A 40-year-old man killed in Dolgoprudny near Moscow, who previously worked as a cameraman at the Mosfilm film studio, turned out to be an MMA fighter.
This was told to REN TV by his friend and coach Anton.
According to him, Nikolai played as an amateur, but he was supposed to have a professional tournament in the very near future.
According to investigators, the 40-year-old man was attacked by two teenagers at the sports ground on East Street. The motive was personal hostility. One of the attackers knocked the victim to the ground, and the second began to beat him on the head with a knife. After the attack, they fled the scene, and a passer-by found the body of the victim.
