This is the wickedest looking kneebar/spladle we’ve ever seen…
If you’re anything like us, flexibility is definitely not your forte and you pull a hamstring just thinking about bending down. We like to think our flexibility is somewhere along the line of Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory.
Everyone knows about the sometimes brutal nature of MMA and how you have to be a top quality athlete just to be able to compete. This involves good cardio, great skills and very importantly, a lot of flexibility.
But we think no amount of flexibility would have helped poor flyweight Jesse Thacher who was caught in this highly painful and contorting move by his opponent Tyler Stokes at the Pheonix Fighting Challenge.
Unsurprisingly, Thacher tapped out and conceded the fight rather than suffer from his leg being ripped from his body.
We always think we would like to try MMA and then we see things like this that scare the sh*t out of us…
