An MMA fighter with the words 'Hood' and 'Rich' tattooed above his eyebrows kicked his former fiancee in the head before putting her in a chokehold when she brought home the wrong dinner for him.

Julian Brave Wallace, 28, then chased Jessy Jess around their apartment in Newtown in Sydney's inner-west as she frantically tried to pack her things, kneeing her in the ribs and pinning her down.

Last week the fighter pleaded guilty to one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of intentionally choking with recklessness over the April 28 attack.

Ms Jess told Daily Mail Australia on the night she had been running 15 minutes late on her way home from work after she stopped to pick up some noodles for Wallace.

However when she arrived at the apartment he flew into a rage at her having brought the wrong food, grabbing her and accusing her of being unfaithful.

'He started attacking me, it went on for about 20 minutes, he kicked me in the head with timberland boots on,' Ms Jess told Daily Mail Australia.

'He got me in a muay thai headlock in the kitchen and was elbowing me in the face.

'He was holding my head in one hand and hitting me with the other,' she added.

Wallace then kicked Ms Jess in the face, and tried to tear off her engagement ring while threatening to break her fingers.

As she was desperately trying to break free from her former fiance's grasp, Ms Jess said she could feel herself losing consciousness. 

'I was terrified, I really was, I've never been knocked out and I've never passed out before,' she told Daily Mail Australia. 

'I remember seeing stars and getting dropped onto the bed.

'When he was chocking me I could feel myself losing consciousness.'

Ms Jess said she felt fortunate that she was an MMA professional otherwise the attack could have had a much more devastating outcome.

She told the Daily Telegraph as she was desperately trying to break free from her former fiance's clutches, she thought it could be 'the end'.

'I kept tapping him on the arm because I could feel that I was going to lose consciousness; he pulled tighter and I thought that would be the end,' Ms Jess said.

However the woman got herself out of the choke hold and kicked Wallace, knocking him out before calling the police.

'If I wasn't in an industry where I do get hit every day and I can brace myself against impact I'd hate to think what would have happened,' Ms Jess told Daily Mail Australia.

'I was terrified for my own life and I do this for a living.'

The woman said this was not the first time Wallace had been violent with her.

'We had fought before, never to that level it was more just him threatening me but he'd hit me a couple of times.'

In a post to his Facebook page on Monday Wallace also admitted that he and Ms Jess had shared a volatile relationship.

'I was in a very violent relationship with Jessica,' he wrote online.

Last month Wallace made headlines over his controversial 'men only' barber shop Hawleywood's in Newtown.

He came under fire for the 'sexist' policy which bans females from his shop, however at the time he defended the rules claiming 'it's not about discrimination'.

'No women can come into the premises because we only cater to men,' Mr Wallace told Sunrise last month.

'It is not a discrimination thing, it is something that we provide a service for men, we protect their comfort, we protect their insecurities. We protect their privacy.'
