There was a lot of animosity going into the Brave CF 57 co-main event rematch between Mohammad Fakhreddine and Mohamed Said Maalem, and a definitive end to the bout didn’t prevent the bad blood from spilling over.
After Fakhreddine (15-4) picked up a knockout win over Maalem (11-4) on Friday’s card in Bahrain, he went over the corner of his opponent and flipped the middle finger amid his celebration. That prompted one of the cornermen to scale and jump over the cage, causing all hell to break loose.
To his credit, however, referee Aaron Wallace stepped up and prevented the chaotic situation from escalating.
