Mixed martial artists face immense pressure in the cage. With the weight of months worth of training and hard work upon their shoulders, they step onto the mat for the entire audience to peer at their every success and failure. It’s 15 minutes of mind numbing pressure.
For this fighter, the stakes were perhaps a little higher. The mixed martial artist faced his opponent, with his mother present for the fight. However, she was also in his corner.
After being knocked out, the fighter’s mother shared a few heated words with her son. The fight did not go as she had intended. The exchange can be found below.
