A robot was decapitated but kept on fighting like a champ in a bizarre humanoid cage fight.
Footage shows the two androids trading punches and spinning kicks as they battled inside the octagon.
The head of one of the robots could be seen wobbling before becoming even looser after it took a right hook.

It then hung down at chest height as the robot continued battling like a champ.
After getting back to its feet following a series of falls, it eventually started thrashing around on the floor.
When its head finally came completely loose, the victorious robot performed a celebratory dance.
The bizarre scenes took place during a URKL humanoid robot combat league bout in Shenzhen, China, on Thursday (16 July).
Both the winning robot, White Eagle, and the losing machine, Matador, are EngineAI T800 humanoid robots, as reported by Need To Know.
The first stage of the tournament – the world’s first industrial-grade humanoid robot free-combat league, launched by EngineAI – began this month and will run until August, with the finals scheduled for November and December.
The winning team will reportedly receive a gold championship belt worth CNY 10m (£1.1m).
One viewer commented: “Just a few more years – they’ll be replacing us and policing us.”
Another added: “Points for the fighting spirit of the headless robot.”
