Hey, give Dakota Bush points for trying.
The lightweight out of Missouri was looking to do … umm … something on Friday night in his LFA 67 bout against Jaleel Willis.
Maybe he was going for a flying knee? Maybe he was trying something completely new that we’ve never seen before. Maybe if he pulled off whatever he was trying, the video would go viral, and we’d be talking about the most innovative move in MMA since Anthony Pettis unveiled “The Showtime Kick.”
Alas, we’ll never know, because Willis simply sidestepped Bush, who flew through the air in a manner resembling a pro wrestler attempting a high-velocity dropkick, then went crashing to the mat.
Here’s Bush’s attempt at whatever he was trying to do, via @Grabaka_Hitman on Twitter:
That’s how the night went for Bush, who dropped a unanimous decision to Willis. But we’re sure he’ll be back. Bush is 6-2 in his career and has three rear-naked choke submission wins in his past five fights. If he builds upon what he’s obviously skilled at, we’ll write about him again some day.
And hey, we’re having a little fun here, but there’s no shame in trying.
