An Iranian MMA fighter Ali Heibati has been given lifetime ban by the hard fighting championship. After he kicked a ring girl before his fight at the weekend.
Before the fight even began, Ali heibati came forward, and kicked the ring girl on the derriere. When she was walking past him holding a card, announcing the start of the opening round.

Later the fight was allowed to start but it proved to be a short contest as the opponent Arkady Osipyan won.
But however, there was a catch. The referee declared Ospiyan’s win when only 30 second were left for the round to get over. Declared Osipyan the winner when he judged heibati isn’t getting up.
As Osipyan walked back, the heibati got up and started attacking him with Arkady showing his back.
To stop the fight, several people came inside the ring to separate the two men.
As per the new footages, Ali heibati was later attacked by the crowd pushed over some chairs and took a blow to his head.
Later Ali heibati apologized to the ring girl through social media. Saying ‘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 María that I am sorry.”
But despite issuing the apology, Ali heibeti was given a lifelong ban by HFC.
