Early Version Of MMA?

From Walter Lantz Productions in 1936 (and released theatrically by Universal Pictures) here's Oswald Rabbit starring in "Battle Royal."  In this one, boxing champ Oswald goes toe-to-toe with wrestling champ Punchy Pig.  With story by Walter Lantz and Victor McLeod, music by James Dietrich, and animation by Ed Benedict and Fred Kopietz, this cartoon was produced by directed by Walter Lantz.
