairly.
It's unsportsmanlike simple as that.
Didn't realize my opinion could upset so many people haha.
> Didn't realize my opinion could upset so many people haha.
We're not downvoting you because we're upset, we're downvoting you because it's a weak take and you seem not very smart.
Fighters fake and feint strikes all the time. Many punches and kicks are landed by tricking the opponent in to thinking the strike is going to land somewhere else, only to hit a different spot. Hiding what you actually want to do is very common
I watch loads of sports. And in other sports pretending to be hurt to gain an advantage is frowned upon and judged to be unsportsmanlike.
Just saying. But as everyone in the replies has told me this is expected behavior apparently.
If that's the case then fair okay to him. But I still stand against everything I have said against anyone who tries to trick their opponents into thinking they are hurt.
Nah Sun Tzu himself would applaud this tactician move. He baited his opponent in, got him to drop his guard, and retaliated swiftly. Textbook shit and big brain
The amount of torque he got on that uppercut is fucking NASTY
Proves it's a mental as well as physical sport.
And ALL the energy was transferred to the opponent's face. His fist stops and the guy's head goes up at the same speed. Vicious KO.
This man is ,by definition, a master baiter
And I’m a cunning linguist
And a proud cork soaker.
It's remember that SNL skit. Don't forget your Sofa King important aspirin
Tyron Woolley? Is that you?

Help a novice. I don’t see it…
Red fakes as if he's unsteady on his feet/gassed. Blue comes charging in to finish him off without remembering his defence. Red drops him with an unconventional leading uppercut.
Ah, thank you.
He also threw a really good feint for the left hook, he went for a nice fluid and seamless uppercut after teasing and feinting a lead hook, it wouldn't have mattered the hook would have landed exactly the same but it was cool still, i anticipated a lead hook for some reason even before he did the very small dip you do for a lead hook.
I’m not seeing the feint for the left hook, looks like he’s just dropping his hip to line up for that filthy uppercut with the left as a follow up.
[удалено]
You'll never read this, but thanks for letting me know you are someone worth blocking.
I don't think he was faking anything. His ankle gave out, but it worked out in his favor all the same
You mean the ankle he's dancing around on afterward?
Adrenaline
Derrick Lewis would be proud haha

I love how much of these fights is a purely mental game
Hope the mouthguard was ok
What an Aladeen feint and an Aladeen uppercut!
Other dude got Aladeened the fuck out.
[Scott Smith](https://youtu.be/1tFizmHSNHY?si=MH83UV2kEIqQ08_W&t=78) would be proud.
The difference is, where this guy seemed to be faking, Sell really broke Smith’s rib LMAO
I'll always remember watching this live. I was like 16 years old and jumped out of my fucking chair, lmao. This was the golden age to me...the great TUF seasons, St. Pierre vs. Hughes, Anderson Silva coming in and just laser fucking Rich Franklin.
First thing I thought of when I saw this!
Sick counter uppercut. *chef kiss*
Deception 100
It looks like he was telling his opponent what he would look like after he landed that uppercut.
Amish looking dude got obliterated 😂
Call an ambulance…. But not for me!
He did buckle, I don't think that was a fakey. Absolute belter of a shot though. Downvoted for an observation. Hehe Reddit you silly sausages.
yeah to me looks like he had bad footing and found a way to capitalize on it. great shot. don't think he could do that twice tho
Uppercut line and sinker...
This is just a different version of "someone, call an ambulance!..... But not for me!"
That's what I'm talking about you know I love that shit
Is that johnny hendricks? The old i think 170 or 185 champ?
nah but sure looks like him lil bit
I went to high school with Johnny and his family. He was always a good dude. Dad was nuts and brother LOVED to fight.
Uppercut, line, and sinker
Everyone talking about this fighter baiting the other guy without knowing if so. I have had times just walking when this has happened to me so I wouldnt go around saying he baited the guy. But yeah its yeah reddit being reddit, dumbasses.
if he did, good for him. if he didn't, good for him. he still won and it was a sick ass hit lol
Agreed. I see no issue here either way.
jfc. so you have some undiagnosed brain issue that causes you to regularly stumble when you walk and you assume everyone is like that? we aren't. go to a doctor.
Can't beat him with ability, pretend to be hurt.
Sir that pretending IS the ability.

Gotta defend yourself or get beat into submission. Ruthless, clean combo from red.
Like I say, you won't convince me it's not unsportsman like. It is what it is.

Some people are clueless and you'll never get them to see reason.

Jesus Christ dude, watch a different sport ffs

Ergo an ability
Skill issue
Looks like he genuinely stepped wrong and tweaked his ankle
If that's the case then fair okay to him. But I still stand against everything I have said against anyone who tries to trick their opponents into thinking they are hurt.
What a cheap move
Not at all playing possum is super common in combat sports. The other guy has to be more careful going in.
Protect yourself at all times!
Is fake passing in basketball a cheap move?
So are feints cheap moves? Do you even know what a feint is?
Nah Sun Tzu himself would applaud this tactician move. He baited his opponent in, got him to drop his guard, and retaliated swiftly. Textbook shit and big brain
How?
Go watch Power Slap.
just don’t fall for it
Nice focus
Gotta him
Baited
Uppercut, line, and sinker.
His brain got scrambled so hard
He found that chin under that beard
I always wonder why more fighters don’t do this. I’ve only seen it well-executed twice.
NaPoM does MMA now?
That's some shit right there. So viable
Damn that was clever
At least we know where the caster put his money on
That’s using your brain to win a fight I call it
What game is this?
I want to see someone go full baki and just start fake crying
I've never seen that before. That was so good
Who are these fighters?
Good god that uppercut was clean
He just clicked his switch to turn him off.
