The heavyweights had an intense face-to-face confrontation ahead of their upcoming main event at Ural FC 2 in Samara, Russia. Gerônimo dos Santos and Vyacheslav Datsik are determined to keep up their winning streaks, making the stakes high for their clash this Saturday.
During the media week, dos Santos and Datsik had an opportunity to engage in psychological warfare by facing each other in a heated stare-down. Both were vocal and expressive, and their face-off quickly turned into a scream-filled clash.
dos Santos and Datsik are not the only men to have unusual faceoffs before their matches. The UFC vet Mike Perry was known for his mid-staredown outbursts during his time in the promotion. However, the recent faceoff between dos Santos and Datsik was particularly intense and is now viral.
dos Santos is no stranger to the MMA scene, having competed in mid-tier promotions like M-1 and ACA. He most recently won a unanimous decision in his bout in February, making him a tough opponent for Datsik.
Datsik, on the other hand, made his professional MMA debut in 1999 at the M-1 World Championship, where he defeated the former UFC champ Andrei Arlovski with a vicious punch. Datsik has also competed in boxing and MMA in recent years, making him a versatile athlete.
Datsik last made news for his well publicized match and rematch with Alexander Emelianenko.
Vyacheslav Datsik made headlines last month when he knocked out Alexander Emelianenko in just 13 seconds. Despite his impressive kickboxing record, Datsik’s MMA career has been less successful, with only six wins and nine losses.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this heavyweight showdown, and the viral faceoff will undoubtedly help attract more viewers to the event.
