Hafid Alicea falls into the latter category, it appears. This was following a freestyle wrestling match in the United States of America against Cooper Corder.

After Corder defeated Alicea in a freestyle wrestling match in the 56kg-58kg weight division in Illinois, the former held out his hand in an act of good sportsmanship as the referee brought them together.

However, Alicea deemed it fit to punch Corder in a fit of rage. The ref quickly moved the attacker away as shocked gasps and exclamations came from those who witnessed the ugly incident.
