MMA fight in Russia descended into a mass brawl after masked men stormed the cage the insane bout was taking place in.Epic Fighting Championship organised the unusual handicap fight, with the card full of other bizarre match-ups, in addition to the two-on-one.The bout saw lean duo Vladislav Popov and Ramzan Amsadoev go up as a tag-team against slower and pudgier fighter Vitaly Bykov, who took on the pair by himself.As could have been entirely predicted, the tag-team quickly overwhelmed Bykov, who faced a volley of strikes from his opponents, though he was somehow able to survive the furious onslaught.Despite being outnumbered, Bykov was even able to secure a take down on Amsadoev, though that was a rare highlight for the one-man team.The fight was soon grounded, and with Bykov caught in a guillotine, Popov began pounding his helpless opponent on the back of the head.With Bykov unable to escape those punches, one of his team climbed into the cage and began to attack Popov.That sparked chaos as members from both corners followed them and started trading blows with a mass brawl erupting.Who is the best MMA fighter of all time?
