This certainly was an unexpected series of events.
When kickboxer Harut Grigorian turned his back on opponent Murthel Groenhart during their match at Glory 42, it turned out to be a catastrophic error. The ref didn’t stop the match, and Groenhart knocked out Grigorian while he wasn’t looking. It was completely in the rules, but it was certainly a controversial finish.
That in itself would have been a memorable moment – but what happened next was even wilder. Two spectators jumped into the ring to attack Groenhart, leading to a brawl with trainers and staff.

“Defend yourself at all times!” the commentator yells as Grigorian lies on the floor – good advice he should have taken.
