VIDEO: MMA fighter kicks ring girl before getting jumped by angry mob

Iranian MMA fighter Ali Heibati got beaten up by an angry mob after kicking the ring girl and sucker-punching his opponent at last weekend’s Hardcore Fighting Championship in Moscow.

“What happened in today’s live broadcast is beyond all moral and ethical standards,” HFC wrote in a statement. “No one has any right to touch, let alone beat the staff, employees and partners of Hardcore Media. Moreover, such marginal behavior is absolutely unacceptable towards women. Loosening your hands towards ladies is the lowest a man can go to. The League decided that in the context of the current situation, the apologies already made by Ali Heibati are absolutely not enough. He will be fined for his fee, and the entire amount will be transferred to ring-girl Maria.”

“Also, all participants of mass backstage fights will be disqualified and removed from appearances in Hardcore Media promotions,” the statement continued.

Ali Heibati: ”I acted badly”

Ali Heibati got a lifetime ban by the promoters at HFC after his actions, and later apologized for his actions against the ring girl, Maria, on social media.

“Hello everyone, this is for Maria,” Heibati said. “I didn’t act right with her. The reason was that before the MMA fight there were a lot of fistfights. I stayed there in the cage and I just wanted to go out and fight. I was tense and, as most understand, emotions flourish in the fight, so before the fight I acted badly towards Maria.”
