Coincidentally, it was Riggs, who just lost the battle, that pulled Lombard away to ensure the minute didnt intensify further.
After the scuffle, there would be no post-fight interview from Lombard, and the ring was ultimately cleared.

The co-main event of BKFC 18 saw two veterans of MMA blend it up in what proved to be a wild contest filled with controversy during and after the battle.
Previous Bellator champ and UFC rival Hector Lombard took on Joe Riggs in the 3rd of four title fights on Saturday night.
The battle itself ended in a questionable style as Lombard (3-0 BKFC) hung on to Riggs (2-1-1 BKFC) shorts while landing a clean punch to the eye. As a result, Riggs might not continue due to the fact that he said he could just see out of one eye, crowning Lombard the cruiserweight champ by physicians interruption.
After the battle, the drama continued.
Simply as Lombard was starting his post-fight interview, fellow BKFC competitor Lorenzo Hunt approached and went into the ring Lombard. The brand-new champion did not appreciate his space being invaded and threw 2 difficult punches at Hunt.
