Fights where a fighter looks visibly terrified

[HeDidn'tWantTheFight]

Rousey/Nunes

 

[mikesparrow]

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?

Conor vs Khabib

 

[TheBrownGosling]

Hendricks vs Costa

Hendricks vs Costa

One of the saddest cases of a young lion eating an old one.

 

[Mammothman]

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.

Not even the shadow of the same guy that fought Aldo.

Yeah dude. Total mismatch.

and

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

She's my girl but yeah this is the first I thought of.

And not MMA but Spinks looks petrified here (not that I blame him ha ha)

David loiseau vs Franklin

 

[don't ask]

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.

Don't listen to Rogan. There are plenty of other things you can do that won't damage your brain as badly as Rogan... things like meth or Russian Roulette.

I remember trying to tell my friend, who was a big Franklin fan, that Rich was about to get merked. He told me I was crazy, didn't know what I was talking about, and bet me $50 - thinking I wouldn't accept. I said "OK. Watch." Smiled the whole time while he screamed at the tv and threw my money at the couch. Good times.

Silva was a +185 underdog. So crazy in hindsight. Luckily I watched Pride and made myself some cheddar too.

Rogan wasn't the only, the spanish broadcast pointed out the same.

I always felt like he was trying to copy how Mayweather did their staredown in the boxing match..... To me it was him trying to pretend like he didnt care about nothing and wasn't worried at all.

 

[StM682]

hadn't seen that one so.... I found it :


Sanchez looked like a sloppy untechnical brawler. Massive difference to the skills of Crocop.

Yeah for sure, he was running for his life and the way his body was moving... Just wobbling around walking backwards with that hand glued to his face to he didn't get high kicked.

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

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.

Did Morrison know he had HIV by that time?
