Surprisingly, the fighter decided to exact revenge after they dissolved the brawl. He stood waiting for the man and sucker punched him as soon as he came out through the doors. Without a doubt, the fans took to the comments section and shared their views. While some fans stood against the Dagestani fighter, many others understood the reason behind his actions.
Here is what fans said:
For being the “pro” the other guy landed some nice hits. The best shot the pro landed was his cheap shot in the end… pretty pathetic

it’s an escalator… you don’t pass someone on an escalator or walk down it it moves by itself that’s why it’s an escalator not stairs, he couldn’t wait 3 seconds to get off?

He got handled and then waited for a sucker punch for "revenge" I'd imagine he amassed that "undefeated" record in ACA?

No disciplined fighter uses their skills in public unless provoked. But this is just confusing to say the least.
