Where did "shushing "the crowd come from?

[HHJ]

It’s meant to signify the opponent is dead/sleeping, so show some respect and be quiet. Makes most sense after knocking someone out or putting them to sleep

No its not lmao

Its not a respectful thing to do at all.

 

[MileHigher]

It’s not directed at the crowd TS. Come on lol…

 

[HHJ]

That has literally never happened iirc

Amanda Nunes did it when she beat Rousey

 

[MileHigher]

I thought it was meant to represent silencing the critics, not silencing the crowd. Though it's an interesting question of who popularized it.

You are correct.

 

[FIghtxIQ]

Lol I must
Be an idiot. I thought they do it to be like “shhh he’s sleeping, don’t wake him up”

It can mean both. Some people do the sleeping hands to the side of the head as well as the shhhh on their mouth. It's meant to silence the critics or shhh the person is sleeping, that's why they do it after a KO/TKO.

[DIRTYCOP]

You know, where the fighter puts his index finger up to his lips and goes "shhhh" like you do to a child.
I hate that shit.
I don't get why someone would to hush the crowd from cheering for their performance?
Whoever started that is on my list. Js

[Vampire life]

Did I mention I hate that shit?

Soccer (Football) after scoring an away goal

Sushing/hushing the fans of the home team

This.
It transcends all sports , why? I've seen it In.the NFL, NBA, Soccer, etc. It's especially annoying in MMA, imo.

 

[misterfurious]

It’s stupid and I hope everyone who does it gets mauled by a grizzly bear.

Respect. Lol, I have a few ideas.
Fishhook.
Eye gouge.
Nut punch.

I'll stop now.

 

[WhosTheBoss]

It is annoying and I agree. Stupid.

 

[pride_rules]

rony jason vs mike wilkinson

now whats my prize?

 

[pride_rules]

that was back in 2013 on fuel tv. cant remember an older shhhhhh in ufc

 

[kingghidrah]

I agree it is disrespectful, maybe it will be replaced by something more respectful, like mock-buttfucking your opponent

 

[pride_rules]

That has literally never happened iirc

sure it has.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

It’s lame as fuck. And I definitely remember Amanda doing it. It’s the most cringey thing I’ve ever seen. She’s the GOAT, but it’s still the lamest thing I’ve ever seen. And Ngannou can stuff it too.

You literally cannot come up with your own thing?

 

[Hypetrainofthemonth]

Wouldn't be surprised if there was documented case from roman gladiator times.

 

[loisestrad]

They are in fact shushing the ones who're hating on shushing.

 

[Sickbro69420]

Amanda Nunes popularized it. Johanna does it a lot as well and then the other people who do it are in the same group who are going to shock the world. I guess I'm saying some of these phrases and gestures are used incorrectly by a lot of people. But whatever. They're in the moment.
