A condominium security guard in Malaysia, who was knocked out during an altercation, is now lamenting about the fight he instigated.<\/p>\n
The New Straits Times reported that Muhammad Alim Muhamad Adnizam, 24, ended up with stitches after picking up a fight with a resident, who turned out to be a mixed martial arts (MMA) coach.<\/p>\n
To add insult to injury, the video of his embarrassing knock-out went viral, and he was reassigned to another building. He said he was lucky that he was not fired.<\/p>\n
In the video of the brawl on July 10, Alim is seen taunting a smaller-built man in a pink singlet, who is later identified as 22-year-old MMA coach Tony Lim.<\/p>\n
\u201cPunch me. Are you a boy or a girl? Hit me if you\u2019re a man,\u201d said Alim, while striking his own head at one point of the four-minute clip and calling Lim a “transvestite”.<\/p>\n
Despite several passers-by and security personnel attempting to intervene, the pair traded punches.<\/p>\n
The fight came to an abrupt end when Lim punched Alim in the face, which sent the older man falling backwards while hitting a metal pole.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the New Straits Times, Alim, who was dubbed by netizens as the \u201cTouch me bro\u201d security guard, said that the dispute with Lim happened as he was ending his shift.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not a fighter. I don\u2019t even know silat,\u201d he said. \u201cIt happened suddenly and I just reacted.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Lim had a different story to tell, saying that the conflict was building up over a course of two weeks.<\/p>\n
The security guard had allegedly attacked an elderly resident, said Lim in an interview with the Rakyat Post, adding that he had filmed the aftermath of the incident.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe threatened me, wanting me to delete the video,\u201d Lim said, adding that Alim continued harassing him during multiple encounters, including on \u201clast Thursday night, when I went to the neighbouring mall to buy things\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen this conflict happened,\u201d he said, referring to the now-viral fight.<\/p>\n
Alim, who ended up with four stitches on his lip, said that he and Lim had agreed to a truce at a police station.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe shook hands, admitted fault and agreed not to share the video. I thought it was over,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut a few days later, I found out the video had gone viral. My relatives started calling, asking what happened. I was embarrassed, especially since I live with my family in a flat with many neighbours.”<\/p>\n
Alim said that he was later reassigned to another residential area in Selangor.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt first, I felt lost. But I’m thankful I wasn’t fired. I still need to work to support my family,” he said.<\/p>\n
He also apologised, reports said.<\/p>\n
According to the New Straits Times, the police confirmed on July 17 that the incident had been resolved.<\/p>\n
