Interview with Michael Jackson impersonator Santana Jackson (Credits: TMZ via YouTube)
Michael Jackson impersonator Santana Jackson recently got into a fight in Las Vegas. A passer-by is said to have attacked him without warning.
“This guy came up to me and I thought he wanted to compliment me, but he slapped me in the face,” Jackson says. “At first I wanted to talk to him but he kept hitting me so I had to hit back. I didn’t want to hurt him.”
The subsequent wrestling match between the two was captured on video:

There is also enough time for a moonwalk in the boxing ring
In the fight, Jackson clearly had the upper hand. Almost with ease, he wrestled the attacker to the ground. Because what the passerby could not know: Santana is not only a Michael Jackson impersonator, but also a professional wrestler. He remains in the ring in the costume of the “King of Pop” and builds in one or the other moonwalk during his fights:
Incidentally, after the altercation, Santana did not allow herself to be thrown out of routine. Without further ado, he continued his Michael Jackson performance into the wee hours of the morning. After all, the show must go on.
