MMA fans witness a variety of moments in the sport on a regular basis. The sport showcases the highs and lows at different intervals, leaving fans elated or polarized. However, in many of the moments, the fans will unite to take a stand against an issue. MMA enthusiasts saw one such moment in a recent video that went viral and expressed their passionate reactions on social media.

Audiences saw an illegal strike in the video shared by the UFC Fight Pass account. They took over the comment section, showing their anger and sharing their opinion on the brutal blows depicting Jake Gyllenhaal-style strikes.

Fans react to a DQ shot being thrown in a UFC Fight Pass event

The UFC Fight Pass account shared a post comprising clips from two different fights. The first video saw Carlos Prates knocking out Eduardo Ramon in round 1 at the Legacy Fighting Alliance in Brazil. However, it was the second video that drew largely alarmed reactions from the fans.

The second video featured an important fight between Lucas Fernando and Jansey Silva. Fernando knocked Silva out with a vicious knockout to bring the contest to an emphatic finish, but he didn’t stop striking his opponent even after the stoppage. These unanswered shots to the downed opponent enraged the MMA community. One fan said, “Bad sportsmanship by Fernandes”. Another one stated, “F*ck that last follow up punch in the second video tho”

Another Instagram user wrote, “Fernandes should be fined or DQ’d for that lame as* s**t. Ref has intervened and he’s still punching out an unconscious opponent.”

Two other fans broached the themes of sportsmanship and probable hostility between the combatants. “None of the punches hit the opponent when he fell. Hostile weather between fighters causes this kind of reaction. Blood frenzy.” Similarly, a fan added, “Second clip should be a DQ he kept banging him after ref stopped him. No sportsmanship here.”

An angered social media user commented, “WEAK mother fk* for that follow up. P*zzy a**.” Likewise, a fan stated, “Give the second guy a disqualification.”

The fans bashed Lucas Fernando as one more wrote, “Once the ref is pulling you off stop hitting what an a**.” 

It is not only about the Brazil pro middleweight that was subjugated to heavy criticisms by the MMA community. When push came to shove, the fans did not hold themselves back to lash out at this Hollywood star.

Roadhouse star Jake Gyllenhaal was called out too!

UFC 285 saw Hollywood star Jake Gyllenhaal shoot for the movie Roadhouse. The makers shot a clip of the movie during the prelims of UFC 285. The clip saw Gyllenhaal fight inside the ring and beat up his opponent. Additionally, the clip also saw the lead actor punch and strike his opponent repeatedly, even after the referee stopped the fight. The fans voiced a similar cry for ‘DQ’ as they witnessed Gyllenhaal punish his opponent after the bell.

What do you think about the sequence after the stoppage and the fans’ reaction to the same? Did you find it similar to Jake Gyllenhaal’s clip? Let us know in the comment section.
