After Nicolas Pablo Demario scored a knockdown this past weekend on Josue Vargas, he took a page out of Mike Tyson’s playbook and bit his opponent. It’s unclear what would possess any athlete to do such a thing when it’s largely understood we have cameras everywhere. And what’s even more bizarre is the fight wasn’t stopped, but would be judged a one-point deduction that irked the broadcasting crew. Josue Vargas, thankfully, would go on to use that deduction to his advantage winning the final three rounds and the fight unanimously. Watch:

As the great Rasheed Wallace once said: “Ball don’t lie.” Ironic enough that Vargas’ shorts read “taste of freedom.” What a wacky fight.
