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.
So this happened after we went off air from #LFA36 last night. Thoughts? pic.twitter.com/WNlrNA9Za1

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.
