MMA Press Conference: Punches and kicks erupted in a brawl that left a stunned audience.
Arena Winline's Russian event was a chaotic scene. One fighter addressed another man while speaking into the microphone.
As a result, he missed his first punch.
The man sat down and he continued to swing his fist at him, before security intervened to break up the situation.
The camera finally panted around to the audience, who were disbelieving.
This isn't an unusual occurrence in the promotion of a fight sports event.
A press conference for the Hype Fighting Championship took place earlier this month and was also marred by a heated altercation.
The promoters of the event posted a message on social media following the brawl, but did not condemn the actions.
They said, "This is Hype Fighting." There was a fight at the conference. This is what we can do.
The post was widely criticized and Dana White, the UFC boss, even addressed the comments.
He stated that there is a standard for press conferences. This is why we are there.
