Three-foot-tall Likkleman attacked his rival Choon Tan in a nightclub ahead of their upcoming Celebrity MMA fight.
The 27-year-old - real name Aiden Henry - was born with dwarfism but has twice fought in the boxing ring, defeating Salim Chiboub before defending his 'Wicked N' Bad' title against Wopke Booijen. Henry will make an appearance in the cage on a Celebrity MMA card at the OVO Wembley Arena later this month.
And Henry has already been involved in a heated altercation with his upcoming rival Choon Tan, where the pair were spotted fighting in a nightclub. All of the fighters from the card were present during a nightclub appearance including former Love Islanders AJ Bunker and Theo Campbell.
Henry is seen walking into the club before seeing his rival sat in a booth just metres from him. Tan rises to his feet upon spotting his rival before Henry flies towards him and pushes him back into the seat. He then jumps on to his rival landing several punches on him, before several attendees of the event and security are forced to jump in and split up the pair.
Tan is dragged from the pile after Henry is removed from the brawl and is seen standing bemused away from his rival. The pair have already clashed once during a press conference ahead of the event, and have a clear dislike for one-another ahead of their duel.
A representative from promoter Celeb MMA commented on the incident: "During our Celeb MMA bootcamp in Portugal, the contestants had some down time where we were filming in a nightclub for the purpose of the upcoming TV show. The incident occurred when Likkleman decided to make his dislike for his opponent known."
Henry served a prison sentence after being charged with burglary, but was subsequently released from jail in March 2019 before he turned his life around. He has since earned the support of several professional fighters and has even trained with British pair Conor Benn and Anthony Yarde.

When making his MMA debut this weekend, Henry hopes he can continue to raise his profile and eventually sell out Coventry's Ricoh Arena for a future fighting exploit. “I could sell out the Ricoh Arena, definitely," Henry previously told The Sun. "Because I am small but confident with it, people have never seen that combination and are intrigued.
"Girls are fascinated about whether things are in proportion, it’s just my everyday life. From a very young age I have been aggressive because of how I have been treated. Now I can hopefully make that work for me and better my life, because that is all I have wanted the chance to do. I’ve had 25 bad years behind me, I have had to apologise for a lot of things I am sorry for, but now I have this chance to turn my life around and I am going to take it.”
A whole host of names from the celebrity world will feature at the event, including Geordie Shore's James Tindale who will headline the show against The Only Way Is Essex's James Lock.
