Cornerman lands shocking punch on opposing fighter

An MMA fight in Ireland has ended in farcical circumstances after a low blow and two eye pokes resulted in a no contest, while a post-bout dust-up saw a cornerman punch the opposition fighter.

Northern Irishman Norman Parke and Pole Mateusz Gamrot co-headlined KSW 40 in Dublin on Sunday night in what was supposed to end their rivalry.

Their fight at KSW 39 in May this year, won by Gamrot, ended in controversy after Parke was bitten on the finger.

The feisty rivalry took another turn for the worse this weekend, first when Parke missed weight -- causing the fight to be changed from five rounds to three -- and then with the bout itself.

Gamrot hit Parke with a low blow and an eye poke in the first round, with the referee calling a no-contest result in the second round following a second eye poke.

While Parke claimed Gamrot is an unorthodox fighter, punching with open hands, Gamrot felt his opponent was keen to get out of the fight and overplayed the incidents.

"He just used the excuse that something happened, the eye poke, and he knew that he was losing already," Gamrot told Obviously Fight Talk through a translator.

It all kicked off after the fight.

As Parke put it, he and Gamrot's camp came together in the cage to discuss -- and own up to -- the eye pokes.

"Boris, I don't even really have a problem with Boris but he came across and I said Boris, it's a finger in the eye, admit it, please, one of you boys f***ing admit it," he told reporters.

"One of his cornermen said 'yeah, yeah, I see', but then Boris is trying to be just a hard man full of steroids. They're all full of steroids, them boys.

"Then wee weasel sneaks in the back and throws a punch. I say, man, (if) we see you at the hotel, you're getting strangled."

Gamrot did not feel anything was out of order on his end.

"He pushed Boris, he started swearing at him, so it was just a normal reaction of the corner," he said through the translator.

It appears neither fighter -- especially Gamrot -- wants a trilogy.

The incident echoed a boxing cornerman's punch earlier this year:
