They say confidence can take a person to places they never imagined, but it can be quite misplaced. A viral video circulating on social media showed a young, confident man challenging a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu trained fighter to a street fight. The man, however, had no formal training or lessons of any kind.
All he had in his arsenal was his unwavering confidence. It led him to get involved in an intense grappling contest that ended in the most predictable manner possible. Let’s find out what happened to the untrained, confident fighter. Uploaded on X by the popular page ‘STREET FIGHT HARD’, the video had over 100k views at the time of writing the article.

The protagonist of the video, or so he believed, was the shirtless man, who was ready to battle it out against the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter. It started out with little fuss and intensity, with both of them waiting for the other to make the first move.
Eventually, the shirtless man tried to grab hold of the other man but failed. “BJJ vs straight nothing” said the cameraman as both of them continued their street fight. It didn’t take the other man too long before he showed his skill and fighting prowess.
He slammed the man straight onto the floor within a matter of seconds, catching him completely off-guard. He had his arm locked behind his back and from here on out, it was a one-sided street fight.

The shirtless man struggled to break free and the lock’s grip just got stronger. With both legs on top of him, the man was yelling in pain as the fighter teased and taunted him. The cameraman yelled, “It’s done” signalling to the man to go easy and let him loose.

Rodrigo credited the man’s misguided confidence to action movies, saying no sane person would take on a fight against a jiu-jitsu trained fighter.
Haha, this guy must have watched too many action movies! No way he stands a chance against a BJJ guy! 😂

For an untrained fighter to go against a man trained in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a recipe for disaster. Like I said in the start, sometimes confidence can come back to bite you.
