Up until that point, everything seemed like it was going to plan. Fighters had made weight and would face-off against one another for the customary stare-down ahead of the behind-closed-doors UFC Vegas 9 event on Saturday.But then Zelim Imadaev and Michel Pereira stepped onto the dais and things took a spicy turn when Pereira appeared to feint a head-butt at Imadaev.In response, Imadaev raised his left hand and struck Pereira around the face with an open-palm strike.The UFC president Dana White then intervened, separating the welterweights, before security officials held back the fighters who continued making threatening gestures at one another.Watch it here:<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6AszKOSE7RM" frameborder="0"></iframe>"I'm getting old," <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3J59uJH-RU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">White told the media at a post-event press conference</a>.

"They're all ready to fight. This is the fight game, man."This one's on me.

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47172906.cms" />Once the verdict was announced pronouncing him as guilty, a visibly shaken and crestfallen <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword> was asked by the Judge if he wanted to say anything. To which Salman said, “I was not driving the car.” This, even as he kept gesturing to his sisters <keyword id="2053" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Alvira">Alvira</keyword> and Arpita to not breakdown and cry in court. 
 
Everything now boils down to how many years will he have to serve in prison. The biggest and the most serious charge that he has been found guilty of is under Section 304(2) of the IPC, which pertains to culpable homicide not amounting to murder that carries with it a maximum jail term of 10 years. 
 
While the sentencing is awaited today, Salman’s defence have been pleading for a lenient jail term of 2 years with a hefty fine/compensation for the affected peoples’ families. The pleas that the superstar’s counsel is making are primarily on two grounds. First, that this incident was mainly an aberration to the ‘human’ personality that Salman Khan is. The counsel have been pleading to the Judge to consider the ‘humanitarian’ work that Salman has been doing which has been bringing about such positive changes to several lives. This despite, Salman giving strict instructions to his counsel not to publicize or use his humanitarian work as a reason for lowering his jail term. The defense told the court, "Don't punish him more just because he is an actor. Enhance the fine but don't punish him beyond 3 years." 
 The second and more important plea being made pertains again to two very high profile hit and run cases similar to this one. The first being the 1998 <keyword id="45587" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sanjeev-Nanda">Sanjeev Nanda</keyword> <keyword id="6355119" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="BMW">BMW</keyword> case where Nanda ran over and killed six people including 3 police officers in Delhi and the second one being the <keyword id="574170" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Alistair-Pereira">Alistair Pereira</keyword> case in Mumbai, where the latter mowed down and killed 7 people on the pavement. In both cases the <keyword id="6354977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Supreme-Court">Supreme Court</keyword> handed out jail terms of 2 and 3 years respectively, despite the accused being under the influence of alcohol and behind the wheels when the incidents occurred. The counsel has argued that in both the above cases 6-7 people were killed with no signs of any compensation to the affected people's families, while this incident involves the death of only one person and a compensation pacjkage of Rs 19 lakh that has already been paid by Salman to the concerned people. 
 The prosecution, in the meanwhile, has pleaded with the judge to hand out the most stringent punishment, not taking his social work into consideration. The court has even ordered for perjury charges to be filed against Salman's <keyword id="6366401" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Driver">driver</keyword>, <keyword id="167070" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ashok-Singh">Ashok Singh</keyword>. 
 
Salman Khan could be heading to either the Nasik or the Yerawada jail very soon.

Salman Khan: Salman's Defense to Court: 'Don't punish him more just because he is an actor'

<img class="gwt-Image" src="/photo/47173734.cms" />Convicted of killing one person and injuring 5 others, a <keyword id="2838854" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Sessions-Court-in-Bombay">Sessions Court in Bombay</keyword> today sentenced <keyword id="6354583" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Salman-Khan">Salman Khan</keyword> to 5 years in jail, with no more compensation required to be paid to the victims’ families. Given that the jail term exceeds 3 years, there will be no immediate bail provided. Salman’s team of defence counsel will have to appeal to the <keyword id="48485" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Bombay-high-court">Bombay High Court</keyword>. It is unlikely that the Bombay High Court will be able to hear the bail plea today. The Bombay High Court is also expected to go on vacation in a few days, while the <keyword id="166190" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="vacation-judge">vacation judge</keyword> has limited powers. At best, it could be a few days to weeks for Salman behind bars before he manages to get out on bail. 
Salman Khan, now, is likely to be taken for finger printing, followed by a medical check-up, post which he will be sent behind bars. But this is not Salman’s last legal resort. Post securing the bail, he has the option of appealing against the <keyword id="6366930" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Session-Court">Session Court</keyword>’s judgement at the Bombay High Court. Even after that, the last resort would be an appeal at the country’s apex court, the <keyword id="6354977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Supreme-Court">Supreme Court</keyword>. 
Salman has been found guilty of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Salman’s counsel is expected to move the Bombay High Court now, having already come prepared for the worst. This despite his counsel trying its best to ensure that Salman didn’t get sentenced to more than 2 years in jail. Earlier in the day, Salman’s defence pleaded for a lenient jail term of 2 years with a hefty fine/compensation for the affected peoples’ families. The pleas that the superstar’s counsel made were primarily on two grounds. First, that this incident was mainly an aberration to the ‘human’ personality that Salman Khan is.

The second and more important plea being made pertains again to two very high profile hit and run cases similar to this one. The first being the 1998 Sanjeev Nanda BMW case where Nanda ran over and killed six people including 3 police officers in Delhi and the second one being the Alistair Pereira case in Mumbai, where the latter mowed down and killed 7 people on the pavement. In both cases the Supreme Court handed out jail terms of 2 and 3 years respectively, despite the accused being under the influence of alcohol and behind the wheels when the incidents occurred. In the meanwhile, the court dismissed any perjury case to be filed against Salman’s <keyword id="6366401" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Driver">driver</keyword> <keyword id="167070" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ashok-Singh">Ashok Singh</keyword>.
