I'm going to make him suffer for 14 minutes, and then get him when I want to get him."Angered by the comment, Basharat continued: "He's going to give me submissions, he's going to want a way out but I'm not going to take it. He's going to give me knockouts, he's going to want a way out, I'm not going to take it."I'm going to beat him up until when I've had enough, I'm going to submit him. To be honest, I had enough."Victory advanced Basharat's pro <keyword id="11922276" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="mma" source="Orion">MMA</keyword> record to 11 wins (five knockouts and six submissions) against zero losses or draws.The way Basharat carried himself through fight week, in the fight itself, and beyond, has boosted his name value in the sport.He finished by remarking that he appreciates other people - fans and media - who were also offended by Kahlon's "terrorist" comment."It just shows these things cannot be tolerated and people are on the same wavelength as me, even though it wasn't directed at them," he said."It was directed at me, but they still got offended by it. Because racism's a no-no. You don't just get racist and you just don't do that sort of stuff."

So he did the opposite, remaining poised throughout the week before channeling his aggression perfectly to defeat his opponent by third-round guillotine choke.The win advanced Basharat's unblemished pro MMA record to 11 wins (five knockouts and six submissions).Watch his latest victory right here:<h2>'Welcome to the UFC, brother'</h2><div type="image" title="Javid Basharat celebrates in front of Dana White." height="1370" width="2000" msid="87305394" hostid="261"></div>White could be seen smiling in the immediate aftermath of Basharat's victory, as the 26-year-old mounted the fence of the Octagon and gesticulated right in front of the company president.Handing the fighter a UFC contract later, White called Basharat "mean" and "nasty."He said: "The entire fight he was going for the finish. He destroyed him. He did whatever he wanted to do to him, whenever he wanted to do it."On the pre-fight controversy that threatened to mar the Contender Series, White said: "It was definitely in his head, but it wasn't in his head - if you know what I mean."He came in and did what you do in these types of situations. Impressive. I was blown away by the entire performance. Welcome to the UFC, brother."<h2>UFC won't do anything about Kahlon's inflammatory comment</h2><div type="image" title="Javid Basharat jumps out of his seat to receive his UFC deal." height="1499" width="1999" msid="87305396" hostid="261"></div>Kahlon's "terrorist" comment was ugly, inflammatory, and unnecessary, but the UFC won't do anything about it as, according to White, "it got done tonight."Speaking to reporters at the post-event press conference, White said: "This is the beautiful thing about the sport, and I say it all the time."This is not a nice sport, this is a very rough sport, we say a lot of mean things to each other … [but] justice gets served at the end of the day."When you have a situation like that, the best way to solve the problem is you fight, and you fight legally, you get paid to do it. And that's what happened tonight."When asked if he ever concerns himself with an athlete who may cross the line during a pre-fight war of words, White simply said: "No."He continued: "You can add that to the pile to nasty things that have been said in this sport. And not just this sport, but boxing, I'm sure Muay Thai, kickboxing - you name it. Mean things are said."In this insanely politically correct world we're living in, this is one place that is not."

He later said in a statement that an escalation was exactly what Kahlon would have wanted.Basharat said it all started to kick off when he told Kahlon that he'd still kick his ass even though he missed weight for the fight."This pussy wanted a way out by missing weight by three pounds," Basharat said, <a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/10/25/22745151/oron-kahlon-calls-afghani-fighter-javid-basharat-terrorist-in-ugly-moment-contender-series-weigh-ins" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to MMA Fighting</a>, citing an Instagram post that has since been removed from the platform."I told him I'm gonna still whoop his arse, he then called me a terrorist.
