I really dislike backflip celebrations. Sure, it must be awesome to do a backflip, but if you’re not careful, you’re going to hurt yourself. That is exactly what happened to the young man in this video. After getting a win, he tried a backflip and ended up flat on his back, presumably knocking the wind out of him and smacking his head. It serves him right. Hopefully, other fighters learn a lesson from this.

After getting a win, he tried a backflip and ended up doing a face plant.

Uh, I’m not a doctor, but I think he landed on his back.

I like how the video was labeled MMA Backflip Fail and the post wound up that way too.

WTF was he trying to do? There was no attempt to do a backflip. It was more of a half-assed, albeit thoroughly awesome Nestea Plunge.

Krazy Horse Bennett is the only one who should do a back flip in celebration in mma.

i saw this somewhere else and the author seemed to thing this act was performed prior to the fight. Either way, he failed miserably.

Would probably get his shit pushed in fighting in UFC, but it would be fun to watch.

I wish I could find some of this magical instant tea that will apparently separate from the pool water it was spilled into and pour itself back into the glass to be enjoyed anew while one is drying off.

Yep. As of today her job is to knock pictures off the wall every time John so much as masturbates. RI(relative)P.
