Fights where a fighter looks visibly terrified

[jimmy dakine]

Can someone put Maersharts face gif just before he got ko'd by Khamzat. That was a man literally shitting his bigboy pants

thats the one, he looked like he had never been in a fight before and dint know what to do.

Honestly the first fight between them is probably one of the most terrifying MMA fights ever imo.

I was new to MMA when I saw this fight. It left me awestruck and somewhat haunted by how one sided and brutal the beating was. "A ballet of violence" was Rogan's description IIRC.

Mr It’s Only Business against Khabib. Looked like he’d seen a ghost. And couldn’t even look Khabib in the eyes when they were getting the pre-fight rundown.

Aldo NOT being afraid of Conor is why he lost.

Good luck on your new account. You plan on making it until the end of the day?

I don’t get it lol

Maybe you are right.. Maybe Joe Rogan swayed me when he said "Aldo looks like hes feeling the pressure of this moment." At the start of the fight.

Feeling the pressure he probably was.

Conor was annoying as fuck, there no way he didn't get inside Aldo's head. That promo tour was basically Conor laughing at Aldo.

But don't think he was afraid.

Rewatching Cro Cop's Debut, was there ever a fighter more terrified to fight someone than Eddie Sanchez?

The list in my head that I can think of is,

1. Cro Cop vs Sanchez
2. Franklin vs Silva 2
3. Aldo vs Conor

What other fights do you guys remember of a fighter being visibly terrified before or during a fight?

Came to say Franklin Silva 2

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.

Cooney / Norton before that was pretty snuff like too (and completely unnecessary).

It’s like he was hitting a heavy bag…….

 

[KeithHackneyballpunch]

yea, this was my first pick

 

[KeithHackneyballpunch]

wasn't Caleb immediately but after this fight?

 

[StonedLemur]

The fuckin ref might as well not even been there ffs lol.

 

[StonedLemur]

wasn't Caleb immediately but after this fight?

It was the last fight of his contract im pretty sure.

 

[HavokHarmon]

Silva vs Sonnen 2: When Chael missed that spinning back fist and butt scooted towards the cage he looked like he had no idea what to do.

 

[kalabula]

and

don't be a hater, Conor wasn't scared of Aldo

I think that was meant for Aldo being the one that was afraid.

 

[GordoBarraBJJ]

3. Aldo vs Conor

That wasn't being terrified. It was more Aldo being nervous and overly emotional in wanting to payback for the trash talk and mindfucking that conor did to him. And as others have pointed out he always looks like that.

And to address your question

megan anderson vs nunes - megan for all her talk and bravado beforehand looked like she was heading gallows from the moment she walked in to the arena till she was tapped out (like she could suddenly breath).
