MMA fans and netizens online were subject to a rather disturbing clip of a former MMA fighter by the name of Dylan Kammeraad. The footage, which was released very recently, came as a shock after it exposed how Kammeraad got treated at the time of his arrest back in 2012.
Along with the shocking nature of it, what surprised fans was before his arrest, Kammeraad, now 33, had previously fought and beat the current UFC light heavyweight champ Jamahal Hill. In a tweet, expressing his shock and disappointment at the news, Hill claimed Kammeraad was one of the toughest men he had the opportunity to face in his career.
