BKFC president David Feldman was not in the mood to see one of his fighters try to shove his opponent off stage during the ceremonial weigh-ins on Thursday so he took matters into his own hands.
At the BKFC Liberty Brawl weigh-ins, local fighter Pat Sullvan was facing off with opponent Ruben Arroyo and nothing much happened during the initial staredown. But after the fighters were told to face forwards for additional photos and videos, they began jockeying for position with one stepping in front of the other.
Arroyo eventually stepped under Sullvan’s arm and posed for the cameras but that led to the Philadelphia native shoving him as the four-time BKFC veteran nearly tumbled off stage. Security immediately intervened and that included Feldman, who erupted at Sullivan for his antics as he pushed him backwards while clearly irritated by the whole altercation.
“What the f*ck would you do that for?” Feldman shouted at Sullivan. “What the f*ck’s your problem? F*cking punk. F*cking jerkoff.”
Sullivan kept smiling through it all but it’s safe to say he didn’t exactly ingratiate himself to the big boss at BKFC with the shove that nearly sent his opponent off the stage.
The rest of the weigh-ins went down without any further incident including the heated rivalry between former BKFC champion Mike Richman and his opponent Johnny Garbarino after they had to be separated several times during the pre-fight press conference on Wednesday.
