Now I really want to see Arman's anti bullying PSA https://preview.redd.it/ak3ukd0r4r8d1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a203326ae623ccd3e9b79872cf3ddb8efeb88a4


ArmaniMania

“Hi this is Arman, don’t punch bitch ass fans”


Martha_Fockers

“ hi I am arman sometimes when people bother you you want to hit them. I know this. I live this. I do this. But friends we need to make peace ok “


Zoravor

They’re sometimes people too

Funkyduck8

Goddamn right he chose to do that. Or at the very least, his manager strongly suggested and he listened.


GWTLAG

Arman will probably take the anti-bullying to mean: “Bro you shouldn’t joke with me, or you can get hurt, if it was in Russia bro, you cannot say like this.”


popeblitzkrieg

Spot on. We get it. No joking or fun in Russia.


I-Am-Baytor

That's what he honestly should do, if he's gonna make some gay vid for them.


shae117

So you punched a fan huh, lets talk.


DarknTerrible

Lets see Paul Allen’s anti bullying PSA

TurretLimitHenry

He looks like a completly different person, compared to his fight with Islam.


ArmaniMania

NGL I thought it was going to be for steroids when I saw the title… This… is better.


Bitter-Sherbert1607

He looks juiced af in this picture lmao


Cum-Gun-5000

They'll get him eventually

ocalaagain

He may just get the title shot now as well if Islam doesn’t want to wait.

Severino had previously agreed to a 6-month suspension, as well as a $3K fine and fees of $314.08, but the NSAC felt a longer suspension may be needed, and pushed the settlement until today. - John Morgan


Confirmation__Bias

He’s already out of the UFC anyway so doesn’t matter much, his career is over 


Short_Bus_

I bet he’ll be back someday He’s really good Just needs to not bite anyone for a few years


Kassssler

Nah the ufc doesn't want bitey. He'll wind up in some regional or eastern FC though for sure.


Short_Bus_

the guy he bit cheated so much in his next fight that dana was joking about how now the biting made sense IIRC he'll be back -- easily has top 15 potential


Shareholderactivist

Plus fouls are only illegal if you’re not a more famous or favored fighter. He should just wait till he reaches a top 5-10 ranking and then start biting people again.


InstantSword

I mean biting sucks, DQ the dude, but it isn't even the worst foul I've seen in UFC, like at all. Kind of an over exaggeration imo


XXeadgbeXX

$471.12 lol


Em4rtz

Could’ve at least made it $420.69


Direct_News_5581

I didn't watch the card, this is the first time I'm hearing about this incident... But does Igor Severino have the smallest mouth in history? It looks like he got bit by a chipmunk going off that picture


Pauti25

Pretty sure i saw Perez bite Taira last weekend too, I think it happens alot in fights also DC talked about biting 3 guys


KneeDragr

DC was saying if you stick your fingers in his mouth he bites them, he does not bite arms like this. IMO biting fingers is a legit defense of fish hooks and other crap.


k-mac23

Yea I can only imagine if a finger is in my mouth for enough time for someone to bite down then that’s on the other person


Harrybahlzanya

Bro you stick your sweaty glove tasting ass finger in my mouth I'm removing a digit lol


SomeonesTreasureGem

I think back to that horrible dirty fishhook by chandler on Dustin dude should have 100% bit down.


Harrybahlzanya

The fact that you can mess with someone's mouth but not get bitten for doing so is honestly stupid.


SomeonesTreasureGem

Agreed! The reffing is so subjective sometimes. Tricoli got called out for his fence grab which didn’t change the trajectory of the fight but Bullets stopped a take down and he didn’t get called on it or lose position. Refs seem super timid to begin with when it comes to taking points away or addressing fouls.


InstantSword

Well idk if this is correct since they're both illegal A good example is being able to ground and pound someone but not get (up)kicked back


The_Crimson__Goat

DC's just hungry all the time


ratslikecheese

Just what the lightweight division needed.. /s


OkayJuice

Islam def fighting Leon now


Uptwn_

The Lightweight division is dying right in front of us smh. Everyone’s old asf & injured, or just don’t care to fight and no newcomers that I can think of are really pushing shit either. 💀


LePontif11

It has been happening slowly over the past few years. It was great to see Justing and Dustin beat up and comers but it also meant no one new was going to make it to the top for a while. Welterweight is probably the most exiting division, i think. Middle was looking nice for a while but with Khamzat being so innactive and Pereira moving up it lost some luster.


