Mixed martial arts is a demanding sport. In order to compete at the highest level, fighters are required to reach peak physical and mental condition. For some, however, the sport can simply be downright painful.
Mixed martial artists Vusal Akhmedov and Zhali Abdyrakhman can be seen competing in a flyweight match up within the footage provided. The two fighters went toe-to-toe on Saturday, May 26, for the MMA Pro Ukraine 17 event.
Of course, the fight did not last long.
Zhali Abdyrakhman put on a dominant performance over his opponent, ultimately earning a TKO victory over Vusal Akhmedov. However, Akhmedov is beginning to get some attention over the internet, as the fighter tapped to strikes in his tough loss.
Pressed against the fence, the fighter was being pummeled by Abdyrakhman over and over again. Seemingly unable to escape the situation, Akhmedov elected to tap.
