Watch MMA Fighter Pretend to Catch Opponent in Poke Ball

MMA fighter Michael “Venom” Page is apparently just the latest person to get caught up in the Pokemon Go craze.

At tonight’s Bellator MMA match in London, Page knocked down his opponent with a brutal knee kick and then proceeded to celebrate in Pokemon style. Watch as he tosses a Poke Ball at his opponent, Evangelista Santos (via Kotaku).

Pokemon Go, as you might have heard, is game where you catch Pokemon in the real world. It’s taking the world by storm, and, presumably due to the popularity, its servers have been unstable. Just today, players reported that the servers went down, though they appear to be back up now.

Trainers! We have been working to fix the #PokemonGO server issues. Thank you for your patience. We’ll post an update soon.