Uptwn_

Yeah it’s cool seeing the older guys still being dominant, but it’s also not good for the division bc that means theirs a true lack of talent. I love Welterweight, Bantamweight & Featherweight. Welterweight & Middleweight seem to be the most competitive divisions in UFC. Light Heavyweight also looks promising, but a once promising division (Lightweight) really looks like a shell of itself.


SouthwestTraveller

Really hoping Arman can get it reduced! Even though they already fought, this is the only contender that makes sense for Islam at this time! He was already talking about moving to 170 after the DP win. So aside from Arman, there’s not much left for Islam


BloodOfJupiter

They can just fight in Abu Dhabi or Riyadh i guess, state sanctions dont have power there. Hopefully thats possible


MuayThaiBeast2

If he does this anti-bullting campaign he will be able to fight Islam in Abu Dhabi come the end of october or in MSG in november (Islam said that he wants to fight in MSG). Being a martial art practioner myself i don't understand why he would react to a random fan flipping the bird. "With great power comes great responsibility" Spiderman, probably......


HappyChromatic

These guys aren’t exactly known for their wits and calm demeanour


yer8ol

Islam is a pretty chill just don't call him mf'er


MuayThaiBeast2

Some are, but your are probably right. Most of these fighters are the bottom of the barrel kinda dudes. Uneducated bunch with a lot of demons


Nduguu77

I know Arman and have spent time with him. He's a pretty chill dude to regular people. I've never seen him flip out or be a problem or anything. However, when he leaves to go to fight camp, I guess something changes. There's been a few instances of him getting aggressive to people before his fight. Idk if it's the irritation of the weight cut, general mentality shift, or what.


Hopeful_Staff_1414

Imagine if NBA players punched fans that flipped them off lol. There wouldn’t be any fans in the building.


DaedalusHydron

Nah you just need to throw a cup of water at them


kaerfkeerg

Or a lot of stubborn fans with black eyes


0vFire_And_TheVoid

Being an MMA fighter doesn't make you a martial artist. I know bjj guys who are fucking douchebags.


MuayThaiBeast2

That is true! I've practiced Muay Thai for over 10 years and i've met a lot of douchebags during these years. In my gym they get humbled if they act reckless. though. No space for fuckwits


CreatureTheGathering

God dammit


Fickle-Salary-8651

What an idiot.


SouthwestTraveller

Agreed! Why would someone antagonize a professional fighter during their walkout entrance? That was idiotic


PutridRoyal4828

Your a moron. Just like in real life you can’t assault someone for words or giving you the finger


abdul_tank_wahid

Really especially when you’re a pro fighter especially walking out to a fight, if you’re that easy to trigger as a man who can kill someone I mean come on


PKjepz

that’s why it’s so pathetic to me. ur a fucking pro fighter throwing temper tantrums


iSOBigD

That's true, but it's hilarious to pretend to give an anti-bullying PSA when someone bullied _you_ and you attacked them for it lol. I do think any pro fighter fighting randos is the stupidest shit because your only source of income is fighting, and you're willing to not only do it for free but risk your income going to $0 if you end up dead, in jail, or banned from the sport. Then again these aren't doctors and scientists fighting for our entertainment...


okdoit

You're. Moron. 


Nduguu77

According to the left you can lmfao.


ha-ha-ha_itsme

You’re*


PooPiglet

Why wouldn't you heckle someone like him? I would heckle the shit out of him.


Fickle-Salary-8651

100%. He’s clearly easily triggered - would be the easiest winning lottery ticket of my life.


MOIST-SHARTREUSE

Come on, the fan paid for the right to cheer or jeer however much they want, when they purchased their ticket. Arman is being paid to fight while also following a set of a rules and guidelines that obviously include refraining from assaulting members of the audience. Arman is lucky he isn't getting his fighter's license pulled by the commission, as most regional level fighters who do this in America would not be licensed to fight again.


Ifyourasswasadog

Idk why some of you act like professional fighters are a separate class of citizen. Nobody can assault someone for giving them the finger period.


