Mixed martial arts is an emotional sport. I can't even begin to think about what would be going through my mind after I got beaten up like that.
Andrew Whitney, who is known as "The Beast," lost a fight against Farkhad Sharipov at Titan Fight Championship 42. What happened afterward will leave you saying "ouch."
Disappointed in his loss, Whitney quickly turned around, swinging his fist in frustration and wound up slugging the ring girl who was standing behind him.
According to The Daily Mail:
Jeff Aronson, CEO of Titan FC, told Daily Mail Australia: 'In the immediate aftermath of loosing a very close title fight at Titan FC 42 Andrew Whitney threw a punch out of frustration which unintentionally hit one of our ring card girls.
'Our ring card girl was attended to by the ringside doctor and officials. She indicated she was fine and was more surprised by the punch than injured.
'Titan FC is broadcast around the world and we expect our athletes to conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.
Even though the punch was unintentional, I think I would have been knocked out cold if that punch connected with my glass jaw. The ring girl was reportedly all right after the punch.
