After weeks of tension brewing, it was inevitable that Logan Paul and Dillon Danis' fight was going to descend into chaos.
The pair took to the ring last night (October 14) in Manchester, UK, as the undercard to KSI and Tommy Fury's highly anticipated boxing match.
Paul had the upper hand for the majority of his six-round match against Danis, but it wasn't until the final round where things turned really ugly.

Danis, 30, who has a history as an MMA fighting, attempted a jujitsu take down on Paul after the YouTuber, WWE star and entrepreneur knocked him down.
The bell then rang but Danis was having none of it and continued to square up to Logan, 28, sparking a security guard to jump into the ring.
Danis them attempted to roundhouse the man before the whole thing erupted into a mass brawl between bother corners - with Paul's younger brother Jake Paul also being involved.

Danis went on to be ushered out of the ring by security.
Commentators labelled the ending an 'embarrassment' for Danis and an 'easy win' for Paul, who ultimately won the fight after his opponent was disqualified.
It was noted, however, that prior to the disqualification Paul would have won on points anyway.
As per CBS News, the unofficial scorecard read 60-44 to Paul.
Speaking after the chaotic events, Paul labelled Danis as a 'dirty human being'.
Paul went on: "He's supposed to be good at jiu-jitsu. What happened? I stuffed his takedown.
"He tried to do a guillotine. I'm sorry I missed the hammer fists. That would have been good. I'm sorry it ended that way."
Their eventful fight comes after Danis' constant harassment of Paul's fiancée, Victoria's Secret model Nina Agdal.
Agdal went on to file a restraining order and a lawsuit against Danis as a result.
The model wants at least $150,000 for every violation of federal law that prohibits the sharing of intimate images.
The suit alleged that his 'relentless' attacks on her have caused Agdal humiliation, emotional distress, and reputational harm.
"Danis posted the photograph -- entirely uncensored -- from his X (Twitter) account, without Plaintiff's consent," she said in the lawsuit.
"Later that day, Danis reposted the explicit photograph in order to maximize the number of views it would receive."
She's also accused him of illegally digging into her archives to post other compromising material.
It's said that Danis has denied any wrongdoing.
