Back then everyone was talking about the crowd and it being dangerous fighting down there because there were riots in the crowd and all that stuff. I went down there and it was my third mixed martial arts fight. We get in there and everyone is getting out of the ring and I looked at my trainer and said, \u2018Is that his manager right there?\u2019 \u2018I think so.\u2019 \u2018Oh!\u2019 His manager was the referee. I was like, \u2018This ain\u2019t sounding too good.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was one 30-minute round.  Bare knuckles. Everything was legal; groin strikes were legal. No Eye gouging, no biting and no grabbing the ropes \u2013 oh, and no oil. You couldn\u2019t put oil on. Those are the rules they had. It was really interesting actually.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had a net \u2013 it was in a ring and they had a net from the bottom rope down to the apron. By the end of the fight, I had him stuffed underneath that thing and I was leaning out and hitting him through the net.
