Pensioner, 75, and grandson, 18, take on female fighter in two-on-one fight

02/09/2022

Russia's Epic Fighting Championship pitted a 75-year-old pensioner and his 18-year-old grandson against a 28-year-old woman in an outrageous fight yesterday.

Yulia Mishko, 28, known by her nickname 'the Tomboy' squared off in a controversial two-on-one bareknuckle fight with Big Igibob and his granddad Vladimir Spartak.

The collective age of the male team was more than triple Mishko's, and it went the full three-round distance, with each round taking three minutes.

Spartak, who claims to have fought in the Vietnam war, had never fought before, nor had his grandson.

The bout appeared to take place under MMA rules, with the trio wearing small MMA gloves and ground-and-pound seemingly being allowed by the referee.

Igibob looked to be channeling his inner 6ix9ine, donning a similar hairstyle and tattoo set to the infamous American rapper whose real name is Daniel Hernandez.

But he didn't seem interested in taking the fight to his female opponent, with his grandfather taking most of the risks throughout the early stages of the contest.

The youngster appeared to slip while running away from a Mishko punch at one point, while Spartak was dealt a number of big shots by the big female fighter.

It was the second round when Mishko began to take hold, dropping both men within seconds of the beginning of the two-minute period.

She landed a big one-two on the grandfather sending him stumbling to the canvas, before an uppercut sent his grandson to the floor, where she attempted some ground-and-pound before Spartak came back.

And while many would think that a fight between two men and a woman may be unfair in the males' favour, it was actually the 75-year-old who took the most damage in the contest.

He was rocked with a big right hand early in the third before being dropped again, while Mishko took next to no damage over the duration of the six-round contest.

Even her corner had to stifle a laugh between rounds, with one coach offering very serious advice while the other struggled to hold in her giggles.

Inexplicably, the fight was scored a draw, despite the two men landing almost no offence between them and being dropped a collective three times by clean shots.

Spartak appeared to admit after the fight in his interview that by round three he had given up on winning the bout, and was simply looking to show his spirit by going the distance.

Epic Fighting Championships are known for putting on 'freak show fights', with the youngster arguing that their contest was one of the best in the promotion's history.

Despite their dismal showing and inability to find a win in their debut, the grandfather and son duo vowed to fight again in a post-fight interview.
