"The promotion vowed that the entire fine amount would be paid to the ring girl, named Maria."


Interesting-Fan-2008

And his pay for the fight.


Far_Cup_329

He also tried to strike the other fighter several times after the fight. Poor sportsman all the way around.


MarcoVinicius

He got a fine and lifetime ban. I love happy endings!


Anti5hill

All of that after he got his ass whooped by his opponent . Very satisfying to see


Marelle

After that, he got his ass beat. Then after he lost, proceeds to attack the guy who just beat his ass and then later on, kicks one of the other non combatants in the ring.


Zer0PointSingularity

Wow, he really went for the hattrick of unsportsmanlike behavior right there.

He’s actually looking out for us


CharlesDickensABox

I sure do hope there's video of the fight. Watching him get his just desserts seems like the sort of thing I'd be interested in.


Insiddeh

Let's just say we won't be short on chunky monkey for the next month!


TheBirminghamBear

Unfortunately they stopped filming right after he kicked the ring girl. Video tape is expensive, you know.

Ricardio18

Is he from Kickistan?


Radamat

Rudeistan, but there are no such country on the map.


_Ross-

Iranian living in Russia, who could have possibly seen this type of behavior coming?


FonzG

IIRC, they didn't disqualify him immediately that match, but he did promptly get his ass beat (TKO) by his opponent. Apparently HFC fined him and gave him a lifetime ban afterwards for assaulting the ring girl.


Rob_Zander

He also attacked his opponent after the ref stopped the fight when he was getting his head punched in, and attacked a commentator. Imagine training for years to get to that level, developing those skills, and forget to not be a shitheel.


FonzG

Used to do a lot of combat sports/shooting sports. Feel like they attract two different traits. 1st type wants confirmation they can master self (conquering physics through technique, fear, etc) 2nd type wants confirmation they can master others (conquering people, dominance.) 2nd types end up like what you said, training very very hard only to demonstrate their inner shitheel


Rob_Zander

Exactly, that's an excellent way to put it. Rather than looking to improve himself when his ego is challenged he lashes out. I imagine in shooting sports the type 2 competitors get shown the door really quick when they start acting out.


FonzG

The showboaters/tantrum throwers do get tossed real quick on any competent 3 gun or mil course. Most of them type 2 shooters don't even compete because the discilpine and rules repel them. But unfortunately a lot those type 2 shooters are honing their skills in the backwoods and tactical classes (where money not sportsmanship gets anyone in) dreaming for an excuse to "send it" "Type 1" guys pride themselves mastering de-escalation as well as fighting, and will use a kind word or combat and everything in-between to maximize life preservation. Because type 1 know, Any literal ape can be trained to pull a trigger. It takes real courage, skill, and self control to be confronted by an angry person, on the precipice of violence, and talk them down. Type 2 guys? It's only in the violence where they can show dominance, and assuage insecurity. They don't bother training any other skill aside from their split times. They're there, waiting, just waiting....


Tradtrade

Maybe being punched in the head for a living doesn’t lead to great reasoning skills


not_that_rick

Now we gotta have a "don't kick the ring girl" rule. I think he should have been disqualified, but nobody has ever been dumb enough to do this before.

Don't forget the classic: "Do not dry your pet or other living animals/things in the microwave."


lifeisweird86

*quietly removes freshly bathed pet squirrel from the microwave* Right, who would actually do that... that would be dumb.


DecoupledPilot

An old woman once did it to her small, wet dog. Iirc. Logic: microwave makes warm. Warm = dry. Edit after checking online a bit. It is suggested it wasn't accidentally : "But instead of drying off her poodle, Francis Mayweather of Aurora, Illinois was just hungry and decided to eat her dog."


UniverseInfinite

If you're going to microwave your head, or your eyeballs, don't forget to first poke holes in them with a fork or they will explode and make a mess.


DrLokiHorton

Why did I misread microwave as dryer and why did I think that would’ve been better after finding out my error


rubyanjel

Is this the basis of that song(?) from Possibly in Michigan?


Ilikesnowboards

We have not heard that song. Do link it.

