The conflict between the parties began in March this year, when Shtyrkov called his possible confrontation with Datsik “vomit”.

– Aren’t you tired of the questions about Datsik? Can you really fight him to close the topic?

Shtyrkov, 34, has 22 wins, two losses and a draw in MMA. The last fight listed in Sherdog was in December 2022. In 2023, Shtyrkov lost to Magomed Ismailov in March under boxing rules, and in May he defeated Pyotr Romankevich in a duel under kickboxing rules.
