Is this the quickest fight of all time? Is it even a fight?
These are questions to ponder as you watch the bizarreness that was a two-second "battle" at Lions Fights 23 in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. A bantamweight bout between Matheus Kokama and Michel Pantoja ended as it began – quite literally.
Pantoja (1-3) tapped out immediately upon the fight's start, leading to confusion and a big shrug from the referee. Kokama (1-4) also appeared baffled, trying to process what had just occurred.
So was it out of fear, an attempt to game the system for a paycheck, or something more nefarious?
Pantoja does not have the best record, but no past history of quitting at a fight's start – something that is not common, but not unheard of either.