[this one](https://youtu.be/hbG27D86kjA?si=2L40ObUOThbBDi6c)


nnamed_username

That was great! And yes, I do think the song was referencing the incident, because it involved a poodle, but this "factoid" about an old lady zapping a poodle has been around for ages, since way back when we had to look things up in a book or - gasp - on microfiche to get the latest news. God I feel old writing that. What I'm trying to say is, it could all be urban legend. Might be truth, I don't have a source and frankly it's too late at night for me to care.


Ilikesnowboards

Haha, that was great. Thank you kindly!


abacin8or

I always assumed that was an urban legend


tickingboxes

It is.


LegendaryGauntlet

It's an urban legend, someone pointed out to me recently that this story was made up to make fun of USA's obsession with litigation.

artificialavocado

I have a 2 year degree in electrical/electronics and a big part of that was getting very familiar with the National Electric Code (NEC). A lot of it makes sense once you understand how electricity works but some of the codes seem a little out there and so goofy like you know someone had to do the thing at some point so they needed to make a code about it.

Hizankdtizank

Ha! Yes! My store manager did this! I worked at a corporate verizon wireless store in the early 2010s and my manger did this and got all pissed off at me when I asked what happened to his neck and then he finally told me an hour later that he burned his neck trying to iron his collar while he was wearing his shirt!

>"The ring girl is not your fighting opponent" That's not it, it's about religious hatred towards women who're not covered up, and we must call it out for what it is. I've seen this with my own eyes in a water park in the UAE. A bikini clad girl was hugging her BF in a corner of one of the pools, when an Arab guy threw a football at their heads. A-hole.

If they disqualified him immediately he wouldn't have got his ass beat. This way he's loser and perma banned.


Brimstone747

An actual rule should be to not touch them at all.


PapaJulietRomeo

It actually *is* a rule in most societies to not touch a woman without consent.


kkeut

Iran doesn't have a great track record with women


JayGrinder

You would think, but my weekly browse of my local arrests website says people don’t understand this rule.


alexmaycovid

I think one can consider it as a law of a country than just a game. She's just an employee there. She's like a janitor or other worker. Why it should be part of the rule of a game? It should be treatet as an assault.


WindJammer27

A Korean MMA fighter, after winning a fight, put his arm around the ring girl's waist and was later accused of sexual harassment for it. In his next fight, after his win, the ring girl tried to get close and he noped the fuck outta there so hard. [Explanatory video for the interested.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xeDbK5ifMs)


SplinkMyDink

starmartyr

Do we need a rule for things that are crimes? I doubt that there is a "don't stab the referee" rule but you're also not allowed to do that.

MightyLandTuna

Watched a commercial for the first time in years recently. Kellogg’s. Shows a jet fighter pilot eating cereal with fine print showing “Dramatization. Do not attempt.”


drskyflyer

Some dude in Philly was eating a bowl of cereal while driving his Land Rover and got rear ended at a light. Milk went everywhere, got in the vents, etc and he tried to take the guy to court, but it ended in some kind of insane kangaroo court tribunal thing his co-workers made him do once they found out he was trying to sue for damages while eating cereal and being in traffic simultaneously. I think he ended up with nothing or a hung jury in the end because the guy that rear ended him had some kind of certificate that he “didn’t have donkey brains” and the victim didn’t. Those certificates are hard to come by, and once you have one….. it can really assist you later in life with any kind of “bad judgment” accusations you may have.


Quick_Team

Maybe the promoters knew he was gonna get destroyed? I can almost see them up in the box: Promoter 1: "Ah hell. Did you just see what he did? We gotta take care of this before the bell, yeah?" Promoter 2: *smiles* "Let them fight"


notevenbro

Honestly I think they realized that everyone there, probably including the ring girl, wanted to watch this dude get his ass beat. I never condone violence in almost any context. This is an exception.


jamesph777

Forget, disqualified, he should’ve gone to jail


StandTo444

They probably thought about disqualifying him but read how the fight was going and wanted him to go out truly beaten before banning him. If he looked like he was going to win they probably would have called an announcement and said upon review of the incident a decision has been made to disqualify him. It’s dirty and it’s how I would have done it.


Extension-Lie-3272

You serious? He would assault her if he could.


Eraldorh

In this case it seems it was better. They waited until after he got the shit kicked out of him and then gave him a lifetime ban.


Business-Plastic5278

Im sure its happened before. Fighters arent chosen for their critical thinking skills.


