LAS VEGAS – A ceremonial faceoff turned ugly ahead of Dana White’s Contender Series 45 when Israel’s Oron Kahlon called Afghanistan’s Javid Basharat a “terrorist.” Kahlon missed weight for the bantamweight clash moments earlier , coming in at 139 pounds. He was fined 20 percent of his purse, but the bout will go on as scheduled. The two were then paired together for a traditional pre-fight faceoff at the fighter hotel. Basharat seemed to decline his opponent’s handshake as they neared, and the two then began speaking indistinctly to each other.
