A mixed martial arts event in the Czech Republic descended into chaos after a fighter bit his opponent's ear, sparking a violent reaction from the crowd. The incident occurred during a bout between Vaclav Mikulasek, known as Baba Jaga, and Pavol Vasko, also known as Pali Hari.
Footage shared on social media shows Mikulasek clutching his ear and screaming in pain as he turns to the referee. The crowd then turned on Vasko, throwing drinks and chairs at him as he fended off audience members. Security escorted Vasko from the arena.
Mikulasek later revealed he required 28 stitches for the injury. He posted a video on Instagram showing his bandaged ear and a photo of the bloodied ear with the caption: 'I know I'm always here and nobody can do anything about it!!!!!'
Vasko appeared pleased with the attention, writing: 'They are already writing about us in the USA clash power forever.' The fight was promoted as 'No Rules' by Clash MMA.
The incident drew comparisons to the 1997 heavyweight boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield, where Tyson bit a piece of Holyfield's ear. Tyson later apologised and reconciled with Holyfield.
