"What a fraud" - Fans troll Amir Albazi's "embarrassing" failed attempt to pull off Max Holloway's 'point to the ground' trend at UFC Edmonton

Amir Albazi failed miserably to execute Max Holloway's signature move, which elicited reactions from MMA fans worldwide. Many slammed Albazi for attempting the move, while some bashed his performance against Brandon Moreno.

Albazi headlined UFC Edmonton in a flyweight bout against Moreno this past Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Canada, in hopes of carrying forward his unbeaten streak and possibly a title contention down the line. However, the Iraqi took a beating from the former champion, as Moreno put up a dominant performance against him.

During the last 30 seconds of the final round, Albazi, bloodied up by Moreno's sharp strikes, gestured towards the ground, implying a stand-up fight with the 30-year-old just like Holloway did to Justin Gaethje at UFC 300.

However, the 31-year-old showed little interest in the stand and bang as he continued to move backward after getting hit by Moreno.

Fans soon rushed to the comments section to share their reactions.

One fan bashed Albazi, writing:

''What a fraud. Which everyone already knew after that joke gifted decision vs KKF''

Another fan stated:

''All these points downs since Holloway KO and they all been embarrassing, good idea tho when down all 5 rounds''

Other fans wrote:

''Dead division, shut it down, Albazi gets fraud checked once again, and Moreno can't finish a fraud, Pantoja will become the goat by smudging''

''Man these dudes who point and then cover up and back up is stupid. You already lost at that point Albazi might as well just got knocked out trying for the hail mary''
