MMA fighter won thanks to his opponent’s uncontrollable barfing

An MMA fight in Michigan over the weekend had to be stopped when a fighter began throwing up in the middle of the ring mid-round. That’s your warning, turn back now if you don’t want to see it.

Jesse Reasoner and Sean Needham are amateur super heavyweight fighters who took part in KOP 57. The official result on the event’s page is something else.

The fighters were both clearly tired and possibly dehydrated, judging from the video, and it’s tough to know how you can continue a fight when one guy is covering the mat in puke — so the ref called the fight. Smart move.

Unfortunately it was the first fight of the evening. Hopefully there was a good cleanup crew.
