The controversial first ever intergender Brazilian Jiu Jitsu bout ended in just two rounds.
The match between Craig Jones and Gabi Garcia had originally been ‘cancelled’ when chaos ensued in a face-off.
During the pre-fight meeting between the two ahead of the ‘Craig Jones invitational’ Jones grabbed Garcia’s face before kissing her on the lips.
Jones, 33, entered the fight boasting a record of 55 career wins but was viewed by some as an underdog against the Brazilian Garcia, who has a total of 71 career wins including five in MMA competition.
But that would play out very differently on the mat as the Australian fighter added another win to his resume, this time by rear naked choke.
It was a fight that almost never made it to fruition following Jones’ antics in the face-off.
In a video of the incident, shared on Jones’ Instagram account, Garcia could be seen once again towering over her shirtless opponent as they locked eyes.
Almost instantly, however, Jones appeared to grab Garcia’s head and lock lips.

Garcia, 38, let out a scream of sorts in response, and could be seen chasing Jones as he fled the scene.
Jones then took to social media proclaiming ‘Brazilians can’t take a joke’ and that the fight was cancelled, before declaring the fight back on.
