A Russian bodybuilder with 24-inch biceps known as ‘Popeye’, entered an MMA bout this week, but he failed to emulate his fellow Russian MMA superstars. He was finished in just three minutes of the first round by a fighter 20 years older than he was.<\/p>\n

Popeye, whose real name is Kirill Tereshin, injected synthol oil into his arms to enhance his biceps.\u00a0He entered the ring to fight Oleg Mongol at a gym in Abakan, Russia. According to reports, Mongol is a blogger who wrote about Tereshin in a post.<\/a> The 23-year responded by agreeing to fight the older opponent.<\/p>\n

Tereshin started the fight by swinging some wild punches. Some managed to land and the and he even managed to knock his rival down<\/a>. However, his opponent fired back with a successful takedown and earned the win via tapout.<\/p>\n
