Life sentence for a «Russian pig». Azerbaijani fighter answered for the bazaar

A new scandal has broken out in the Russian mixed martial arts community. A fighter from the league of fist fights and pop MMA Hardcore, Javid Rzayev, after a won fight, insulted a Russian athlete from the audience. The daring Azerbaijani very quickly regretted his prank.
“

“You’ve been a sucker in life, and you’ll remain a sucker.” You are a Russian pig. You're a pig. You shit where you eat,” Rzaev shouted to the fighter Arthur Kulinsky who was among the spectators.

Kulinsky reasonably noted that Rzaev “went too far” and did not think about the consequences at all. The founder of Hardcore, Anatoly Sulyanov, intervened in the matter, calling on Rzaev to apologize right in the ring: “No one has the right to touch the mother, religion and nation here. I won’t allow anyone to touch the people. Neither my own nor someone else’s. We are about sports, here we are all united. Apologize before him for this.»

After this, Rzayev admitted that he was wrong. Kulinsky responded by saying that the opponent would answer for his words in the ring.

However, the fight is unlikely to happen, certainly not in Russia. The next day, the league issued a statement about the suspension of Rzaev, and the Russian Boxing Federation (FRB) banned him for life from participating in any competitions under its auspices.

The apologies he made on social networks did not help Rzaev either.< br>«

"Please forgive me. I have lived in Russia since early childhood, I love and respect the traditions of the Russian people, I am a citizen of the Russian Federation, I have many Russian friends. I regret that many perceived this as an insult to the Russian people, of which I am a part. “I sincerely ask you to understand and forgive me for the words I said,” said the fighter.

Enraged by Rzaev’s behavior, viewers in the comments under the video of the fight on YouTube demand not only that he be banned from fighting, but also that he be held accountable before the law. The Federal Reserve Bank has already written a statement to the Prosecutor General's Office due to offensive statements, and a source in law enforcement agencies said that an administrative protocol may be drawn up against Rzayev.

And these are not all the consequences that the language of the “trash talker of the year” led to. , as Rzayev calls himself on social networks. With this incident, he jeopardized the entire Hardcore League, which had already had its license suspended by the FBI. After the league admitted its responsibility and began to assist in establishing the circumstances of the incident, the license was restored.

Of course, in a fit of emotion, fighters are prone to provocative actions — even Khabib jumped out of the cage in the UFC to fight with the crowd . Especially in pop MMA, where elements of the show and the notorious trash talk drive millions of viewers to the channels. However, there is a limit to everything. Shouldn’t the fighters, who often resort to “boyish concepts,” know what it means to be “responsible for words”? It seems that the “trash talker of the year” will now have to answer for them to the fullest extent. And rightly so.
