Female UFC fighter Leslie Smith just beat an apology of a man who grabbed her friend’s butt

A female UFC fighter taught one man a lesson in manners after he groped one of her friends.

Bantamweight Leslie Smith and strawweight Heather Clark were standing outside a San Francisco club with a group of friends when a man grabbed the behind of one of the women.

Smith instantly confronted the man, who has not been identified, saying ‘Hey, you can't do that.'

But as if the man's initial act wasn't bad enough, he then spat in Smith's face.

‘F*** you. I can do whatever he want,' he told her.

Smith replied: ‘No motherf***er, you can't.'

Then the man swung. Bad idea.

Smith slipped the punch, drove the man back into a wall and took him to the floor. Then she started raining down elbows on him.

‘He tued over and I just dropped elbows on him from mount against the building until he started saying, 'I'm sorry,'‘ Smith told Bloody Elbow.

‘Then I stopped as soon as he said sorry, because that was really the only thing I went over there for.'

Smith said she that she initially wanted to the keep the incident quiet, but has changed her mind.

‘It has given my friend and all of my female friends so much pleasure to know that happened,' she said.

‘It's not an unusual thing for a woman, a good-looking woman in public to get grabbed and fondled by strangers.

‘At first, I was trying to keep the whole thing on the down low and not say anything about it, but after seeing how happy it has made so many women, I changed my mind.'

We suspect the man in question may keep his hands to himself in future.
