Footage has circulated of an MMA fighter putting his opponent's mouthguard back in before pummelling him on the ground.
In the 15-second video clip, which has been over 400,000 times on Twitter, the unnamed fighter takes his opponent back before eventually finding himself in top mount. During the scramble on the ground, the fighter in the bottom position loses his mouthguard and instead of relying on the referee to briefly pause the action, the fighter on top puts it back in for his opponent before reigning down some heavy punches.
It's unclear when the fight is from and who the two fighters in the viral clip are, but fans have suggested the fighter on top is UFC middleweight Dricus Du Plessis. The South African fighter, who is a former two-weight champion for EFC, most recently tapped out Darren Till at UFC 282 in Las Vegas last month.
