Cage fighter proposes after defeat and gets rejected in front of 20,000 fans

Fresh from suffering defeat at the Clash of the Stars event in his native Czech Republic, the pink-haired Bukovaz got down on one knee and presented a ring to his partner stood beside him.

Bukovaz had been on the losing side in a two-on-one fight against Jan Michalek and, remarkably, that wasn’t the lowest point of his evening.

That moment duly arrived when his partner immediately recoiled and turned away with a look of sheer panic on her face.

‘Based on everything that’s happened, I think probably not,’ she said into the microphone, prompting a chorus boos and jeers from the crowd.

‘I don’t think so.’ 

Towards the end of the clip, which has spread like wildfire across social media, a man can be seen throwing water in the direction of Bukovaz’s partner from behind the cage.

The individual in question then proceeds to walking away from the octagon as Bukovaz’s girlfriend turns in disgust.

She later went on to explain her reaction, claiming that Bukovaz had cheated behind her back with another woman ahead of the bout – an accusation he has subsequently denied.

‘I did not cheat on her,’ Bukovaz said a number of times in a video posted to his Instagram account.
