Touching gloves at the beginning of the round is the only time in MMA in which two opponents can come in contact without the intent of cutting the other’s consciousness short. It’s usually a sign of respect, unless you fake touching gloves only to go for a double-leg takedown. In this scenario, if you’re facing Johnathon Harris at Legacy Fights, you’re probably going to get kneed directly in the head and knocked in five seconds. Moral of the story, don’t fight in Houston.
