Despite this, Kulinskiy, known as ‘ACAB’, was not inclined to wait for the fight to commence.
In an astonishing incident, he ATTACKED Yadullaev, the social media sensation, right during the introductions.
Kulinskiy charged at Yadullaev, throwing a wild right punch followed by a hook.
Though Yadullaev managed to avoid the first attacks, he eventually got taken down by a left kick to the body while trying to pull back.
The referee struggled to intervene, and it took the arrival of security at the cage to separate the two fighters.
Footage of the tumultuous scene quickly circulated online, astonishing MMA fans worldwide.
