Russia's Epic Fighting Championship is as unpredictable as it is bizarre. The competition, if you can call it that, has witnessed many farcical bouts but this one might be the most eccentric yet.?
In a bizarre bout, which has shocked the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) community, a 75-year-old senior citizen and his grandson fought a female fighter.
Yulia Mishko, also known as ¡®the Tomboy¡¯, took on the joint, unusual pairing of Big Igibob and his grandad Vladimir Spartak.? ?
Igibob and his grandfather were making their debuts as they had no prior fighting experience before the event except the latter's time during the Vietnam war, SPORTbible?reported.?
The peculiar match-up lasted three rounds,?with each round taking three minutes, and seemed to follow?MMA rules, as the trio notably wore MMA gloves and the referee allowed ground-and-pound.?
Despite Spartak and son¡¯s numerical advantage, Mishko went all guns blazing and took the fight to her two male opponents. In the early stages,?Spartak took most of the risks,?with his grandson seemingly shying away from much of the confrontation.?
During the second round,?Mishko looked more in control?as she sent Spartak spiralling towards the canvas, and then Igibob?to the floor where she attempted some ground-and-pound before Spartak came back.?Mishko dropped Spartak yet again in round three with a haymaker.
The spectacle was as ridiculous as it sounds so much so that?one of the female fighter¡¯s cornermen struggled to keep his giggles in check.?
Even though she was outnumbered, Mishko walked away relatively unscathed.?
However, to everyone's surprise, the fight was scored a draw, despite the two men landing almost no offence between them and being dropped a collective three times by clean shots.??
In the post-match interview, Spartak appeared to admit that by round three he had given up on winning the bout, and was simply looking to show his spirit by going the distance, The Mirror reported.?
Igibob, unfazed by his dismal show during?the boat,?claimed their contest was one of the best in the Epic Fighting Championship's?history, as he vowed to fight again alongside his grandfather in a further post-fight interview.?
Overall, the fight was an outrageous example of the Epic Fighting Championships, which are known for putting on some controversial contests.?
Just last month, a fan jumped into an MMA?cage and attempted to stop the bizarre?mixed-gender encounter?between female model Sasha Mamaha and male pornstar Alexnader Pistoletov.??
