MMA Fighter Punches Ring Girl After Loss

This is the horrifying moment an innocent ring girl is punched in the face by an MMA star known as ‘the Beast’.

 

The footage shows Andrew Whitney with arms raised seemingly ready to claim victory. But the result doesn’t go his way, and what happens next is truly shocking.

 

When the judges rule against Whitney, the fighter reacts by swinging what appears to be a completely random punch.

 

Unluckily, the ring girl stood behind him feels the full force of the punch which lands square on her jaw. There’s nothing to indicate that Whitney did it on purpose and can be seen trying to catch her after he realises what he’s done.

The most impressive thing in this whole situation is that despite the force of the punch, the ring girl manages to keep her balance and stay on her feet.

CEO of the Titan Fighting Championship, Jeff Aronson, said: “In the immediate aftermath of losing 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.”
