5 of the most ridiculous things UFC fighters have done in the octagon

#3 Ben Rothwell, the hot stepper

This evil mastermind laugh isn't easily forgotten either

There exists a silver bullet when it comes to street-fighting; one that is as ancient as life itself. It is observable in nature, in the atavistic confrontations of fearsome beasts. Basically, it says that when you're up against an imposing opponent, you should just start going crazy! Stomp your feet, scream, bang your head against something and your challenger will get so unnerved that he or she won't want to get into it with an apparent loon and back off.

Sounds like the flat earth theory, right? Not to top UFC heavyweight Big Ben Rothwell who put it to the test, in the octagon of all places! And what's more, he passed with flying colours!

At UFC 164, Rothwell faced Brandon Vera and in the third round, suddenly broke into a hip-hop dance or something that made a lot of people squint their eyes and scratch their heads. Whatever it was, it worked; Rothwell TKO'd Vera a little after the freestyling display.

Ben Rothwell has not fought since losing to Junior Dos Santos last April and failed a drug test in March 2017, so it is unclear when he will return to the octagon.
