Watch: Shane Young Performed Legendary Maori Haka at The Face-offs of UFC 253

At an eventful face-off segment, Shane Young, a fighter from down under displayed his aggression via a traditional act.

Shane Young, who is set to face Ludovit Klein at UFC 253, channelized his inner kiwi at the face-off segment. While walking towards his opponent the New Zealander showcased moves of the traditional Maori Haka. The same ceremonial dance that NZ’s national Rugby team proudly exhibits before their every match.

It was not something usual, and Dana White’s expression summed it up. However, UFC 253 is a marquee event, where the spotlight is on every fighter, and Shane Young evidently made the most of it.

Shane Young Vs. Ludovit Klein, is a featherweight clash which is featured in the preliminary card of UFC 253.
