Iranian MMA fighter Amir Aliakbari enjoyed a big win over Dustin Joynson at One Fight Night 12 and looks set for a future heavyweight title fight with well-known Russian fighter Anatoly Malykhin. He appeared after the battle in the ring and it was a scandal. The Russian came between the ropes to laugh at his future possible opponent and a clash ensued. The server asianmma.com informs about it.
Malychin was invited to the ring and immediately began taunting Aliakbari. The footage of the mentioned situation does not reveal exactly what was said and what the provocation was, however, the verbal exchange ended in a scuffle, when both fighters were damn close to each other and there was even a short fight. Both fighters tried to hug and hold their opponents tightly. The presenter in the ring was partially between the two fighters and felt the hardness of the elbow in the neck area.
They managed to tear the two men apart very quickly, and the speaker was obviously relieved. The fighters continued to throw sharp words at each other, but there was no more contact, so the moderator of the evening was able to handle everything unscathed. The Russian subsequently had to pack up with the assistance of security outside the ring.
Iran’s Aliakbari has lost his first two bouts in ONE Championship, but is now celebrating his third win and is expected to be the clear No. 1 contender to challenge Malychin in his next fight later this year.
In the fight with Joynson, he looked very sharp right from the start, hitting his opponent’s head hard and having the upper hand, which he carried to victory over the Canadian. He got Joynson to the ground, where he again dealt several blows to his rival. The Canadian soon had enough and the match was over. And that in 108 seconds.
Aliakbari improved his match record to 13-3.
