A mysterious Russian MMA fighter is making headlines today after one of the most unusual assaults we’ve seen at a press conference to date.

The whole thing was captured on video, taken from a press conference held by a Russian promotion thought to be called “Arena Fighting”.

The clip opens up with one fighter advancing to the other, flowers in hand. He extends them as a gift, but when the other fighter starts to get up, the man who had the flowers hits him with a roundhouse that appears to get checked.

That doesn’t stop the action, as the original aggressor takes his opponent down, as security and even another random fighter intervened to split them up.

Things seem to calm down once the two get separated, but all of a sudden the MMA fighters get back into it again, and the gift giver seemingly lands or barely grazes the recipient with a spinning back kick. Unfortunately for the man who was given the gift and assaulted, security was about to rough him up too.

One of the security guards can be seen getting the gift recipient in a rear-body lock, before fully raising him up and channeling Rampage Jackson’s aura with a vicious slam.

Russia is known for having some of the wilder MMA promotions. Including Epic Fighting, which is known for putting on purposefully mismatched fights, or “Freak Show Fights”, including male vs female bouts.

One such fight saw a female MMA fighter take on a 530lbs man. While another featured a female fighter named Yulia Mishko who took on a 75-year old man and his 18-year-old grandson at the same time… and she won.

Is freak-show fighting becoming the most disturbing new MMA trend? Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

Colby Covington Defeats Jorge Masvidal With Dominant Decision Win – UFC 272 Highlights

Bragging rights for former interim UFC welterweight champion, Colby Covington — who scores a rather comprehensive unanimous decision (49-46, 50-44, 50-45) win over former teammate and friend, Jorge Masvidal in the main event of UFC 272. A dominant round for the former interim champion, Covington, who manages to sit out on the back of Masvidal […]

A dominant round for the former interim champion, Covington, who manages to sit out on the back of Masvidal after a series of takedowns at the fence following an eye poke. Covington imposed his wrestling and top control early. One round in the books for the Clovis native.

A promising start to the second round from Masvidal who lands a good series of leg kicks as well as a couple body kicks. Covington ties up at the fence, eats a slew of elbows, and then lands a groin strike after a miscued knee strike.

Covington again wains on Masvidal with pressure in the final minute of the frame, forcing the latter to fight off the back foot. The round ends in the clinch, and it appears that Masvidal is feeling the effects of Covington’s late round pressure and that taxing clinch work paired with takedown defense.

Covington lands his fourth takedown of the fight just after the opening minute elapses in the third round, and this time, he lands in full guard, and starts laying down ground strikes. Masvidal scrambles following a neck crank attempt from Covington, however, the #1 ranked contender winds up on top again in a hugely dominant round.

Massive moment in the fourth for Masvidal who clips Covington with a right hook, drawing a wobble from the Clovis native who then recovers and once more clinches to stifle any offense from Masvidal.

Dominant fifth and final round for Covington as well, who relentlessly lays his weight on Masvidal at the fence, constantly forcing the Miami native to work and carry his weight with just over a minute and a half remaining in the frame. Some brief afters the horn as Covington lands strikes from the top. Bragging rights for the former interim champion.

Holland, a former streaking middleweight contender, made his welterweight debut under the promotion’s banner tonight against Oliveira, however, it didn’t prove entirely plain sailing for the Riverside native.

However, just over 20 seconds into the second round, Holland cracked Oliveira with a right hand in the pocket, and from the short shot, chased down Oliveira, and began laying down a series of ground strikes — eventually switching to elbow strikes, forcing the stoppage.
