Early on in this fight, Brink can be seen battering his foe with a push kick and an onslaught of punches. From there, he&#8217;s able to drop his foe, where he&#8217;s able to land a few big, unanswered shots, which forced the referee to intervene. But Nehm wasn&#8217;t done yet.<\/p>\n<p>Once the referee had stopped the fight, Nehm latched onto him, and instead of letting go when the cobwebs had cleared, proceeded to take the official&#8217;s back, and very nearly put him down for a nap. Luckily, Nehm&#8217;s cornermen were able to intervene and stop their fighter before he coaxed the poor referee to sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this wild video in full at the top of this post (video via Zane Simon of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodyelbow.com\/2017\/3\/21\/15010026\/funny-mma-video-knockout-fighter-submits-ref-tapout-regional-event\">BloodyElbow.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>With this unfortunate outcome, Nehm&#8217;s record fell to a tough 1-3 overall. This loss marked the first knockout of his career. The victorious Brink, meanwhile, is now 3-1 in sum. No word on the referee&#8217;s record, but this sure looks like a loss for him.\u00a0This fight occurred on KOP&#8217;s 54th show.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this chaotic moment at KOP 54?
