“I started cheering for Seth Rosario as he was getting the finish and someone from the crowd threw garbage at me and were showing middle fingers at me, and mocking me,” Srikant said during a conversation with Locker Room.
“I got pissed on this bunch and told them f**k you and flipped back. Then one official caught my hand and was taking me out of the cage side. He said get out of here, this crowd is getting mad at you and started escorting me out of the ringside,” he added.
Srikant Shekhar concluded, “I was going out with him and out of nowhere, I got sucker-punched by Abdul Badakshi from behind. I didn’t even see him coming, and neither I knew where he was. He hit me twice and I fell down. As I was on the floor, I saw officials pushing him and covering me up. Then the crowd broke into the arena and starts stomping me.”
Following the incident, Ayesha Shroff, part of the core team of the Matrix Fight Night 9 event, commented that no Afghan fighter will ever feature at the event again.
