Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to be punched by a world-class MMA fighter?

Apparently, this fan did.

Some fans will ask their favorite fighters to sign autographs, take pics (usually involving said fans clenching their fists trying to out-Alpha the fighters), or sign bras (for the more adventurous ladies).

Some other fans are not satisfied with all of the above options though, so what do they do when they meet their favorite fighter and want the experience to be memorable?

Why, ask them to be punched as hard as possible, of course.

Being on the receiving end of a punch (to the arm in this case) never feels good. Duh.

But what about asking a perennial UFC welterweight contender, world-class MMA fighter, and boxing specialist to punch your arm as hard as he can?

If you answered that’d be crazy (‘suicidal’ works too), then congratulations, you are a mentally sane person.

I’m not saying the fan in the video below is not, but it sure takes A LOT of guts to ask Nick Diaz, of all people, to do his best to pound your arm.

You can see the fan displaying a concerned look on his face (who could blame him?), bracing himself before the punch. And then …

BABOOM.

Seriously, I can’t even begin to imagine the level of pain this fan felt.

He actually says ‘do it again!’ after the blow lands, but it actually is a very common reaction and a pretty good sign the blow did hurt like crazy, as observed in countless MMA fights where a fighter gets rock HARD, only to smile and ask for more.

Props to the brave fan, though. He surely wanted to make meeting Nick Diaz a memorable experience, and I’d say he did succeed!
