MMA fighter KO'd in seconds as 'fake glove touch' goes disastrously wrong

MMA fighter Dario Sinagoga was dealt a swift blast of karma during a recent fight as he lost his undefeated record within seconds following a fake glove touch.

Irishman Sinagoga, who is based out of Vancouver, was 6-0 heading into his bout with Ash Mashreghi last night at BFL's Canada vs USA card. The Bray native went for the traditional touch of gloves as he stepped to the centre of the cage, but quickly shot for a clinch in an effort to bring the fight to the ground.

However, Mashreghi saw it coming and quickly reversed the position, coming in with an uppercut that floored the Irish fighter. Sinagoga recovered well and was back on his feet shortly after, but was quickly put down again and the referee stepped in to call a stop to the bout after just 11 seconds of action.
