Here’s the thing about MMA: It could be in the UFC, Bellator, PFL, some regional promotion’s event, somewhere overseas, wherever – you just never know when some nonsense could transpire.
It happened Saturday at UAE Warriors 30 in Abu Dhabi after Jesse Arnett became the promotion’s new featherweight champion with a win over former UFC fighter Ali Alqaisi. The result came under unfortunate circumstances after the cageside doctor stopped the fight because of a cut to Alqaisi.
Video shows that Alqaisi was visibly upset about the doctor’s decision and yelling at the referee for the stoppage. Arnett intervenes and seen says something to Alqaisi as he berates the referee. At that moment, Alqaisi turns his attention to Arnett, and then chaos ensues.
