Footage has emerged of two bare-knuckle boxers - including a UFC veteran - involved in two intense altercations following a sell-out show in Coventry.

American Melvin Guillard is seen holding a knife during one of the rows which happened at a restaurant in the city centre, believed to be Harvester.

The second video was caught on camera next to the Coventry Skydome where the bare-knuckle show took place on Saturday night in front of more than 3,000 people.

BJPenn.com reports that Guillard, a mixed martial arts fighter, got involved in an argument with another bare-knuckle boxer, Jimmy Sweeney, the following morning.

The footage from inside the restaurant shows Guillard holding a table knife while he argues with Sweeney and the rest of his camp.

The video was shot by fellow UFC veteran Shonie Carter and then posted on his Facebook page.

Another name from the UFC who was present at the time was Wes Sims, who told BJPenn.com: “I was there - that is Melvin. Yes he has a butter knife in his hand, yes Shonie Carter filmed, and yes we would have stomped the s*** out of those Irish! Good times in the UK.

“[It] is quite difficult finding a good meal though, as you see.”

This incident followed another heated, public encounter between Guillard and Sweeney, which was captured by Sims.

In this row outside the Skydome, Guillard can be seen threatening Sweeney’s group from across the street.

“I’ll dump your f****** skull in the street right here,” he says in the video. “You a p****, boy, I’m gonna show you what America is.”

The footage was shared on Sims’ Facebook page.
