Viacheslav Datsik
The world of fighting is a crazy place. Combat Sports have seen some of the wildest, deranged personalities step into the ring/octagon and participate in professional bouts. One such madman from Russia who managed to make a career out of fighting for most of his life is Viacheslav Datsik.

Who is the crazy Nazi Russian fighter?
Viacheslav Datisk was a phenomenal fighter in the ring and had a splendid career. His most noteworthy win came against future UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski in 1999. Since then he went on to fight for the next 7 years and continued to make a name for himself by attracting an audience for his crazy fighting style and his antics on stage. The Russian threw his fighting career under the bus when he was involved in a series of armed robberies in Russia’s capital.
The fighter openly admitted that his motivation behind the crime was race. Datsik was institutionalized and was locked up for years. The moment he was transferred to a comparatively less severe psych ward, Datsik broke free from the prison by breaking the fence. Viacheslav Datisk’s plan of action was to flee to Norway and announce himself as a “racist and not a nationalist” at the border control with neo-nazi symbols all over him in an attempt to set foot inside Norway. However, he was deported back to where he came from.
In 2012, Viacheslav Datisk was once again imprisoned for robbing and was finally released in 2016. This time, Datsik was part of the biggest controversy in Russia as he declared war on prostitutes. The fighter broke into a brothel and assaulted sex workers, claiming they spread diseases to white men of Russia. According to Lenta.Ru, the fighter was charged with hooliganism for his act at the brothel.
Red Tarzan’s return to fighting
After getting arrested multiple times, the fighter was out in 2019 from prison. But the Nazi Russian fighter could only stay out without committing a crime for only so long. In 2020, he decided to help a friend move to Estonia illegally which led to him being arrested once again. Viacheslav was released in 2021 and immediately called out an opponent to a fight.
The Nazi Russian fighter was booked for a bare-knuckle boxing match against Englishman Randy Randayn. It took Viacheslav only one round to get rid of his opponent inside the boxing ring on his return from prison. The fighter dropped an overhand right before he drained shots before his opponent’s corner called quits.
If Viacheslav Datisk decided to fight again, would you watch his fights? After reading the crazy life of this Russian wild-man, where does he rank in your list of craziest fighters to ever live?
