'UFC vet Diego Brandao (22-12) took on fellow lightweight Akhmed Aliev (16-4) in the day’s featured attraction, but the fight had a premature and confusing end.

Aliev had some success punishing Brandao with body shots, but when the fight hit the mat late in the second round, the 27-year-old Russian appeared to throw some punches after the ref called for a standup. Brandao, who already seemed to be tagged with some illegal shots, then answered with an illegal kick of his own to Aliev’s neck.

As the ref tried to regain order, an incensed Brandao simply hopped over the fence and exited the cage as fans hurled projectiles.

It resulted in a loss for Brandao – and an angry crowd...

I skimmed four articles I think, and they all have a slightly different version of events. One said Brandao had been headbutted prior as well, and one said it looked like Brandao was biting Aliev's ear on the ground. Weird stuff.

Crazy sequence, the referee is to partly to blame here, he wasn't breaking the fighters properly, turned his back on a reset, didn't seem in control all.

When the shit started flying into the cage I don't blame Brandao for getting out of there
