However, on Sunday he swapped the squared-circle for the boxing ring.
Fish, 46, faced Ghanaian Boateng Prempeh, who went into the clash with a record of two wins and three losses.
The bout was part of the Global Titans Fight series in Dubai.
And it was on the undercard for Floyd Mayweather’s victory over Deji.

With a career that has spanned over 20 years, Fish already had experience in kickboxing.
But midway through the first round it was his wrestling skills that he turned to as he picked up his opponent as if he was going to bodyslam him.
He would go on to beat his rival in the second round via TKO to seal a successful start to his boxing career.
Fish had previously revealed that he has a two-fight contract and he wants his next outing to be either kickboxing or making his MMA debut.
