Dillon Danis was disqualified from his fight with Logan Paul after attempting an MMA guillotine choke in the closing stages of the bout.
There was bad blood between the two men in the build-up to fight following Danis' comments about Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal, who has taken legal action against the MMA fighter.
Danis and Paul were involved in a physical altercation at Thursday's press conference, which left the YouTuber-turned-boxer with a cut close to his eye after being struck with a microphone.

Despite that incident, the fight went ahead as planned on Saturday night.
In the end, it turned out to be a farcical contest - with Danis dominated from start to finish by Paul.
There were bizarre scenes at point in the fight, when Danis dropped to the floor and took up an MMA guard.
Danis refused to engage with Paul for the majority of the bout, which ended in chaotic scenes when the MMA fighter attempted a guillotine choke in the final moments.

Dozens of individuals from both camps invaded the ring, including Logan Paul's younger brother Jake, with security forced to separate the two groups.
Paul was eventually announced as the winner of the fight, with Danis disqualified for his actions.
He then subsequently called out WWE superstar Rey Mysterio in his post-fight interview.

"I've got my eye on something, I've got my eye on someone," said Paul.
"I'm an American boy and I want that US title. Rey Mysterio, I already beat you once brother.
"And I'm coming for that US Championship!"
