An MMA bout in Michigan ended in bizarre fashion when an exciting knockout finish almost turned scary for the in-cage official.

Lightweight Ryse Brink blistered Joe Nehm with a lightning-fast opening flurry that caused a stoppage 10 seconds into Round 1, but it turned out that Nehm wasn't done fighting. Clearly confused, Nehm latched on to the referee and looked to apply a rear-naked choke before several people jumped in to pull him off.
