its a good example of mma fighters applying their skills in 'the street'. or rather, in an alley ;)

it also shows the mentality of people involved in a 'rumble', most are going to go for KO's and not TRY to take it to the ground.

Since it got deleted:


In the Matt Hughes biography Made In America, Hughes relayed the incident as told to him by Miletich:

The entire alley erupted into a huge brawl. I was just standing there, and there were bodies flying all over the place. I was confused how it all happened, because it happened so fast. I was standing there with my mouth open like "what the hell is going on?" I looked over and Chuck Liddell was with his back against the wall, knocking people out that were trying to go after him. Then I looked over and there’s Tito directly past me, taking his coat off, going after Lee Murray, and Lee Murray’s backing up the alley taking his jacket off. Both their jackets come off, and Tito throws a left hook at Lee Murray and misses, and right as he missed, Lee Murray counters with, like, a five-punch combo, landed right on the chin, and knocked Tito out. OUT. Tito fell face-first down to the ground, and then Lee Murray stomped him on the face a couple of times with his boots. Then Tony Fryklund and I grabbed Lee and pushed Lee and said "Get out of here!" And Lee said "I’m sorry, I’ll see you later," and took off. And Tony Fryklund helped Tito to his feet.[2]

i wonder how hard he stomped with his boots too.

Tito looks like he has a pretty thick skull though.
