An Iranian MMA fighter who decided to kick a ring girl in the bum before his fight ended up getting TKO’d by his opponent, beaten up by the crowd, and on top of that has received a lifetime ban from Russia’s Hard Fighting Championship.
Ali Heibati was taking on Arkady Osipyan at the HFC event in Moscow at the weekend, when things went from bad to worse for him.

Since Heibati insisted on acting like a total prat all night, a bunch of people then rushed him outside the cage, including members of the crowd:
They gave him a righteous lesson in manners. Bravo! pic.twitter.com/go08GRe7ag

Jesus, talk about a bad day at the office. First you brainlessly kick a female in the bum for no reason whatsoever (some people are saying he was “dissatisfied with her outfit”, but who knows), then you get TKO’d in the first round, and beaten up again by the audience for being such a psychotic, sore loser.
As well as being banned from the promotion, apparently Heibati’s pay cheque was given to the ring girl he assaulted. How much worse can this guy’s day get?!
Yeah, OK, it was a soft little “boop” he gave her. But it was still completely out of order and good indicator of what kind of character we’re dealing with here. It’s just so great that they let him fight and get KO’d instead of disqualifying him there and then. Well played, HFC.
For the MMA fighter who attempted a novel ‘zero defence’ approach and ended up getting KO’d in 10 seconds, click HERE. Probably should’ve seen that coming.