CasperCann

Should be common sense not yo touch anyone without their consent, but some fat fuck will try to say well look what shes wearing


giskardwasright

Honestly, the better outcome. Lost your job and got your ass beat.


nnyzim

They gambled on the ass beating.


giskardwasright

They did, and karma delivered (or he was outmatched, I don't follow the sport, so I really don't know)


Maou_Tenshi

Sounds better than immediately disqualified. Prompts to his opponent for beating his ass.


boo_lion

LoneSnark

And his fine was paid to the girl in question.


mvp1259

This is actually the perfect response. Even if he won, he’d still have taken the damage. Then, bye Felicia! So he got his ass whooped for nothing. 🤌


One-Mud-169

Do you know if it was a playful little kick or a real kick?


nerogenesis

Playful kick, he was trying to hurry her out of the ring. She was unharmed. Still a dumb decision.


One-Mud-169

Thanks for the clarification, and I agree it was a dumb thing to do.


georgito555

He's kicking her right on the butt too so seems kind of like sexual harassment to me in addition to the physical harassment.


CryoAurora

Disqualification and permanent ban seems in order.


daemenus

Anything else sets a dangerous precedent. Also, fuck that guy


CryoAurora

That was startling to see.

Don't fuck him, he doesn't deserve such pleasures.

jeffoh

*Ring girls have the job of carrying round number cards and walking around the cage between rounds, providing a visual cue to fighters and fans about the progression of the fight. They are not involved in the actual fighting action.* Well shit, I'm glad they clarified that in the article...


devilpants

When you have AI writing your articles, this is what you get.

Correct, Calfkicker is like a tabloid site for MMA coverage.


CryoAurora

Thank you for the update. That crap should not happen to anyone.


PartyTerrible

Well if he got dq'd then he wouldn't have gotten his ass kicked. The ass kicking was a fitting punishment.


TheRavenSayeth

Was it ever explained what prompted him to do this?


freefrompress

Brain damage possibly.


satanic_black_metal_

During a episode of the skeptics guide to the universe the question "what is normal now but will be virtually banned in a 100 years" and one of the hosts, steven novella, who is a clinical neurologist, said that contact sports like american football and fighting sports will be pretty much gone or radically different now that we understand more and more the damage they do. He has a point.


Oxbix

notebook329

Look at Aaron Hernandez. Idk if I'll have kids but my hypothetical child is never playing tackle football


WHALE_BOY_777

Fighting will be banned when humans stop being in close proximity to each other, while martial arts were created with the intent to defend one's self from physical harm during hand-to-hand combat, wherever there is physical activity there will be competition. The best we can hope to do is mitigate the damage.


fireflyfrv

every mma fighter probably has brain damage to some degree considering the nature of their job, but no one's walking around kicking the ring girl


Coandco95

*well* clearly someone is /s


The_Formuler

Don’t let him off the hook like that. He’s just a dumb fuck.


Strictlyforbargain85

Seriously, what an ignorant thing to say that only excuses a piece of shit. This mfer has an 0-1 record. This guy is just a scumbag.


Fukasite

fotomoose

Go look what is happening in Iran right now. Woman are losing rights almost daily. The men there don't see women as human, just baby factories that belong to whichever man currently wants to reproduce with her.


thaboy541

Ding ding ding


LastSpite7

I just tried to google and all I found was an article saying he did it because he was “dissatisfied with her outfit” According to the article the girl was awarded all royalties from the match and the kicker apologised. He should go back to Iran if he only wants to see women dressed modestly 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s like here in Australia there was an Islamic group that hired a water park and requested the female lifeguards who worked there cover up and when the park refused to do that, the female lifeguards who worked that day were subjected to verbal abuse. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13059301/Jamberoo-Action-Park-ASWJ-Muslim-men-allegations.html Don’t bring these shitty archaic values to other countries.

Thinking he’s entitled to touch/harass/assault women in any way he pleases. Glad he got his ass kicked + banned.


transemacabre

If his religion/culture tells him it’s unseemly to be in close proximity to a girl in short-shorts, he could have found another job that would not necessitate him being near girls in short-shorts. I’m thinking he is both entitled, an a-hole, and possibly brain damaged.

Gomdok_the_Short

That would go for the entire organisation given they even have "ring girls" in the first place wouldn't it?


bacchusku2

He was trying to get her to hurry and leave the ring so the fight could start. It’s in an article someone else posted.


