The Israeli MMA fighter who is supposed to compete in Dana White's show against Javid Bashart, caused a big mess at the weigh-in event and won harsh reviews and attacks on social media


Oron Kahlon, the Israeli MMA fighter, worked for many years to try and reach the UFC.

At the age of 36, he was given the opportunity to do so when it was decided that he would go up for a fight against Javid in the Afghan short in the candidate program of the president of the prestigious organization - Dana White.

Last night (Monday) he apparently hit himself very hard in his professional future when he could not stand the weight (had to reach 61.5 kg) and then also verbally attacked his opponent and called him a "terrorist".

In the released video, the two are seen approaching each other, with Kahlon reaching out to his opponent to shake his hand.

After Bashart ignored the handshake, Kahlon called him a "terrorist," and received harsh criticism across the network.

Oron Kahlon should be ashamed of himself.

Bashart posted the video on his Instagram account and wrote: "This coward tried to dodge the fight against me when he lost weight at three pounds. I told him that despite that, I would still take shape and he probably did not like it and called me a terrorist. Apparently he was looking for another way out of the fight "Missing the weight will not help him, but unfortunately it does not move me and I will fight it nonetheless."

Another Afghan wrote: "Hey friends. We must not go down to his level and give him racist remarks. He is a scumbag, and I will do my part in battle. I ask you not to go down to his level. As a Muslim, we must show the world that this is a religion of peace. This story, and if you want to send him private messages and wish him to lose, go for it. "
