It takes a lot of b*lls to step into the ring, or octagon in this case, and face down an opponent as an amateur MMA fighter, but it takes even bigger b*lls to try some fancy footwork before you make a mark in the fight.

That’s exactly what happened to his lad who clearly has massive cojones as well as an impeccable dress sense.

The fight in question took place in Spokane, Washington, recently, and it saw our would be hero attempting Anthony Pettis’ famous flying superkick only to fail… spectacularly.

Here’s a look at the amateur fail in question…

In fairness to the lad who failed his superkick, YouTuber Matt M says: “The guy went on to win the fight with the loser almost fighting the ring judge.”

Now we REALLY want to see what happened after this failed superkick.
