Where did "shushing "the crowd come from?

[Vampire life]

You know, where the fighter puts his index finger up to his lips and goes "shhhh" like you do to a child.
I hate that shit.
I don't get why someone would to hush the crowd from cheering for their performance?
Whoever started that is on my list. Js

 

[hohner]

That has literally never happened iirc

 

[EndlessCritic]

I thought it was meant to represent silencing the critics, not silencing the crowd. Though it's an interesting question of who popularized it.

 

[Pittie Petey]

It came from real sports

 

[Eiger]

basketball? foot/futbol?

This. And one guy does it and now every unoriginal dork does the same.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

I have been told to shush on this very website

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

It came from golf.

 

[Coolkid666]

I only seen Amanda nunes do it because she beat Ronda who was the big star and nunes wanted everyone to shush about Ronda cuz she's the new star

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Soccer (Football) after scoring an away goal

Sushing/hushing the fans of the home team

 

[accolyte1022]

It came from golf.

The fan who did it was a librarian.

What a weird thing to complain about.

 

[lepsahekim]

It’s meant to signify the opponent is dead/sleeping, so show some respect and be quiet. Makes most sense after knocking someone out or putting them to sleep

 

[Rawplier]

Holly Holm

 

[ifindgifsforjackslack]

Lol I must
Be an idiot. I thought they do it to be like “shhh he’s sleeping, don’t wake him up”

 

[gamb]

its a football thing, telling the opposition, and their fans to shut the fuck up.

 

[Megatronlee]

Most Mma guys are looking for an identity

Boxers cant do it cos their gloves prevent it.

They are not shushing the crowd,they are silencing their haters and critics,and possibly the opponent who maybe ran their mouth
