An impersonator of Michael Jackson who is also a wrestler was captured taking on a pest that slapped him in Las Vegas.
Over the weekend, the brawl started when the man wearing green began throwing a few leg punches at Santana Jackson, a professional wrestler, and the Michael Jackson impersonator.
Jackson then slapped the man on the head with a sharp ‘Billie Jean’ kick. After having had his hair pulled, Jackson placed the man in a headlock and the men were separated soon afterwards.
This video was shot on Freemont St., Sin City’s most famous gambling street. Marcus Deegan, a Twitter user, recorded the event and shared it with the caption “WELCOME to FREEMONT STEET!” Hee hee.
This post has received more than 1.5 million views in just two days.
A man can be seen in the video wearing a green T-shirt and playing with Santana Jackson on the streets, who is also a professional wrestler.
The reason for the fight between the men isn’t clear, however Jackson stated on Instagram that Jackson was attempting to put the other man down.
Video begins with a green-t-shirted man squaring off against the Michael Jackson impersonator at Freemont Street, Las Vegas.

The Michael Jackson impersonator takes control of his opponent as he puts him into a bulldog choke. This is a submission-style headlock.
He is clearly regretting starting the fight and can be seen closing his eyes. The crowd can hear him saying, ‘He’s out.
A bystander in the crowd shouted for help as other men were seperating the two men.
The loser didn’t seem to have learned, and he got up in a fight position as though he was ready for another round with the impersonator of the King of Pop.

Reacting to Jackson’s victory, Twitter users poked fun at Jackson and applauded the street performers by making reference to the King of Pop’s greatest songs.
Jackson explained that Jackson was not trying to hurt the man, but to keep him from hitting me with his fists despite all of the positive reviews.
“Please understand that fighting is not the solution. If possible, avoid getting into a fight. Keep safe,” she added.
