The brave act of Andrei Orlovsky commands respect. He punished hooligans and set an example for his son.
Mixed martial arts fighter Andrei Orlovsky is one of the main watchmen of MMA. The athlete began his career in the last century. During this time, Pitbull had many iconic fights and even became the UFC heavyweight champion.
Now Orlovsky is already 43 years old, but he still performs in the strongest promotion on the planet. The fighter ended 2022 on a minor note, losing in the last fight. Andrey met the New Year with a brilliant victory, but he did it not in the octagon.
The athlete heroically stood up for the girl, severely punishing the hooligans.
UFC legend
Andrey Orlovsky recently became the main veteran of the UFC. After Francisco Trinaldo left the organization, there were no fighters older than the Belarusian in the roster. Pitbull is 43 years old, but he continues to be in fantastic shape, regularly appearing in the octagon.
Behind the athlete more than 50 fights. The fighter began his career back in 1999, and in 2005 he won the UFC championship belt. In October last year, Orlovsky met with the Brazilian Marcus Rogerio de Lima. Pitbull approached this fight on a series of four victories. Many people started talking about the return of the legendary fighter, but Andrei failed to resist the Brazilian, losing by choke hold.
“He hit a woman”
So far, Orlovsky has not announced his retirement. He is still under contract with the UFC. Of course, his best years are already behind him, but he can still create problems for many opponents in the “cage”.
True, Andrei is famous not only for fights in the octagon, but also for brawls outside of it. So, the athlete earned a broken nose not in battle, but in a fight that took place in a restaurant.
– The wrestlers were sitting, drinking or celebrating something, preparing for something. When they were already drunk, they started showing throws, ”says Orlovsky. — I made a remark. There, one 40-kilogram drisch was offended, left, then kicked him from the back, – Andrey told about the fracture.
The New Year was also not without adventures for the fighter. While communicating with fans on social networks, Orlovsky shared with the audience a story that happened to him during the holidays.
– I had a good New Year’s Eve. But here in London there was a conflict with refugees. I didn’t want to fight, but I had to show my son that shit happens. In fact, the guy was not alone, there were three of them. But I wouldn’t call him a guy or a man, because he beat a woman, ”Telecom Asia quoted Orlovsky as saying.
“One guy ran away, the other had blood on his face. When the cops came, I saw that he had blood all over his face and hands. So my dad won the fight, the son of the fighter added.
Orlovsky’s act commands respect. He not only stood up for the woman, but also set an example for his 10-year-old son. In addition, there is no doubt that the hooligans beaten by Andrey will remember the meeting with the former UFC champion for a long time and next time they will think hard before attacking the defenseless in front of the whole people.

Olympic champion and former interim WBA super featherweight champion Albert Batyrgaziev decided to take a break from his professional career.
At the beginning of July in Istanbul at the “IBA.PRO 8” tournament, Batyrgaziev lost early to the British James Dickens and lost the IBA.PRO champion and interim WBA champion titles in the second featherweight division. For the 27-year-old Russian, this was the first defeat in his professional career.
— I want to tell you honestly about my plans. Many people ask about their future career. Now I have decided to take a conscious break from my professional career. For me, boxing has been and remains a huge part of my life. Therefore, this choice is now very difficult. My whole sports life has been a race to the top: four Russian championships, an Olympic medal in Tokyo and then turning professional, where I went undefeated.
The last fight on July 2 was a turning point for me. The first defeat made me look at many things differently. I thank Allah for the trials and mercies that helped me become a better person. Since I have always felt a responsibility not only in the ring, but also before society, now is the time to become more active in projects that I have long planned, for example, supporting the development of sports infrastructure in my native regions. This doesn’t mean I’m saying goodbye to the ring. I remain an active boxer. But now all my work is outside of it. I thank everyone for their incredible support along this path: both in moments of triumph and in moments of challenge. She gives strength. I promise this new chapter will be just as honest and purposeful. I’m not saying goodbye, I’m just saying “goodbye,” Batyrgaziev wrote in the Telegram channel.
Batyrgaziev won gold in the weight category up to 57 kg at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. In the professional ring he has 12 wins and one loss.
