One of the most awaited moments ahead of any fight is the face-off. To see your opponent dead in the eye and give him a glimpse of what’s coming. A staredown is an opportunity for the fighters to get in the heads of their opponents and try to play with their minds before they fight each other. Uncertainty also comes into play during a staredown; sometimes, the fighters try to throw hands at each other. And, some other times, fighters push each other. But, face-offs can take a totally different turn sometimes, giving the fans to witness something they’ve never seen.
Recently, during a face-off between two female fighters, both fighters liked each other’s presence so much that they seemed to be infatuated with each other. And did something no one present at the time expected.

Boxing Kingdom took to Twitter to share a video from a face-off between two female fighters. This face-off was different from any other one because the two fighters seemed to have some affection towards each other which they publicly displayed at the staredown.

Both the fighters in the video take things to the next level. When one leaned in for a kiss, the other did not hold herself back. This is not something the fans generally see during a face-off. As the duo kissed, the crowd went berserk and could not hold back from reacting with laughter to the whole scene.
But the first kiss wasn’t enough for the duo. After the duo kissed, one of them held the hand of the other and reigned her in for a kiss on the cheek. It is safe to say that the fans did not expect to watch this sensational face-off. Another face-off that made the news was between Jake Paul and the UFC star Anderson Silva.

Michael H thinks this is bound to happen even though face-offs are meant to be intimidating.
Honestly, I always think that’s going to happen when they do those face to face things for boxing or MMA. I know it’s supposed to be intimidating but to me it looks like they’re looking deep into each other’s eyes about to kiss.
