Iranian MMA Fighter Kicks The Ring Girl For What She's Wearing, Gets Knocked Out The First Round, Then Gets Beaten Outside The Ring

An MMA star has been handed a lifetime ban from the Hard Fighting Championship (HFC) after kicking a ring girl before his bout over the weekend.

Iranian fighter Ali Heibati faced Arkady Osipyan at the Hardcore MMA tournament in Moscow on Friday night.

Before the fight had even got underway, Heibati bizarrely stepped forward and kicked a ring girl in the derriere as she walked past holding up a card signaling that the opening round was about to start.

The woman turned around and was clearly taken aback by Heibati's behavior, approaching him to voice her disapproval before the referee stepped in to keep them apart and appeared to warn Heibati about his conduct.

The fight was allowed to start moments later, but it proved to be a short contest as Osipyan secured victory by technical knockout in the first round.

His win was confirmed by the referee waving off the fight with just over 30 seconds left in the round as he determined Heibati was in no position to defend himself.

As the referee walked Osipyan back to his corner, Heibati rose to his feet and started attacking his opponent, landing multiple cheap shots while his back was turned.

He was quickly pulled away and several people got into the cage to separate the two men while they awaited the official verdict.

The drama wasn't over there, as the two fighters took the microphone inside the cage afterwards.

Heibati seemed annoyed by something that was said to him and aimed another kick, this time at head height towards a commentator, before exchanging angry words with the man.

Further footage has emerged of Heibati then getting attacked by members of the crowd following his bout as he was pushed over some chairs and took several blows to the head.

Following his shameful actions, Heibati took to social media to apologise to the ring girl named Maria.
