Tai Emery generated numerous headlines Saturday as she flashed an unsuspecting crowd after her Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship win.

"Interesting celebration there," one BKFC commentator can be heard saying, when Emery lifted her top. "Hadn't seen that one before."

Emery, who had never competed in the sport of bare knuckle before, won a first-round knockout over Rung-Arun Khunchai at the BKFC event in Bangkok.

Emery overcame Khunchai early thanks to her obvious power advantage. She uncorked a two-punch combination — a right uppercut-left hook — that dropped and stopped Khunchai.

Though Emery had no experience in bare knuckle she had previously competed in an amateur MMA match.

'If you don't know, now you know'

Announcing her victory on Instagram, Emery said: "If you don't know, now you know."

She added: "Cheers heaps to everyone that has ever given me a meal, place to sleep, place to train, coached me, or had belief in me.

"It never went to waste and I always could make the energy tenfold. I'm so proud of this goal!"

For Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, flashing … is relatively normal

If it wasn't clear already, Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship seems to thrive on controversy, mayhem, and generally feral behavior.

Insider has reported on the company's 3-second knockout record, a nightmarish bloodbath in the ring, and when one female star trash-talked another regarding her boobs.

Earlier this year, former UFC athlete Mike Perry threatened his bare-knuckle fighting opponent with a bat in his hand.

In this context, flashing the crowd is relatively normal.

It is unclear if, or when, Emery will return to BKFC

What's unclear, though, is if or when Emery will return to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

The company's next event is on September 10.

Elsewhere at the BKFC Thailand 3 event, Buakaw Banchamek scored a thumping first-round knockout win over Erkan Varol, Surasek Sukkhamcha beat Pongpisan Chunyong by decision, and Chaloemporn Sawatsuk stopped Dominic Ahnee in the third round.
