The hilarious incident happened at Open Fighting Championships 36 in St Petersburg, Russia.
In the co-main event, the flyweight title was on the line between Gadzhimurad Gairbekov and Dilshot Norkuziev.
But as the fourth round got underway, the referee realised a fourth person was with them inside the cage.

He uncomfortably stood against the cage as the action resumed for ten seconds before the ref noticed.
