Martial arts meant for promotions are to be carried out in an organized and safe manner, which is optimal for the fighters and the organization. Fighter safety is prioritized in every promotion during face-offs and weigh-ins, but things got a tad wild in this HFC faceoff.

Another user, @fireballbead, commented: “Wants banning for life. People like this are why the average public see talented and hardworking boxers as thugs and not role models.”

Well, it is safe to say that the reactions from fans have not been subtle and are clear as day. Fighting outside the octagon can be harmful to the fighters and the organization and the thousands of fans that pay a lot of money to see them fight in an organized manner with skillful execution.
