UFC Vegas 73 aired last Saturday and sent fans and supporters into a state of frenzy and disbelief. The event’s main highlight turned out to be Mackenzie Dern, who put on an exhilarating show as she defeated Angela Hill via a unanimous decision. But the story doesn’t end there. After the broadcasts were over, something ‘wild’ happened. Former UFC champion Michael Bisping, ‘Jackass’ star Steve-O, Marvin Vettori and SteveWillDoIt (real name Stephen Deleonardis) entered the octagon for a unique spectacle, and this post-event entertainment took a surprising twist.

Steve-O teamed up with the millionaire ‘Nelk’ boy and YouTuber SteveWillDoIt for some social media content after UFC Vegas 73. They held a stunt-turned-race between Michael Bisping and Marvin Vettori to see who could choke their ‘stunt partner’ the quickest. Thus, the group embarked on this bizarre stunt, and what followed went viral instantly.

The tense moments, with SteveWillDoIt appearing unconscious, had fans on the edge of their seats. However, the Middleweight contender quickly woke Stephen after letting go of the hold.

Fans couldn’t hold back the social media reactions from pouring in. Some fans speculated this submission attempt was Vettori’s first ever submission, while others roasted the Middleweight for this publicity stunt. Here are some of the reactions:
