A one-armed MMA fighter overcame not one but TWO opponents in the cage, earning a big win in Epic Fighting Championship earlier this year.

Introducing Alexander Karapetyan who scored a huge victory in Russia as he defeated two opponents in one fight.

Karapetyan, who has just a right arm, faced Sanya Shyp, 34, and 'Lexus', 21, at the same time in a peculiar two-on-one handicap match.

Despite the odds being stacked against him, Karapetyan emerged victorious after winning a decision.

He knocked out his first opponent with absolute ease, landing a devastating head-kick that sent him crumbling to the canvas.

After just four seconds, the cage side doctor declared him to be out of the contest.

Karapetyan fought Shyp aggressively, stalking him down - throwing a slew of right-hooks. He also connected with a bunch of leg-kicks.

The disabled fighter, however, failed to stop his other opponent, but done enough on the judges' scorecards to win a decision.

All three participants shook hands at the end of the bizarre match-up.

Karapetyan isn't the only one-armed fighter trading blows inside the cage.

Nick Newell, a congenital amputee fighter, made a name for himself in America before securing a big title fight against Justin Gaethje.

Newell racked up 11 wins in a row before earning a title shot at World Series of Fighting.

He fought Gaethje for the WSOF lightweight title back in July 2014.

However, he succumbed to the now-UFC star, suffering a TKO in the second round.

But Newell's one-on-one bout is a far cry from Karapetyan two-on-one showdown in Russia.
