Iranian MMA Fighter Who Kicked A Ring Girl Got His Head Pounded In

An Iranian MMA fighter who kicked a ring girl before his fight over the weekend in Moscow says he's sorry and that he'd like to explain his ridiculous behavior.  

Ali Heibati, who has reportedly been banned for life from the Hard Fighting Championship league, got lit up in the octagon after a pre-fight incident where Heibati kicked a ring girl who was just doing her job. 

In a video circulating from the event, the ring girl, reportedly named Maria, can be seen taking exception to Heibati's kick before the referee steps between the two of them. 

From there, it's time for Heibati to fight a man, Arkady Osipyan, who just witnessed this disgusting behavior. 

Let's go to the tape and see how this turns out for the Iranian. 

That's a technical knockout with 30-seconds remaining in the first round, but that wasn't the end for Heibati, who decided to take a cheap shot at his opponent, who was walking back to his corner. Still not content with being a loser, the Iranian scumbag tried to kick an announcer. 

But wait, there's more! 

This guy just wouldn't go away. At some point, Maria was pulled into a room with the guy who kicked her looking like she was shooting a hostage video. Heibati apologizes for his behavior, but the damage was done. 

"Hello everyone. This is for Maria. I didn't act right with her," the newly-banned fighter said. "The reason was that before the MMA fight there were a lot of fistfights. I stayed there in the cage and I just wanted to go out and fight.

"I was tense and, as most understand, emotions flourish in the fight, so before the fight I acted badly towards Maria. I want to publicly apologize 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 Maria that I am sorry."

Tapology reports this was Heibati's first known MMA professional fight after a career as a kickboxer.
