Marcus Foligno looked like an MMA fighter during a fight on Tuesday night.

The Minnesota Wild winger got into a fight with Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon toward the end of the first period. As the two players were sizing each other up, Foligno leaped in the air toward Dillon and threw a superman punch.

That fight seemed to be a predictor of how the game would go. The Wild ended up winning 6-5 in overtime.

However, Foligno also drew attention for a punch to the back of Pierre-Luc Dubois’ head.
