Bisping’s followers never fail to deliver
Across all sports, sometimes the celebration of a great moment goes on to become more iconic than the feat itself.
MMA has got it’s fair share of memorable endings to a fight that were capped off with pure energy and emotion pouring out of an athlete.
In a recent post on social media, former UFC champion Michael Bisping asked fans to reply with the best-ever in-cage celebrations that we have seen in the promotion.
“The Count” made reference to UFC 287 where after defeating Alex Pereira for the first time, Israel Adesanya ran with his own take of his opponent’s signature bow and arrow pre-fight ritual by standing over the body of “Poatan” and shooting arrows into him.
Ask and you shall receive as the MMA fans stepped up to the task.
Bisping’s own podcast producer, Mike Harrington, set the tone for the responses to his post.
He picked out an iconic celebration but perhaps in its worst state, naming when Tito Ortiz stopped Chuck Liddell in their way past sell-by date trilogy fight in 2018.
Some fans chose to take the question a bit more seriously with many echoing Bisping’s example of Adesanya’s bow and arrow celebration.
Other nominations included Nate Diaz’s middle fingers, Chris Barnett’s flip, Jorge Masvidal’s plank and of course, the most recent nominee, Pereira’s taunt at UFC 300.
