MMA fans call for fighter to be banned for life for horrific act during official decision

MMA fans are outraged after a clip of a fighter behaving disgracefully after losing a fight has emerged online.

Outside of the UFC hundreds of mixed martial arts organisations put on shows every weekend across the world, showcasing both elite and amateur fights.

In Russia, one of these organisations is simply named MMA Series and it puts on dozens of shows every year.

And a clip from one show has gone viral, after MMA fans have called for one fighter to be banned due to his actions after losing a fight.

In the main event of the MMA Series 78 tournament on April 2, Sergey Bobryshev faced off against Zalimkhan Yusupov, winning the bout by knockout in the third round.

But, after the referee made the result official and Bobryshev had celebrated, Yusupov went to shake his opponent's hand and, while Bobryshev's guard was down, sucked punched him on the side of the head.

And fans reacting to the clip are not happy.

One fan wrote: "Should not be allowed to fight in any organisation ever again. this is the lowest of lows. y’all were just in a fight why not do that then?"

Another agreed: "I’m guessing he would be getting a ban ! 1 year at least"

While another joked: "Nahhh he deserves two losses on his record after that😭 how does a pro fighter fail to sleep an unsuspecting person."

Fans also pointed out that Yusuopov raised his own hand before the result was called out, acting like he had won despite the fact he had been knocked out minutes prior.

Although he holds a record of more wins (19) than losses (16), the result is the third loss in a row for Yusupov, who has now lost eight of his last ten fights.

Meanwhile his opponent Bobryshev has a much more impressive record of 19 wins and just three loses and is currently on a five fight win streak, with four of them coming by knockout or technical knockout.
