(We suspect the only time this dude balls up his fists is when he does the Dougie)
We’ve all seen him. The guy who works for a construction company in Boise, Idaho who has never thrown a punch in his life, but insists on throwing up a fist every time he poses for a photo with a fighter or anyone else even loosely linked to the sport.
Just stop. You look ridiculous and even the fighter (reporter, ring announcer, cutman etc.) in the photo with you is shaking his head, wondering why the hell you do that. You aren’t a fighter and you aren’t a kid. Do you pretend you’re playing air guitar when you get your picture taken with Slash? Do you pretend you’re performing fellatio when you pose for a photo with a porn star? Yes? Well then you have bigger problems than we thought.
This affliction affects men, women and children of all ages and from all walks of life.
Even reporters aren’t immune to the disease:
Joe Rogan summed up the bizarre phenomenon a couple years back.
“These days everyone’s phone has a camera, and everyone wants a picture of them holding their fist up standing next to Randy Couture on their facebook page. That is easily one of the weirdest and goofiest things about MMA fans; the fist-up pose with the fighter. I can’t think of another sport that has a pose that the fans take when they get pictures with the athletes where they mimic the activity they enjoy watching. It’s not just a few guys striking this dopey pose, either. It’s the majority. I can completely understand if you’re a fighter yourself, and you want an image of camaraderie with one of your sporting idols, but if you’re an overweight short order cook who’s never even taken a tae bo class, do the world a favor and keep your fucking fist un-balled when you’re standing next to Anderson Silva.”
We’re calling this trend. Time of death, 1:00 pm ET on November 23. It’s over. Take a minute to say your goodbyes and then we’re taking this bitch to the crematorium.
