MMA fighter given mass beating, lifetime ban after kicking ring girl

An Iranian MMA fighter has been given a lifetime ban and a severe mass beating after kicking a ring girl. Ali Heibati was in Moscow for the Hardcore MMA 90 and just about to begin his fight against Russia’s Arkady Osipyan, when he bizarrely decided to start the fight not against his opponent, but Maria the ring girl. For no apparent reason Heibati kicked her square in the posterior as she was walking past with the round one sign. Rather confused, she looked back at him as the referee gave him a severe warning. The fight was allowed to continue, albeit briefly, until Osipyan, perhaps buoyed on by an incensed crowd, won by technical knockout in the first round. Heibati, however, wasn’t done. Neither was the crowd. As Osipyan strutted about in triumph, Heibati rose to his feet, raised his fist and punched Osipyan in the back of the head. An enraged crowd confronted Heibati after the match, the baying crowd and many of the MMA fighters waiting in the wings, eager to deliver their own unique brand of mixed martial arts to Heibati’s already battered body. HFC MMA announced that Heibati has received a lifetime ban over the incident, and that Maria will receive his entry fee as compensation. They are also looking to identify those fighters involved in the mass brawl, who will also receive bans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
