Memorable face-offs have become a crucial aspect of MMA events as they help to build anticipation and excite the fight. These intense stare-downs between fighters can sometimes lead to physical altercations, creating even more buzz and excitement.

However, not all face-offs are memorable for the fans. Some fighters often overdo it in the face-offs. Therefore, their fake efforts to create hype are easily noticeable to the fans. Sometimes, this just upsets the crowd. However, sometimes, it can also become funny and attract the masses. This is precisely what happened at an MMA promotion recently.
