Emiliano Rivera, take a bloody bow!

The amateur kickboxer did himself proud as he endured a left hand to the body like an absolute champion. It wasn't just any left hand, by the way. It was the left hand owned by UFC heavyweight Mark Hunt, one of the hardest hitters in UFC history. Australian kickboxing legend John Wayne Parr filmed the whole thing and uploaded it to his YouTube page on Tuesday evening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxOO8yf2GG4 Rivera, whose nickname is 'Noodles', smiled through the shot that would have sent most grown men to the mat gasping for air. UFC commentator and close friend of Parr, Joe Rogan, was more than a little impressed by Rivera's toughness. "That is insane. The stuff of nightmares," Rogan wrote on his Facebook page. "Nothing scarier than a guy that can laugh off a full power Mark Hunt body shot." And it turns out that 'Noodles' isn't too bad at doling out punishment either. Just take a look at his six-second kickboxing debut for proof of that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCf3I8NJ7Is
