A 6ft 7 MMA monster has tackled a 300lb Russian celebrity known as ‘The Dumpling’ in none besides … A slapping contest.

That’s right, the Russian Slapping Championships are not only a thing, they also match some massive – essentially – individuals against each various other in what might be one of the most bizarre battle you’ll ever view.

Vasily Khamotskiy is known in the slapping biz as a rather huge deal, having actually earned the nickname of ‘The Dumpling’ many thanks to his stocky frame.

He won the inaugural Russian Slapping Championships at the Siberian Power Show back in March 2019, and also earlier this month he returned to safeguard his title.

The Siberian farmer took on a Brazilian MMA celebrity called Zuluzinho, who is so tall he can be seen towering over every person in the area in footage from the big occasion.

For the fight – which RT reports had a reward total amount of 150,000 rubles ($ 2,000/ ₤ 1,600) – the area had actually been established to resemble a jail, with extras worn orange one-piece suits to actually drive that incarcerated feeling house.

A mosaic from The Russian Slapping Championships provided fans a backstory for each slapper, playing on Khamotiskiy’s farming background by revealing him driving an integrate harvester through a field.

Zuluzinho, meanwhile, was provided a slightly extra confusing storyline, in which – simply moments prior to the competition – he managed to leave being electrocuted for his noticeable criminal activities, fleing from his death penalty to do what he was born to do: put Dumpling, obviously.

After winning the coin flip, Dumpling was granted the very first put, and also chalked his hand prior to laying one on his challenger.

His hand left an imprint on Zuluzinho’s face, but his challenger merely grinned with the pain prior to taking his turn – which was sadly refused as his hand took down on the ear, something that’s taken into consideration a nasty.

Many, numerous puts later on, officials made a decision there was no clear winner in the fight, and also a draw was declared.

An underwhelming result, maybe, yet a minimum of the two opponents could share the 150,000 rubles prior to embracing it out.

Sure, it might be among the weirder sporting activities around, however with much of the world’s massive occasions like the Olympics as well as Wimbledon now terminated because of coronavirus, we’ll take it.
