Brenden Dillon was involved in one of the best NHL fights of all time, and following the game, he gave one of the funniest interviews of all time as well.

Hockey fans, get ready for the review of the most intense brawl of the season. In a hockey match between the New Jersey Devils and Florida Panthers, defenseman Brenden Dillon faced off against forward Jonah Gadjovich in a bout to remember.

The fight began with Dillon quickly knocking off Gadjovich's helmet, then somehow managing to pull Gadjovich's jersey over his head, the type of move one doesn't usually recover from.

But Gadjovich wasn't fazed. Tucking his chin and partially blinded, he kept on swinging, firing off right hooks and managing to slip in a few ferocious uppercuts.

The tenacity paid off, as during a dramatic ending, Gadjovich connected on a big haymaker that sent Dillon down to the ice. You can watch the intense fight below.

It was a scene out of classic hockey fights, reminiscent of days when fans loved old-school hockey game fights that bled into every game some grit and raw determination.

After the game, Dillon joined the ESPN panel for post-game discussions of the incident.

He smiled widely and nodded to the rough-and-tumble nature of hockey, describing succinctly the experience that will be replayed by fans. Boy do hockey fans sure love this type of old-school hockey.
