As one MMA fighter unintentionally struck comedy gold inside the Octagon. Fans of the sport quickly noticed the act of sportsmanship in the video. However, some felt that the fighter tried to disrespect his opponent with that move. But, ultimately felt the entire clip was hilarious, considering it went down in front of the whole audience.

Another group of people felt that he was being disrespectful to the fighter on the ground. Because the referee couldn’t intervene amidst an ongoing match to adjust his mouthpiece, according to official MMA rules. But the fighter insisted on being done with it as quickly as possible.

The fighter already had the victory in his bag

Jorge Masvidal was also confused by the actions of the fighter. As he couldn’t decide whether he was being courteous to his opponent. Or rubbing his face in defeat. So, Masvidal had to do a double-take to confirm his suspicions. He wrote, “Did he really put his mouth piece in for him before bashing him in?”

And fans wrote :

• That mouth guard move was disrespectful imo
• Lmao he be like, “here, we’re not stopping this fight”
• That is hilarious
