Danis responded to being outperformed and outlanded by Paul with attempts at MMA moves, including an instinctive guilltotine that slightly resembled a Jake 'The Snake' Roberts trademark DDT, leading to a dishonourable defeat.

But Paul, who now competes as a WWE star himself, snapped straight back into wrestling mode while discussing his victory in-ring with Ariel Helwani.

He started with: “I won something! Let’s go!"

Paul later said: “I’m moving back into WWE, there are some championships I want to get. I want that US title. Rey Mysterio, I’ve already beat you once."

On the disqualification, Paul added: “He’s supposed to be good at jiu-jitsu, what happened? He tried to do a takedown, he tried to do a guillotine. I’m sorry I missed that hammer fist. I’m sorry it ended that way.

"Dillon Danis truly is a coward, just a dirty, dirty human being, but regardless, thank you for coming out tonight."
