Altidore began his mixed martial arts career this year and has a 1-1 record with 1 knockout as an amateur. He has been known to take body shots from fighters like PFL fighters Abdul “Lazy King” Abduragimov and Beisungul “Baki” Chamsoudinov, and has even landed a few knees to the body just for fun. This is just insane.
As for the man throwing the punches in the video above, Gane was scheduled to fight Tom Aspinall again for the interim UFC heavyweight title at UFC 304 next month, but pulled out due to filming commitments.
It's a good thing that Gane is honing his bodywork by punching other fighters.
Hopefully, the French fighter will be back when UFC returns to Paris this September, and he'll be carrying the torch for France at the 2024 Olympic Games.