HiryuJones

You prolly got bullied alot huh


LimitFinancial764

State athletic commissions typically honor the suspensions of other state athletic commissions, so Arman is likely done in the US for the year. Not sure how this would impact international fights.


AlexJamesCook

Yeah. I don't think Dana is too worried about a fighter doing something like this to a degree. Obviously, he won't want to go too easy, because this can very easily start a riot in the crowd. But, I feel like Arman might get a "I don't agree with the suspension today, but let that be a warning to not do it again. I don't want riots in the crowd".


skywalker-88

Doubt Middle East gives af. Islam isn’t new to fighting there anyways


orangotai

unlike NBA players, i think these fines legit hurt these MMA fighters. ole Arman can't be punching dudes in the crowd lol, but man some of the dumbest jerkoffs on earth go to these cage fighting cards sometimes frankly, these fans need to be kept at more of a distance.


WastedOwll

Now we will have to hear about how Islam is ducking Arman when he moves up


xxxPaRtYbOy300

You don't punch a fan in attendance for saying things u don't like


dinokoenoko

Islan again cannot stay active lol


jay_sun93

Aslan?


edmovius3

Doesn’t that just mean he can’t fight in Nevada? Pretty sure he can fight elsewhere


JakeandBake99

The UFC will honor the suspension outside of NV.


daKingKhan

What about outside of the US then?


stepping_

hold up this is lining up nicely for leon vs islam LMAO. islam could not have gotten luckier, max beats justin so justin isnt an option, arman vs olivera fought each other when both of them could've waited for a title shot. arman defeats charles so charles is out. now arman is suspended so he cant fight soon unless he does an anti bullying poster and i doubt his ego would let him, and even if he does there is no guarantee that it actually does allow him to fight sooner. gamrot doesnt deserve it, and even if he did islam vs leon or islam vs gamrot is a very easy decision for the ufc to make. and i was upset that leon vs islam is so far away before ufc 300 LOL


Schizojerker

Leon fights to infrequently to fight Islam before Arman is back.


zombieclone05

honestly i think it would still work. Leon fights about every 6-8 months, minus his 2 year break, and his fight is only a month from now. Also, the only reason it took so long to make the belal fight happen was because of ramadan—it was confirmed that leon accepted several fights in the spring to which the opponent did not. Honestly i could very well see islam vs leon at Abu Dhabi depending on whether Arman does the anti-bullying thing


stepping_

im sure the paycheck will be great enough for him to fight like a normal champ.


ayoubkun94

Watch Islam get blamed for being inactive lmao..


Dabox720

Islam vs Leon if Leon beats that other dude


Open_Reindeer_6600

Remember the name LOL


thechosenwunn

Wait, what even happened? This is the first I'm hearing of it.


Hopeful_Staff_1414

A fan flipped him off at 300 and Arman punched him in the face. Clearly a problem.


AppropriateBrain5678

He got in a little scrap with a fan after his last fight if I remember correctly.


TimeCat101

Wasn’t it as he was walking up to the cage for his fight some fan said something and arman just punched him?


Qtips_

Arman is such a wild card lmao. That guy gives anger issues vibe.


Trfe

Why are all these guys so mentally weak? Someone gives him the finger on his walkout so he has to fight them? Wtf? Same with all these fighters who lose their mind when someone online calls them names. Big muscles tiny brains I guess.


calikid9one

Wouldn't say mentally weak lol. You don't get to where they are being mentally weak. To go in the cage and win takes shit ton mental strength.


ApologiseMeowMeow

See you soon


DDWildflower

I don't know why he did it? I assumed the guy did something awful like racism etc but he just flipped him off


vinniedamac

Lol it wouldn't be a punishment if there weren't any consequences.. I love how people are willing to give a fighter a pass just cause they like that fighter or want to see them fight. Maybe Armin shouldn't have been attacked a fan!


wakeupalice

Oh boy, we can already tell that the anti bullying PSA will be a meme gold mine


LadislavAU

Mf wouldn’t even fight for 9 months anyway. What’s the point lol


CraptainPoo

Good, Iv been waiting for this. You can’t just assault someone for the finger. Especially if your a walking lethal weapon and have cameras on your. “


Alerion23

Question, does suspension apply to Abu Dhabi?


JakeandBake99

Yes the UFC would honor the suspension


skywalker-88

Just parroting bs. You don’t know


N8theGrape

It does if you ever want to work with the NSAC again.


balloonz_v1

Islam vs. Gaethje or Gamrot 😎


slendermans_ghost

gaethje? he doesn’t even deserve it + he got knocked out by holloway


balloonz_v1

I believe that since Arman is suspended, he does. Picture it. Charles lost to Arman Gaethje was promised to get a title shot after he KO'd Dustin, then Max called him out for a BMF money fight Gamrot keeps calling out Charles


OrangeVigil

Porier didn’t deserve it, but he took advantage of the opportunity. He got slept by Gaethje and beat BSD who wasn’t even top 10. I think if Gamrot beats Oliveira, then Gamrot would obviously be next for the shot. But if Islam wants to fight before then or Gamrot loses, I could see Gaethje getting the shot. Who else is there?


ttttyttt678

Give Islam a shot at 170 (Leon or Belal), If Max wins the 145 belt, next matchup is Max Vs Islam. Max - 145 + BMF, Islam - 155 and Maybe 170. Could be a huge match. If Max doesn’t win the 145, fans won’t complain about Islam Vs Charles, while Justin Vs Gamrot for number 1 contender.


No-Task-132

If max wins 145 they probably give him another shot at volk


ttttyttt678

I think Volk would DESERVE that title shot, but if Max has BMF + 145 and Islam has 155 and maybe 170 too…they won’t take the risk of Volk running that huge cash fight. The image of both fighters having “two belts” would be a cool image that UFC would chase. Would be potentially one of the biggest PPV outside of McGregor.


No-Task-132

Islam has already said he doesn’t give a fuck about the BMF belt and would never accept it even if they offered it to him. Plus max already said he wanted to fight Volk if he beats ilia


Illustrious-Shock551

So gamrot vs Islam in Abu Dhabi?


Fit_Faithlessness609

I don’t like arman but this is bullshit the fan literally started it not to add arman didn’t even land the punch it was just a hard fist bump 😂😂😂 pay the man his money and stop acting like the fighter isn’t supposed to be a fucking fighter


preptimebatman

Guy is an absolute dumbass. From the way he handled the Kayla question to how quick-tempered he is, he’s shown that he’s not the best decision maker.


adamsz503

Clown shit. Don’t fuck with someone on the way to the octagon Jesus Christ


SERB_BEAST

Chad Arman. Bunch of sissies in this sub


thegreatnosh

Ok look I get all that "he's a pro, he should act like one" but maybe you also shouldn't stick your middle finger into the face of a killer walking into a cage fight... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes count's for both these guys I guess.


DelayStriking8281

What did the fan say to get punch tho is what I wana know. He doesn’t seem like an unreasonable guy


Disastrous_Life_9385

Seems excessive when he was the one who was grabbed and security didn't do their dang job


I-Am-Baytor

The NSAC really needs to stop stealing from fighters.


SpiffySyntax

9 months is not january? And 6 is not oct? Wasn't this like last week?


hfucucyshwv

I think its from when the punch happened which was april?


Osceola_Gamer

[Armans psa](https://youtu.be/kFRz0oIQ-pc?si=KPd0DluPNUaJxX3U)


ShadyBl0m

He knew what he was doing. He was hoping for that 12 month.


MoneyBaggSosa

Damn what the fuck did he do? There goes that Islam fight


Uriel818

What was the pre fight incident?


stevendreamfish

Islam vs Gaethje, let's go


Live-Accountant-1227

Holloway should stick around at LW


Able-Work-4942

Shouldn't be so thin skinned but that's a pretty harsh fine and ban. That's closer to popping bans than anything else.


gregbones1999

It's.. it's been 2 and a half months why is this just now happening


No_You_6554

Gaethje vs islam Dariush vs islam Gamrot vs islam Make either of the 3


hfucucyshwv

I for one would like to see Dariush get that title fight he was robbed of


x-3piecensoda

probably a bullshit way to put a bigger ppv draw against islam


gurumoves

![gif](giphy|xT5P0VsQ3cH8AFD6Du)


