The UFC has spearheaded the global popularity of MMA with superstars from all across the globe. This popularity had negative and positive effects. Many people took up some form of martial arts due to it. However, some of these employ what they learned in street fights. More often than not, the result of it is severe. People also upload street fights on social media.

One such video went viral on social media lately. In the video, a man flatlines his opponent with a brutal left hook. The two-second video showed a dramatic reaction to a knockout blow. In the video, a man in a southpaw position threw a well-telegraphed left hook on his opponent. Immediately after the punch landed, his opponent had a weird reaction similar to that of an inflatable tube.

The way the man threw the left hook mirrored the right hook that Cody Garbrandt threw to knock out Raphael Assuncao at UFC 250. It was Garbrandt’s first win after he lost three in a row. Moreover, the knockout reaction was similar to that of Johnny Walker when Jamahal Hill knocked him out at UFC Vegas 48.

The knockout suffered by Assuncao and Walker was very brutal, and similar was the case in the viral street fight video. Walker reeled off three victories after that loss but lost his last fight via KO. Assuncao went 1-2 after the loss and has retired from professional MMA.
