Bellator fighter knocks opponent out and celebrates by throwing a pokeball at him









Michael "Venom" Page and Cyborg Santos faced off at Bellator 158, but after watching this clip, Page's main focus may not have been the fight itself. As grimacing as the flying knee was that ended their fight, Page's post-fight celebration might have hurt more.


Page didn't even wait to see his opponent get up. He immediately rushed back to his corner to get a few props - a damn Pokemon trainer hat and a pokeball. He put the hat on, showed the pokeball to the audience and then gently rolled it to Santos. Gotta catch 'em all, right?


Not even work can get in the way of the Pokemon Go craze.


But seriously, this has to be one of the most disrespectful celebrations in recorded history. Most disses are traditionally accepted as such; you know that someone stepping over you is almost universally considered to be done out of ill will, but going out of the way to be both cold-blooded and viral with something completely new? Now that's some next level ingenuity.


It's still really cool to watch though.
