The Russian capital, Moscow, witnessed a remarkable fight in mixed martial arts (MMA), bringing together rapper Dmitry Gusakov, known as "Goddy," and former Russian national team player Fyodor Kudryashov.
The confrontation took place yesterday, Tuesday, as part of an event organized by the Fight Nights organization, and witnessed a decisive end in the second round, after the 30-year-old Gusakov delivered a powerful kick to his opponent’s head, knocking him to the ground unable to get up, which prompted the referee to stop the fight and declare the singer the winner by knockout.
This is the first fight for the 39-year-old Kudryashov, after he ended his football career in February 2024, which included several stints, most notably playing for clubs such as Spartak Moscow, Rostov, Krasnodar, Rubin Kazan and Sochi, in addition to his experience with Turkish club Antalyaspor between 2020 and 2023.
During his international career, Kudryashov played 48 matches for the Russian national team, scoring one goal and providing one assist, before embarking on this new experience which ended in a heavy defeat in his first appearance.
