Viacheslav Datsik: Interview in Cuffs

Well, given how this guy behaved in the ring, it's not terribly surprising that we eventually get to see him in handcuffs. I actually expected him to be in a straightjacket and much sooner...

The interview is in Russian, which I don't speak, so I can't personally confirm what is being said. But popular opinion among those who have claimed to translate the interrogation is that he is voicing some racial motivations for the incidents that led to his being shackled, among other examples of Datsik-esque violent weirdness.

Anyway, the guy is a character and one of the most bizarre personalities in the history of MMA. Even without understanding the words (and without the benefit of the creative editing) it is reasonably apparent that there's a screw loose somewhere.



It's a shame that his reckless abandon in the ring seems to be unable to exist without several destructive root causes that constantly rear their heads.

All of that said, it's probably a safe bet that we'll see him in the ring with Kimbo Slice one of these days.
