Fights where a fighter looks visibly terrified

That’s the one, that was horrific..
 
Maybe Frank Mir vs Brock 2? When he kept motioning to his corner like hes good but had to know he was in deep shit with his arm trapped. I dont understand why he had to tell his corner he was ok.

Or James Thompson trying to psyche himself up to fight Aleksander
 
Honestly Cejudo looked shook when he faced MM for the first time. Whole buildup he oozed nervous energy.

That's why the second one was such a big upset to me
 
Yup Bader was absolutely scared and shot for a terrible takedown right away.

On a different note, idt Aldo was scared of Conor. I think he was just very angry at him for all the insults. That anger made him foolishly run chin first into Conor's left.
Aldo was angry and disappointed in himself. But I doubt that Aldo was ever scared to fight anyone.
Aldo was surely scared. He looked way different before the fight and had pulled out the fight before because Conor was in his head. He was scared and it was obvious.
 
Honestly the first fight between them is probably one of the most terrifying MMA fights ever imo.

Terrifying isn't the word I'd use, but it was definitely brutal.
Anderson was a wizard.
 
I watched live and was foolish enough to think Rich had a chance lol.

Wanna see terrifying?
Watch Ray Mercer vs Tommy Morrison ko sequence...that was fuckin terrifying sir.

Here it is, it's a 1 minute video.



Yeah that one was brutal. I think its more so since I was younger and a new fan at the time as well as being a fan of Franklin. I couldn't have imagined him getting wrecked like that a the time. I didn't really know who Anderson was other than the Leben fight.
