Mokhtarian, who was slated to coach fighters at the Dark Matter Fighting Championship on April 19 at Warwick Farm, southwest Sydney, is believed to be the target of a potential gang-related attack. New South Wales Police intervened, citing serious risks to public safety and prompting the NSW Combat Sports Authority to deny a permit for the event to proceed.
