This is not the way to celebrate your first professional mixed martial arts victory. As it turned out, Drew Chatman's first win turned into a disqualification because of his celebration tactics, the New York Post reported.

During the LFA 36 card Friday night at the Morongo Casino Resort & Spa in Cabazon, California, Chatman was battling Irvins Ayala. Chatman was on his back when Ayala attempted to throw a hammerfist, but his chin hit Chatman’s knee and he knocked himself out.

The referee awarded the match to Chatman, who then stood on Ayala’s back and executed a front flip. That did not sit well with the referee, who disqualified Chatman, the Post reported.

The fight was a one of seven fights on the LFA 36 card.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
