An MMA fighter got lit up by the ref during a recent bout.

According to BroBible, a ref at an IFAVIS fight in Russia had to fight a guy literally seconds after the athlete was knocked out. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

In a video tweeted by @itselzee, you can see the ref seemingly choke the guy out after he attempts to brawl with him. Give the absurd situation a watch below.

I think it’s safe to say we’re all used to seeing some crazy stuff when it comes to the world of MMA, but this is just on a different level.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a ref fight someone in my entire life in combat sports. That’s next level insanity.

Furthermore, if you asked who I’d guess would win in a fight between an MMA guy and a ref, I’d always choose the former.

Yet, that’s not at all what happened here. The ref dominated that dude with seemingly no effort at all. In terms of getting embarrassed, that’s about as bad as it could possibly get.

The man was put out twice in the span of a few seconds. Good luck ever shaking this one off!
