Iranian MMA star Ali Heibati has been banned from the Hard Fighting Championship (HFC) for life after kicking a ring girl during a recent tournament in Moscow. The incident occurred before Heibati’s fight against Arkady Osipyan, when he kicked a ring girl from behind as she walked past with a round-start sign. The woman expressed her anger, and the referee intervened to keep them apart. Despite an apology from Heibati, the HFC imposed a lifetime ban on the fighter.
