Russia are as … well, hardcore as they as they sound, and MMA stars getting into bizarre pre-fight scraps with each other there is nothing new - but things really got out of hand when Magomed Zaynalov and Anatoliy Nadratovsky came face-to-face this week.Everything kicked off when Zaynalov decided to headbutt Nadratovsky before the two started absolutely wailing on each other with a sequence of rapid and furious punches.Nadratovsky then attempted to kick his opponent before falling away from the stage, as a fuming Zaynalov set off in pursuit.Members of both men's entourages, as well as security staff, stepped in to break the fighters up, but Zaynalov and Nadratovsky were desperate to keep brawling. At one point Nadratovsky pretends that he'd calmed down so that the security staff released him, before immediately sprinting across the room towards Zaynalov and throwing another flurry of punches.What's the craziest thing you've ever seen at an MMA event? Let us know in the comments section belowThe heat between them eventually simmered after a minute or so once both fighters were forcibly restrained and made to sit down - but the craziness wasn't over yet.One of Zaynalov's team snuck up behind an exhausted Nadratovsky and - despite the fact everyone had calmed down at this point - decided to put him in possible the worst-looking choke-hold ever attempted, before being casually swatted away by a security guard.By the end, both fighters were sporting nasty bruises and black eyes on their faces.
