HAPPY Mondays star BEZ hits rock bottom as he is battered in a brutal bare-knuckle brawl.
The dancer - real name MARK BERRY - took part in the sickening underground scrap this week after a longrunning feud over his ex-fiancee Monica Ward.
He suffered angry-looking cuts and bruises in the organised bout - as did his furious love rival, SPACE MONKEYS bassist DOM MORRISON.
Fun-days ... dancer Bez on stage
The fight was only stopped when a paid referee stepped in after 15 punishing minutes.
The shocking snaps, taken in a scrapyard office in central Manchester, mark the latest grim development in a bleak year for potless ex-Celebrity Big Brother winner Bez, 46.
In August city magistrates issued a two-year restraining order preventing him from contacting ex Monica, 43.
He was then fined £140 for breaking the order by sending her text messages last month.
Morrison is now thought to be in a relationship with Monica - with whom Bez has a two-year-old son, Leo.
A source said: "The fight's been the talk of Manchester for weeks. Two local brothers Anthony and Christopher Donnelly were involved in putting Bez and Dom in the same room to sort out their problems.
"It was really bitter and they only wanted to sort it out one way - with an old-fashioned straightener.

"They went at it like animals with a lot of blood and sweat. Bez looked cut up but gave as good as he got. It was a draw in the end and they both managed to walk away."
The source added: "Bez is having a horrible time right now. He's struggling to keep on top of things." Bez made his name in the '80s and '90s with his manic dancing and maracas with The Happy Mondays.
