Face-offs have long been iconic both inside and outside the UFC, with moments like Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather often revisited by fans. While some face-offs escalate into the occasional expected brawl, Hardcore Fighting Championship (HFC), a Russian MMA promotion known for its viral antics, has delivered its latest bizarre spectacle, sparking hilarious reactions from fans.
A viral clip captures a post-fight stare-down spiraling into chaos at Hardcore Fighting Championship. After a victorious fighter in red trunks squared off with a potential future opponent, he attempted a double-leg takedown but was quickly countered with a guillotine choke, leaving him unconscious. The intense moment eventually led to others stepping in to separate the two. The dramatic scene even prompted one fan to comment, “The UFC needs to up their game!”
