A Kazakh MMA fighter’s celebration didn’t exactly go to plan after his latest victory at Octagon 41.
Teymur Zhaparov (12-3-1 MMA) had everything going his way in his fight against Zhakhongir Nazhmedinov (8-5-1 MMA) at the Octagon League show in Almaty this past Sunday. Zhaparov’s fighting IQ was on full display earning him a unanimous decision win on the night.
However, his luck appeared to run out after the final bell. The 31-year-old’s post-fight celebration quickly became a viral moment amongst the MMA community.
Whatever Zhaparov was planning on doing in that moment, it definitely didn’t entail him slipping from the top of the cage and falling hard to the ground.
The arena fell silent as fans in attendance were worried about a potential injury following such a hard fall. Nonetheless, fans were relieved to see ‘White Borz’ jump right back up to his feet.
