Shocking footage has emerged from Canada of an MMA fighter being knocked out when he thought he was about to touch gloves with the other martial artist at the start of the bout.

The video, filmed in Regina, shows the two fighters approach each other with one of the men showing good sportsmanship by attempting to touch gloves, letting his guard down in the process.

The other fighter then lands a punch to the head, knocking his opponent to the floor.
