Keep that pimp hand strong Deiveson Figueiredo. Brazilian promotion Jungle Fights is known for having some wacky finishes to their Fight Pass aired events. At Jungle Fights 90 we got not only a knockout of the year nominee but maybe the first backhanded knockout in MMA history.
For every awesome KO MMA gives us, there has to be someone on the receiving end of a a few lost brain cells. After a striking exchange Denis Oliveira Fontes left himself open to get pimp slapped in the center of the cage. Striking counters, takedown defense and now backhanded slap protection must now be added to Fontes’ next training camp agenda.
Play on Figueiredo, play on.
