A potentially disastrous incident was thankfully avoided at LFA 160 on Friday night during the main card face-off between Josiah Harrell and Mike Roberts.
The situation took a startling turn early in the third round when Harrell executed a powerful double-leg takedown on Roberts, thrusting him hard into the cage. The power of Harrell’s move was so immense that it flung the cage door open, causing the two fighters to spill out of the cage and tumble headfirst into a group of spectators nearby.
Fortunately, both Harrell and Roberts emerged unscathed from the incident and continued their match. Video footage of the incident can be viewed below, provided by UFC Fight Pass.
Harrell (7-0) emerged victorious, defeating Roberts by unanimous decision in his promotional debut and maintaining his undefeated streak.
Meanwhile, Roberts (9-9-1), despite his previous career-high of three consecutive wins on the regional circuit, has now suffered two consecutive losses.
