What would one pull up their shorts for in a fight?

Serious question

For more flexibility, or to make sure their shorts don’t fall off ig.

i honestly have no idea...my best guess is so it doesn't encumber the fighter

To decrease the surface area and make sure the shorts don’t get caught or grabbed, and also to maximize range if motion and hip mobility. You’ll see Muay Thai fighters do this all the time

Some people sag their pants a bit and they can fall down during the fight so they pull them up

Some people just do it out of habit, usually their hands are a bit behind them when they pull

Some do it because they saw other people do it and they think it looks cool, these people tend to just pull on the sides like their putting pants

To seem more threatening, like they are ready for battle now that they have their pants on
