Boxing is a lethal and dangerous sport and gives shivers to the spectators. Another fighting sport that might prove fatal is mixed martial arts (MMA). The goal of these sports is to knock down your opponent in order to win. And, without a doubt, this puts the combatant in an entirely different frame of mind.

In addition, combat sports are more mental than physical. There was an incident during a bout that made the spectators admire a fighter’s sportsmanship.

Something spectacular happened during an MMA fight in Germany, and the crowd was blown away. Inside the ring, Arkadiusz Wroblewski and Paata Tschapelia were squaring off. Wroblewski, though, dislocated his shoulder while delivering a hard jab.

He soon found himself walking, approaching the ropes, perplexed by his circumstance. The referee and his opponent, Tschapelia, reached out to him, and Tschapelia, to everyone’s surprise, assisted Wroblewski in repositioning his dislocated arm. Following this, both the fighters shook hands as a sign of sportsmanship.

When Muhammad Ali saved his opponent by stopping the fight 

Muhammad Ali is a name recognized throughout the boxing world as a man, a myth, and a legend. The Hall of Famer has proved time and again that there will be no other fighter like him. Ali was not just the greatest boxer of all time, but he was also a god-fearing man who valued humanity over everything.

‘The People’s Champion’ was fighting Jerry Quarry in a 1972 boxing match. Apparently, it was a sequel for the two. Ali, as expected, entered the arena with his unique charisma and dominated the fight with his powerful jabs and tactical acumen.

However, the world champion refused to strike his opponent, observing that Quarry was fatigued and battered. Ali stopped throwing forceful jabs into the seventh round and signaled the referee to end the bout.
