Video: Fight Circus CEO Jon Nutt competes in bizarre 1 vs. 2 MMA fight

Fight Circus CEO Jon Nutt competed in a bizarre 1 vs. 2 MMA fight at Fight Circus 4 in Phuket, Thailand, on Sunday. Nutt faced MMA Symmetrical champions Bank and No Money in a pro-wrestling fashioned handicap match setting.

After losing to former UFC featherweight contender Will Chope in November 2021, the pair made a convincing comeback to the winning column by defeating Nutt in the main event.

The combatants engaged in wild exchanges right from the get-go, with the MMA Symmetrical champions teaming up to take Nutt down. Nutt, who also hosted the show this past weekend, tried his best to inflict damage on his opponents. However, the CEO of the promotion was caught with a left hook, and the pair flurried with a barrage of punches, forcing the fight to be stopped.

The event also featured other outlandish events like Indian leg wrestling, upstairs-downstairs, and board-room brawls. In another event called Siamese Kickboxing, two kickboxers paired up to take on another tag team while being joined together by an oversized t-shirt.

Heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and two-time light heavyweight champion Jon Jones are embroiled in a contract dispute with the UFC. One fan put forward the idea of them fighting each other:
