If you have ever seen the movie 300, you are probably aware of the scene where Leonidas, King of Sparta, exclaims, “This is Sparta,” and then executes a push kick that sends a messenger plummeting into a deep, dark hole.
Well, Jon Jones and several other members of Jackson’s MMA in Albuquerque, N.M. recently videoed Andrei Arlovski, who bares a striking resemblance to Leonidas, replicating the “This is Sparta” kick during some downtime at the gym.
As you can see in the video, Arlovski attempted the kick on the much smaller flyweight John Dodson, who was sent flying backwards by the Belarusian heavyweight.
Arlovski has lost four consecutive fights, three by way of brutal knockout, but the former UFC heavyweight champion has said that he will continue to fight against the advice of some of his personal trainers and outside medical professionals.
