Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Muslim fighter from Iran, Ali Heibati, gets life ban for kicking Russian ring girl, Maria, on her butt over indecent dressing in the octagon viral video.
MMA fighter Ali Heibati has been handed a lifetime ban after attacking a ring girl ahead of a fight.
The Iranian was competing in the Hard Fighting Championship promotion when the incident unfolded, The Sun reports.
Further footage emerged of Heibati then getting attacked by members of the crowd after he left the cage.
Following the commotion, Heibati took to social media to apologise to the ring girl.
“Hello everyone. This is for Maria. I didn’t act right with her,” he wrote.
“I was tense and, as most understand, emotions flourish in the fight, so before the fight I acted badly towards MarÃa. I want to publicly apologise to her. I am a married man, so I respect the female gender. She was doing her job and I, after the fight, didn’t admit my guilt either, because they also hit me on the head. Tell MarÃa that I am sorry.”
Just moments before the bout was about to begin, a ring girl named Maria entered the cage to signal that the first round was commencing.
As she turned her back on him to leave the cage, Heibati bafflingly kicked out at her.
She then turned to confront Heibati, who was then reprimanded by the referee.
When the fight eventually got underway, Osipyan made light work of his clearly agitated opponent.
