MMA Fighter Gets DQ'd From Boxing Match After Throwing A Vicious Head Kick From Outta Nowhere

OH MY GOD. I hesitated to blog this, because it almost doesn't even look real with the way the video was filmed and edited (from multiple angles and whatnot) - but I'm gonna trust the below information and believe this was legitimate....

It appears Idris Abdurashitov (MMA fighter) decided to step into the squared circle and take on a boxer - and then when it wasn't going his way, he threw a VICIOUS head kick (with shoes on!) out of frustration that sent Bagher Faraji into the shadow realm immediately. As the Barstool main account pointed out, this is an all time scumbag move. No two ways about it. I assume the "spinzone" will be that Abdurashitov was rocked/dazed/confused and threw it out of instinct or something, but it certainly doesn't appear that way. He's probably gonna receive a ban of some sort and deservedly so. You can't sign up for a boxing match and decide it's an MMA fight halfway through the sixth round.

However, I'd be lying if I claimed I didn't want Conor McGregor to do this to Floyd Mayweather a few years back. Imagine that?

Just whacked him with a head kick right there and hopped back on a flight to Ireland?

I think we were all thinking about it in the back of our minds….what if he throws something that's not allowed? When he was getting swarmed by Floyd in that 10th round, I was BEGGING for an elbow, a flying knee, a head kick - ANYTHING. I know it would've been fucked up, but I just really didn't want to see a Mayweather KO. I think it'd be pretty legendary, and some would even call it: notorious. I'd like to see the multiverse reality where that happened.

BONUS CLIP: One of the craziest illegal maneuvers I've ever seen in a boxing match was this WWE style spinbuster/spear combo at Rough N Rowdy a few years back….
