The sport of MMA thrives on trash-talk and intense, heated moments. The build-up to a fight determines the hype and eventually adds up to a fighter’s persona. Also, a similar effect is observed on the PPVs and ultimately establishes the success of the event. Notably, fighters like Conor McGregor and Chael Sonnen mastered the art of trash-talking, and their shenanigans only boosted the promotional numbers. A Brazilian fighter similarly employed a unique method as he engaged in a fiery dialogue with his opponent. Not only did he spit harsh words but also brought a knife to intimidate his opponent.

Markedly, the incident took place at the Brazilian MMA promotion Jungle Fight’s numbered event, 113, on December 2022. While both the fighters stood on the scale, one of them brought a knife along with him. What followed was a back-and-forth dig from both fighters that seemingly escalated very rapidly.

In the viral clip, the fans could witness one of the fighters deploying a seemingly sharp knife. While the sight could have caused a ruckus, all the individuals on the stage seemed unfazed.

Moreover, things took a hilarious turn when Wallid Ismail, the founder of Jungle Fight, grabbed the knife by its blade and threw it away.

How did the fans react to the insane ceremonial weigh-ins?

While some fans mentioned the hazard of such a promotional gimmick, others had a good laugh about it.
