pop-MMA.The main event of their latest show in Russia was an eventful showing between porn star Alexandra Piskun and controversial television personality Gogen Solntsen - and it lived up to the bizarre nature of the company.Pop-MMA began in the country in 2019, and consists of fights between non-professional athletes.Furthermore, most of the participants had never had the benefit of MMA coaching or any other fighting training.
