YouTube star Houston Jones, a self-described bodybuilder with a fanbase of around 1.43million subscribers, says that he “does stupid things for your entertainment.”
It must be said, however, choosing to get kicked really hard by a pro MMA fighter isn’t his brightest moment.
Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson, a veteran striker in the UFC, was dared by Jones to kick him in the legs so he could see what it felt like first hand to get attacked by a professional fighter.
The former two-time UFC welterweight champion challenger was more than happy to oblige the young internet sensation, despite, that is, having the ‘nicest mofo’ in the game as his nickname.
He can’t be that nice…
Jones uploaded a video to his channel on Friday with an initial caution to his fans with a message stating that the 13-minute clip was “for educational purposes only.”
We first see Thompson practicing a sequence of kicks in an MMA gym before acknowledging the YouTube sensation. He then proceeds to go about kicking Jones, in various positions too; with the latter even trying to arm himself with a kick shield, however, still getting knocked to the ground.
Thompson launches a kick at just ‘45% force’ at Jones, this time without his shield, and gets caught directly on his thigh, causing him to, once again, drop to the floor in a heap.
Regrettably, Jones can then be heard muttering “Oh God… this was a bad idea. You a*****e.”
Thompson does his best to try and console a ‘wounded’ Jones, who this point is in considerable pain.
Thompson can be heard saying: “You may not be able to walk for the next few weeks,” before later taunting him with the idea of amputating his legs.
Through the duration of the remainder of the video, we can see the damage done to Jones’ thigh courtesy of several close-ups of the wreckage caused by Thompson… ouch.
Let this serve as a grave reminder, don’t volunteer to get attacked by a professional MMA fighter…
