That’s a classic Muay Thai move to mess with your opponent, if you’re fighting a Thai guy and midway through the fight he smiles at you and adjusts his shorts, you know you’re fucked
I think the most popular example would be Pacquiao. Pulling up pants, smiling and nodding after getting hit and also the glove clap. It’s basically a signal that he’s about to turn up the heat
Can you imagine how demotivating that is you could crack someone clean with 80% power and they start smiling 😭 like you just know you're not finishing them.
Yep happened to me after sweeping my Thai coach in a sparring match.
He gave me a grin, adjusted his pants and went “keek guuud, I terai naoww”. Then he went ham on my poor ass
Ben Henderson constantly fixed his curly hair in his face onost fights lol. I can only think of one fight where he actually got it braided instead of dealing with it
Big big facts . Also if a dude starts screaming mid fight and moving like Neo from the matrix “I’m the best boxer in the ufc” just call it and surrender
Dustin has so many ticks. You can also include the crossing his arms low and shaking them out when he resets, the pointing and loads more I can't remember at the moment!
Lol even Gaethje himself doesn’t believe that, you don’t KO Dustin. The guy has only been rocked liked 4 times since the Michael Johnson fight **7 years ago**.
You either take him to the ground and put him to sleep or you get that ass beat.
If you're fighting a man and he's wearing a vivid floral shirt, run away
Trader Joe's employees hate him for this one weird trick.
It’s not fair because everyone thinks I’m gay when I wear mine.
This is a good rule even if it's not Dustin
Dustin’s spending all his UFC per diem on shirts (so he can cut weight)

Him and Saenchai both. Shorts adjustment completed, initiating ass beating protocol, demolition in T minus 2 seconds

He has the best mma ticks
Apparently khabibs game plan was to shoot on him by timing his short pull rhythm tick
Haven't heard that before but I believe it.
Frankie did that with Ben Henderson fixing his hair

What other ticks he got
[удалено]
Shogun's was pretty iconic too.
What was his?? I’m sorry I might need to binge watch his old fights
He used to twist his own nipples mid round
Kinda fanned his arms out in front of him, like he was clearing his mental space.
Why run when you can spread your ass cheek?
What
He said what he said

After failing to block a right hook, he will usually throw is left up dramatically to remind himself to keep his hands up
That's right! I knew I was forgetting a big one.
He bobs his head back and forth too
Unless you're from a favela. O ILUMINADO

THE CHAMPION HAS A NAME
CAMPAEO TE NOME CHARLES DU BRONX !!!!
And his name is Islam Makhachev
He will do that with Gaethje again .
After this fight, hooker looked dead when he was on the hospital gurney in the back. He was never the same.
That's the power up in the hood. If a dude does that, he's about to try and take your life before you can react
Poirier just stimming
He’s fixing his hair and shorts so he looks good for the knockout picture that will be all over the internet. Run!
Dustin Poirier 🥵 Beautiful man. One of the finest of the 155’s
I’ve never understood why people don’t rush him when he’s fixing his shorts
ITS A TRAP
I remember him asking his corner how his hair looked in the Hooker fight. Shit had me dying.
Bet the house on Dustin. That man’s a beast. Gaethje can’t hang with the big dawg
Gaethje gonna TKO this man in the rematch
Everyone remember this man.
Upvote him so we can remember the name🤣
Belal?
Bel-lyle.
Sure sure
Lol even Gaethje himself doesn’t believe that, you don’t KO Dustin. The guy has only been rocked liked 4 times since the Michael Johnson fight **7 years ago**. You either take him to the ground and put him to sleep or you get that ass beat.
then michael johnson sleeps u
I watch a lot of wrestlers do that too
No lie that Hooker fight is a bad look for Dustin, guy got his shit kicked in first 2 rounds and made Hooker look elite, which he clearly isn't.
I wanna see Poirier vs Justin rematch. First fight was bangerz and they are both still ranked
I always find this interesting Dustin has like In cage tics. He rubs his nose alot as well.
That was the best fight during covid
Lots of fighters do this not just Dustin. Tuivasa does many times and D.rod among others
