However, there are cases when one of the fighters behaved despicably and clearly demonstrated unsportsmanlike behavior. It is these cases that will be discussed in this article.

A.J. Agazarm vs Cris Lencioni

---

---

The fight took place at Bellator 243 in August 2020. Bellator’s rising star, seasoned grappler A.J. Agazarm entered the octagon against Cris Lencioni. At the end of three rounds, the judges justly gave the victory to Lencioni, but Agazarm did not want to admit his defeat. He refused to shake hands with his opponent and arranged and behaved unprofessionally. It is worth mentioning that Lencioni also began to grimace in front of A.J., who refused to shake hands, thereby showing that they were standing each other.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

At that time, undefeated fighters Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones met in a duel at UFC 182 in 2015. Before the fight, there was a serious conflict between the fighters, which gave the fight even more interest.

---

Throughout almost the entire fight, Jones had the advantage and, after five rounds, confidently took the victory. A few seconds before the end of the fifth round, Jon Jones threw up his hands in the air to signal that the fight was over and he won it. Daniel stopped fighting without any suspicion and waited for the final gong to sound. At this point, Jones struck at the already distracted Cormier, which showed his contempt for Cormier. Did Jon Jones act like a real fighter? Definitely not.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Irvins Ayala vs Drew Chatman

---

The fight took place at the LFA 36 tournament in March 2018. Ayala was already knocked out in the first round, however, it seemed not enough for Chatman. He stood on the opponent’s back and made a somersault from there. For this act, Chatman was disqualified, and the victory was given to Irvis.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]

Erick Silva vs Nordine Taleb

---

Welterweight fighters Erick Silva and Nordine Taleb met at UFC 196. Traditionally, at the beginning of a fight and during it, as a sign of respect, most fighters touch each other with their front hand gloves. Taking advantage of this, in the second half of the first round, Silva struck a sneaky blow with which he showed his disrespect for the opponent. However, in the second round, justice prevailed and Nordine Taleb successfully caught Erick Silva on a counterattack, sending the latter to a beautiful knockout.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

Josh Koscheck vs Paul Daley

---

The fight took place back in 2010 at UFC 113. The stakes were high because the winner of this fight went to the title fight against Georges St-Pierre.

Having a clear advantage in wrestling skills, Koscheck, over and over again transferred Daley to the ground, where he completely controlled the course of the fight. This went on for three rounds. Immediately after the fight was over, a frustrated Daley walked up to Koscheck and unexpectedly struck. After this incident, Paul was fired from the UFC, and his career clearly began to decline.[/vc_column_text][vc_raw_html]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[/vc_raw_html][vc_column_text]

Unfortunately, I was not able to establish the names of the fighters and when the fight took place, but it seemed funny how karma instantly overtook one of the fighters, who showed a greeting with his hand, but immediately decided to go to his feet, bumping into the opponent’s knee.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
