This kneebar looks incredibely painful so no wonder the guy tapped out real quick.

We don’t know about you but we have to do a few stretches before we tie our shoelaces these days. Our hammies are tighter than piano strings and we live in constant fear of one pinging if we even try to run up the stairs at SportsJOE Towers.

That’s why watching this video, from an MMA fight in the US recently, has us rolling around like we’ve been shot in the back of the thigh.

In the Phoenix Fighting Challenge, a flyweight called Tyler Stokes pulled this spladle/kneebar move on a poor unfortunate named Jesse Thacher, who understandably tapped out just 41 seconds into the fight.

We’re all praying for your hamstring Jesse.
