A fighter's actions in the immediate aftermath of his victory resulted in fists being thrown outside of the cage.
Max Holzer and Deniz Ilbay faced off in the main event of Oktagon 69 in Dortmund, Germany -- a battle of noteworthy European featherweight prospects.
The finish of the fight saw Holzer lock up a rear-naked choke in the fourth round of the bout, scoring a tapout. But immediately after the successful submission, Holzer planted a kiss on Ilbay's head before performing a sexually-implicit taunt against Ilbay.
