WTF hes my mailman too!Yeah he definitely faked the glove touch & the opponent was my mailman so not impressed at all.
I watched it a few times cus I had the same question & checked another fight of his to see if the extended arm was typical for him. The verdict: this was as deliberate as could be. Go watch Billy Sapp vs Luis Hernandez
In this fight he comes out with the extended arm with the purpose of touching gloves, resets to a normal posture after a fair glove touch, then throws the exact same head kick.
In OPs vid, the difference is he mimics the exact scenario except very intentionally feigns the glove touch to immediately throw the kick
Officially looking forward to the day he gets his absolute shit rocked
Khamzat never put his hand up. That one was on HoLLand you can see how Chimaev marches into the middle of the cage that he means business
People don't know know what they're looking atDidn't look remotely dirty to me. The guy who got KOd didn't even come out looking to touch gloves, clean KO.
They already touch gloves before the fight starts anyways, when the bell rings it's on, no glove touching or hugging.
You don't think he comes out ANYTHING like it, like you don't see any similarity? Interested to hear more.He doesn't come out anything in this video like he does in the head kick KO video
What is this, fuckin opposite day?He did not fake a glove touch, and the other guy didn't fall for one either. Everything here is clean.

Having that arm extended in both vids despite it not being his typical stance is just one undeniable, objectively similar thing, no?
If you are a fighter, and you enter the cage, the name of the game is not fist bump and then fight, bell rings, fight is on. If you go to tap another man's fist, you are a sucker. I'm not saying fake a fist bump, but if you get ko'd this way, it's on you. Plus it negates the possiblity to rush an opponent, which is legit strategy in a fight. So cry all you want, the guy was gullible and got ko'd. AND, the guy did not clearly fake a fist bump, he had his hand forward in a defensive position. If you are upset about this, you are soft. Period. It's a fight, not paddy cake.He used his fake glove touch as a counter balance for the kick. Super fuckin dirty. Hope this guy gets what's coming to him. Straight dirtbag
Do people still echo this dumb shit?
This is, objectively, the ONLY way to perceive Bisping-Silva:
1) Silva was clearly better when he exchanged, but for whatever reason, didn't push more exchanges. Either he didn't have the energy for the volume, or he was being very measured about his exchanges because forcing more would be risky, or he was dumb enough to think he was winning.
2) He wasn't winning. He won his exchanges, but Bisping had more exchanges and volume and was clearly ahead on points.
3) Bisping thought backing away from Silva while being attacked and rocked is a "pause in action" worthy of Herb pausing the fight to give him his mouthpiece, but he was wrong.
4) The bell rang before Bisping's ass hit the ground, and Bisping was already yelling at Herb before Herb got to him, so the multiple narratives of Bisping being KO'd or Silva foolishly not following up on the strike or anything about getting the time of the round end wrong are inarguably delusional, and should quit posting gifs and should start reviewing videos with sound
The ref usually says if you want to touch gloves do so now. This clip doesn't have context what went before but commentators didn't react like it was dirty.
