Episode 7 of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test aired on Fox this Wednesday, February 8 at 9 pm ET.

In the latest episode, the six last standing competitors of the series were asked to fist fight each other. There were no official rules for the match, and the players had to keep punching each other relentlessly. In fact, contestants were asked to use their "violence and aggression" in the game without caring about who got rolled over or injured.

In the first battle, Danny Amendola and Dwight Howard fought each other, and Danny lost his head gear during the face-off. Surprisingly, they did not stop the fight at that moment and instead kept going for multiple rounds. It was later announced that no competitor would kick their opponent, and Danny ultimately won the challenge, while Dwight called the fight "stupid."

Hannah Brown and Carli Lloyd fought against each other in the second battle. Hannah won the round, and the girls immediately hugged after the fight to make-up.

Meanwhile, Mike Piazza and Gus Kenworthy fought in the third battle, despite Mike being 23 years older than Gus. Kenworthy used it to his advantage and hit Mike just near the ribs, a move that the latter described as getting hit by a truck. Ultimately, Gus won the round, but no one quit the show in the challenge.

The SEALs said that this round helped the contestants get into the warrior zone, but Special Forces: World's Toughest Test fans called it "barbaric." Fans felt that it was wrong of them to make team players fight against each other with no rules and multiple rounds.

The hosts of the show explained that on the battlefield, players cannot choose their enemies, hence have to get into the ultimate "fight till death" challenge.

However, Special Forces: World's Toughest Test fans did not agree with the same and said that many things were wrong with the way the task was conducted.

In the episode, the remaining six contestants of the show were challenged to go through a mission similar to that resembling a chemical warfare. The recruits had to go inside a tank, which was filled with tear gas, answer some questions while trying not to cough, find a medical bag, and escape through an alternative exit.

Former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, who has asthma, was forbidden by the seals to perform the task. She was made to stand in a corner during the challenge and was later asked to "suffer" just like her fellow cast mates. She was ordered to get wet, roll into the sand, and then do manual labor for two hours at 105 degrees of heat. Hannah was asked to carry heavy bags, but she was able to finish her task.

Meanwhile, Carli Lloyd and Mike Piazza failed to get the emergency bag out of the tank.
