Combat sports fans never shy away from wanting to know what it feels like to get hit by a professional fighter. While there have been certain incidents when fighters and fans have gotten into physical altercations, One fan got his wish after UFC featherweight fighter Ilia Topuria agreed to hit him with a body shot in a video that has gone viral on social media. Many people have shared their reactions to it.

MMA fans quickly get on social media to criticize a fighter when he or she gets injured by a body shot. Their ignorance may lead them to underestimate the power of a trained fighter delivering such a blow.

Ilia Topuria hits a fan with a liver shot

‘El Matador’ recently attended a meet-and-greet event to interact with his fans. While at the event, a fan came up to him with a pair of boxing gloves. He requested Topuria to sign those gloves and also hit him with a liver shot. The featherweight fighter didn’t hesitate and quickly put the left glove on and got ready to hit the fan as he requested.

The request for the body shot was raised after the recent Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia fight saw a similar situation when ‘The Flash KingRy’ went down after a liver shot from the former in the eighth round of the fight. Similarly, the fan got the same result after getting hit in the abdomen with a left-hand hook from Topuria. He even dropped down to his knees.
