This past weekend, ‘The Hangman’ hosted a single-elimination super heavyweight tournament in, of all places, his backyard. The event consisted of 32 fighters battling it out in 60-second boxing matches with MMA gloves, all of them competing to win a $50,000 grand prize.
As expected, the backyard brawls produced some pretty nasty knockouts, including an especially brutal face-plant KO that you can check out below:
