Two MMA fighters shocked fans after a usually intense pre-fight face-off was less aggressive and more lovey as they shared a kiss. Face-offs are normally intimidating affairs as the fighters that are set to do battle attempt to get in their opponent's mind and instill some fear. Sometimes these exchanges can get quite heated if somebody makes a sudden move and a scuffle breaks out before the fighters have even made it to the ring or cage. On this occasion, however, it was less aggressive and more passionate as the two fighters shared a quick kiss and a laugh together.

While taking to the stage in Prague, the fighters put their heads together and Denisa leaned in for a kiss - luckily for her, the attraction was mutual as Karina reciprocated before grabbing her opponent's face and planting a kiss on her cheek. It's clear that the display of affection left a lasting impression on Denisa as she shared a clip to her Instagram page where she dubbed it "my favorite moment of this whole crazy journey". Despite having a good time, Denisa lost the fight while Karina and Inked Dory won the battle between the models. Karina, who is an OnlyFans model, also shared the clip on her Instagram as the kiss left a lasting impression on both of the competitors. The model also shared images of the fight where she seemed overjoyed that she won in what she described as "a very powerful moment". [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/Cps4NSEtN3Z/]] "I have very strong emotions since yesterday. Winning is a great satisfaction for me! We put everything into the preparations and the match itself," Karina began. "A person who has never faced his opponent in the ring can hardly imagine how difficult it is. A very powerful moment! We left our hearts in there." Fans of the model rushed to the comments to share their thoughts on the fight, with one person commenting: "Beautiful fight Karin, you are in great shape, you were unstoppable, congratulations." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263201507" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-20-at-11.19.37.png" alt="" width="1195" height="161" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] In reference to the pre-match kiss, many questioned why we don't see more of this before two fighters attempt to beat each other up, with someone adding: "That's sportsmanship right there." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263201508" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/03/Screenshot-2023-03-20-at-11.24.31.png" alt="" width="773" height="126" />[[imagecaption|| Credit: Instagram]] It was a great display of love before they attempted to beat each other up - will we see more of this before fights? <h6>Featured image credit: Владимир Щербак / Alamy</h6>