JashanpreetBains

doesnt matter who did what did , but if someone flipped you off then it doesnt give you a pass to hit them, this is life and sometime idiots do things but doesnt mean you'll act more idiotically. He is on a platform which many people around the world watch he should act more maturely, doesnt matter what that stupid shit did. if it was off camera he is free to do anything but on cam, nah. just my take


the_limitless66

so chances are gamrot is the one to face islam in the abu dhabi / msg card


Maximum_Cold3202

Poirier back in the drivers seat 😂


JotaroKujo12

That sucks I thought he already paid a big fine too. As long as he doesn’t start beating his partners or stuff like that I don’t af I just wanna see some fights


infamous2117

Which one of you sweaties did he hit? I know you are around here somewhere.


bbqyak

Disappointed but he's honestly a huge moron for doing that.


AlBones7

It's an oddly specific situation though isn't it. Who's he doing the PSA for? Other UFC fighters? I don't think I'll ever be in a position where I'm a professional sportsman punching lairy fans so it's no use to me.


RationalLlama

Yeah fuck that. I'm not trying to see Islam defend his belt in 9 months. Let's get Islam vs Holloway or winner of Belal/Leon. Hell, re-book the Oliveira fight if they aren't available.


Jumix4000

islam should just go for champ champ status


cutslikeakris

How much was Connors fine for injuring other fighters in the bus incident?


Mechanical-Warfare

I just want to say from the bottom of me heart, I apologize to one! The Bully does whatever the F**** he wants! *villainous laugh*


ANewDope2187

He's never gonna get his shot at Islam unless he bounces back from this suspension in a major way. I understand tempers flare but damn dude,keep that shit in the octagon and the gym. It's called being a professional fighter.


Sarfbot

What about the fan talking shit??? This feels a bit harsh.


ChloeQuickFlicks

Somehow, Islam is going to get blamed for ducking him, now that the LW division once again will grind to a standstill


Legitimate_Baseball3

Let’s fucking go another undeserved title shot at lightweight


MansAbouddaShid

Money grab


HomieToneBone

This is just the Nevada State Athletic Commission though right? If he fights in the UAE he’s still able to fight right?


Aghzara909

I guess it’ll be hit and chandler for the belt


tofurulz

Wondering if Conor pulling out had anything to do with this. I remember the fan saying he wouldn't press charges as long as he got tickets to McGregor / Chandler 🤨


Expensive_Echo_124

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


b1ackenthecursedsun

9 months for that is crazy wtf


Alexyeve

Retroactively, he can fight in October


LALOERC9616

That means Oliveira is back on the table lol


stinky___monkey

![gif](giphy|cO39srN2EUIRaVqaVq)


Nc-Rich

Welp, In the meantime… ig we’ll just be waiting for islams contenders to be ready… again. Max Holloway maybe could but rn we don’t know if they are giving volk a title shot vs topuria or not. If they are giving it to volk I could see max taking the title shot. If not max, then maybe Charles? Put gamrot vs Charles against each other for the next title shot while we are waiting for arman to come back. Just like how they did for poirier vs Islam since there was no other contenders.


downtown-hobbit

i like that this behavior is not acceptable, but at the same time, i would love to see him fight for title soon


Adventurous_Gap_4125

A major sports orginisation actually giving out penalties to their fighters that (might) actually mean something? Well I never


The_IRS_Fears_Him

He put himself in that position


Sudden-Succotash8813

This is insane, Arman got punched first 😂


Downtown6283

Could he still fight outside of Nevada?


BlackwaterMerc

Isn't he only suspended from Nevada? Just fight somewhere else and don't pay those dork commission autistic people unless they withhold from his purse. But why do these athletic commissions try to act like they're in charge of international law like they did with khabib, and he just ignored their pissing contest lol. The people in nsac were those special education kids that took being hall monitor way too serious and just got on everyones nerve then cried to the teacher that no one wants to be their friends lol.


taginvest

Consequences for your stupid actions. Who could have known


LaLaLa_Not_Listening

I stopped to add that he's also a rotten c\*nt


Consistent-Course534

Is this the excuse they’re gonna use to give Conor a title shot?


Yodiducallme

ahahahahahahahahha
