Female MMA fighter absolutely demolishes male opponent nearly four times her size

A female MMA fighter has shocked the internet by demolishing a male opponent nearly four times her size at a fight in Russia.

Professional MMA fighter Darina Madzyuk who weighs just 139 pounds (63kgs) was put against YouTuber Grigory Chistyakov, who weighs in at a staggering 529 pounds (239kgs) for an exhibition clash that was dubbed "Our Business".

And despite Madzyuk's comparatively tiny size, she took down Chistyakov without a problem.

Chistyakov began by attempting to bear hug his smaller opponent, but his sheer size meant that he was unable to get far and allowed her to put her superior striking to good use.

When the pair were separated by the referee, Madzyuk began to use her mixed martial arts skills to her advantage and started giving Chistyakov some devastating blows to the head.

Chistyakov was floored by a well-timed right hand and following a struggle on the floor, the fight was eventually waved off by the referee.

Fans took to social media to share footage of the mismatched fight, and they weren't sure exactly what to make of it.

One YouTube user wrote: "MMA? I thought it was the start of a strange BDSM movie."

A second questioned the legitimacy of the footage, writing: "No .. staged. All he had to do was grab her and fall on top. She would be dead. Hell, I would be dead. [sic]"

Meanwhile, an impressed fan wrote: "Easily Fight of the Year."

However, while some praised the event, not everyone reacted so positively, including UFC referee Marc Goddard.

It's not known what MMA promotion the pair were fighting for.

"This is what we are dealing with in 2020," Goddard said, per MMA Fighting. "This is what we are fighting against as the parallels and negative connotations are continually drawn.

"To outsiders and detractors, this is MMA. Shameful. Sickening. Abysmal."

But regardless of Goddard's displeasure, the event certainly made for interesting viewing for fans of MMA, especially as such dramatic weight differences have not been seen since weight classes were introduced back in 1997.
