Fight fans got closer to the action than they expected when two brawling MMA fighters spilled into the crowd after breaking through the cage door of the octagon.
Amateur fighters Marty Navis and James Collins were making their debuts in Cage Titans 27 when they literally broke free of their shackles.
In footage filmed by UFC veteran Joe Lauzon, one of the fighters attempts a driving double-leg takedown, hoping to pin his rival against the side of the cage.

However, the move was perfectly lined up with the unsecured door and the duo crashed out into the arena. The fight was immediately ruled a no-contest.
According to MMA Fighting, Collins walked away from fall unscathed but Navis was taken to hospital with a rib injury.
