A YouTuber let a UFC fighter leg-kick him repeatedly, saw his hamstring go blue, and immediately regretted his life choices

• Houston Jones, a self-described bodybuilder on YouTube, says he "does stupid things for your entertainment."
• In a video he posted on his channel on Friday, he lived up to that billing as he continually dared Stephen Thompson, a renowned striker in the UFC, to leg-kick him.
• Thompson said he threw his shin into Jones' hamstring at only 45% force, but that was enough to cause considerable, painful bruising.
• As Jones questioned his life choices, Thompson appeared happy with his work.
• If you've ever wanted to see a YouTuber get kicked in the legs, you should be quite pleased with the footage below.

Houston Jones, a YouTuber with 1.43 million subscribers, says he's a bodybuilder who "does stupid things for your entertainment." Choosing to get kicked really hard by an MMA pro is certainly a stupid thing.

Jones dared Stephen "Wonderboy" Thompson, a renowned striker in the UFC, to kick his legs so he could see what it felt like to get attacked by a professional fighter.

Thompson, a former two-time UFC welterweight championship challenger, was all too happy to oblige, despite his moniker of the "nicest mofo" in the game.

A 13-minute video uploaded to Jones' channel on Friday begins with a warning screen saying it's "for educational purposes only," imploring the audience not to try it at home.

In the video, Thompson practices his kicks in an MMA gym before talking to Jones.

He then kicks Jones in a multitude of situations, including one where Jones is armed with a kick shield but still gets knocked to the ground.

Thompson then throws a kick that he says is at 45% force. Jones, who this time does not have the shield, takes the strike flush to the thigh and drops to the floor once more.

Jones can be heard breathing deeply and saying: "This was a bad idea. You asshole."

Knowing Jones is in considerable pain, Thompson tries to console him. "You may or may not be able to walk for the next few weeks," Thompson says, before teasing Jones by saying they may need to call somebody for an amputation.

The rest of the video features a few more kicks, concluding with a close-up of Jones' considerably bruised thigh. Thompson is to the side, seemingly pleased with his work.

Here's the close-up:

Jones posted a highlight from the video on Instagram:

The full video is on his YouTube channel:

Thompson's pro MMA record is 15 wins (seven knockouts, one submission, and seven decisions) against four losses.

His last bout was a decision win over Vicente Luque at UFC 244 in November 2019.