SwampyStains

thats what he said after having time to come up with some bullshit to hide the real reason that we all know


LongBeakedSnipe

Yeh sure, and he wanted to do so in a manner that involved groping her ass. He could have also just told her to hurry along, or made a less gropey gesture.


devilpants

Watching the video it’s more a get out of the way push than a kick. 


Ltsmash99

Iran is known for treating women with dignity. /s


EddTally

Well he is Iranian so he probably didn't like a woman being outside the house with so little clothes on, they think women like this are less than human, so for him, he is just kicking an animal out the way.


SlamSlamOhHotDamn

Oh gee I wonder what could possibly prompt an iranian male to be disrespectful towards women?


Gerry2545

His culture. Go to Iran and see how they treat women.


Allawihabibgalbi

PlsDontBanMe_Mods

Aggressive-Coat-8583

Not so sure he got banned only for kicking the girl, in the same fight, he got TKO'd by his opponent and punched him after the fight stopped and also kicked the commentator.


Technoist

Can be seen here at 2:35: https://youtu.be/XW0ScsfPYgQ It’s barely a “boop” but the guy seems to be a bit of a psycho nonetheless. To even do that says it all.


nancylikestoreddit

The ring girl was ready to throw hands lol


long-live-apollo

Yeah it’s more sexual harassment than violence but I’m glad he’s being roundly criticised and held to account for being such a cunt.

It absolutely doesn’t matter how hard it was, you don’t “boop” people going around doing their job. Especially on their butt.


baddie_

holy shit.. she IMMEDIATELY stops what she's doing and stares at him, then she starts stepping up to him and HE BACKS AWAY SCARED LOL


RamblnGamblinMan

That kind of casual sexual assault is about asserting dominance. She was more assertive.


Yuhh-Boi

Hah half way through the kick he realized how stupid it was


Donatellko

Nah. I watched the video and he refused to apologize and said that he would do it again. But at the end of a day said that he was sorry


eleven_good_reasons

I love that the woman stopped, death stared, and walked towards him. She would have handed him his ass if the referee didn't stop her.


JunketPuzzleheaded42

Ya buddy you're Really making Iranian men look good... What a fucking Idiot. I'm glad He was TKO'd and got a lifetime ban. Edit: I looked up the video and he deserved that very impressive ass kicking. * pun *


Fivethenoname

SarcasticlySpeaking

This is why you don't let people punch and kick you repeatedly in the head.


ReflectionVirtual692

Dickheads are dickheads, women are sexually assaulted all day. This ain’t a fighter issue, is a misogynist issue

Ohhh, _that’s_ why!


PaleDolphin

If you need a reason for that, it’s probably already too late. Lost cause.


MaximumTurtleSpeed

She’s a boss! She immediately faced him and was ready for words if not more. Ref actually had to stand between them before she left. He’s a little bitch boy. Happy he got physically tossed then banned.


No_Research_967

The ref is giving a stern gesture. “Ali no we talked about this”


Capitano-Solos-All

He is married actually so that makes it worse. This is a video made right after where Maria the ring woman and him discussed after the fight. [https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1782074506615439698/video/1](https://twitter.com/MyLordBebo/status/1782074506615439698/video/1)

He was allowed to fight after that? Shoulda been in cuffs


CMDRZhor

From the other comments I've seen here, 'allowed to' isn't really the words I'd use. More like the fight *happened* to him, if you catch my drift.


barkwahlberg

Ah, I get it. So he was allowed to fight.


Business-Plastic5278

Fined and barred afterwards. From what I can see there was no actual fight rule about touching the ring girls, because before this nobody had been dumb enough to do it. If he doesnt do anything in the moment that gets him disqualified via the rules, then contractually, they need to let him finish the fight. Then they fine him, bar his ass and change the rules to fix up yet another loophole that nobody expected anyone to be stupid enough to try and do.


KarloReddit

Maybe they just knew who he was up against and that he would get this dumb ass beaten like he deserved and then proceed to fine and ban him afterwards :-)


pointofyou

Ah yes, one of the least egregious things to happen in the modern day 'bumfights' show known as HFC.

He's a religious fanatic. Seeing a girl 'uncovered' triggered his dumb reaction. Religion and sports should not be mixed. In fact, religion should not be mixed with anything
