In today’s world where content is king and virality can make anyone an overnight sensation, people resort to any and every level to achieve it. From prank videos to failed videos to staged videos, content creators online have tried it all.
A popular way of going viral on the internet is through the medium of pranks. People love watching it and they have great repeat value. One such creator walked on the streets in pursuit of creating a prank video and going viral, but ended up paying a hefty price for his want. Uploaded on X by the popular page ‘Fight Mate’, a video clip showed the moment a pursuit for getting viral and generating views proved costly for this young man.

The clip showed a young boy walking up to another man from behind. It was unclear what path the prank was going to take, but that man was not having any of it. As soon as he turned his back to him, he unleashed his wrath and delivered a UFC-like punch to the boy.

The punch would make any UFC fighter proud as it instantly knocked out the boy. The friend of the boy, who was recording the video, could not believe what just happened. He yelled as the man just walked away after that brutal UFC-like punch.
The man came back for more than he chased a third friend on the road. The cameraman too finally got enraged and started running towards them, perhaps in order to take revenge.

Netizens had quite contrasting thoughts about the whole violent interaction. Let’s take a look at some reactions.
