A massive brawl erupted at the Real American Freestyle 10 event in St. Louis on Saturday night.
The altercation came after Khamzat Chimaev defeated Dillon Danis by technical fall in just 50 seconds.

The post-match chaos quickly escalated, drawing members of both camps onto the mat.
According to reports from MMA Mania, the trouble started when Danis attempted an illegal choke after Chimaev pinned him.
Danis then kicked Chimaev after the former UFC middleweight contender stood up. Chimaev responded with a kick of his own before dozens of people rushed the stage.
The incident marked Chimaev's debut for the promotion. Danis dropped to a 0-2 record following a previous loss to Colby Covington in March.
Organizers Condemn Violence
Real American Freestyle co-founder Eric Bischoff condemned the actions during his post-event comments. Video of his remarks was captured by MMA Fighting.
"It was not a good situation at all," Bischoff said. He emphasized that the incident does not align with the professional image the organization aims to project.

"Listen, we're committed to being family-friendly combat sports," Bischoff stated.
"There's such good will in the sport of wrestling across the board so that's what we want to nurture and that's what we want to grow.
What we saw tonight was not what we want to grow, and it will be addressed going forward."
The organization is expected to implement stricter protocols for future volatile matchups.
This marks the second major brawl in the history of the ten-event promotion, following a previous altercation between Arman Tsarukyan and Georgio Poullas at RAF 6.
Real American Freestyle co-founder Chad Bronstein noted that both fighters had been explicitly warned beforehand.
