And it was just Tuesday when MMAJunkie reported that Bellator scooped Rasul Mirzaev, a highly sought-after featherweight hailing from the land of Fedor. In fact, I casually scanned YouTube for evidence of this guy's MMA prowess while I was in stand-by purgatory at the DFW International Airport. Now Fighter's Only is reporting that roughly a few hours after his signing hit the MMA world, Rasul Mirzaev was involved in an altercation outside of a Moscow nightclub that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old student.

Today it was reported that Mirzaev is being accused by Moscow police of causing the death of a 19-year-old student in the Russian capital last week.

The student, Ivan Agafonov, was outside a popular Moscow nightclub with friends when the incident occurred. He had with him a radio-controlled toy car and apparently used it to strike up conversation with a woman of Mirzaev’s acquaintance.

A witness claims that when Agafonov jokingly offered the young woman “a lift” in his toy car, Mirzaev interjected. The two then exchanged words before Mirzaev allegedly kicked the toy car to pieces. He then apparently hit the young man one blow with his left hand.

Agafonov was dropped by the punch, which knocked him unconscious. He regained consciousness around 15 minutes later and was initially thought to be fine but then “began raving like a lunatic”. Several hours later, he lost consciousness again and lingered in a coma for four days before passing away on Wednesday.

Just a note for everyone out there who would prefer to get into a Street MMA exhibition match: Leave it to the idiots on YouTube. It can only result in a vortex of bad stuff. [Source]

why do they thumb you down ... btw the video is shitty cause according to the report the some of the security guys rerecorded it from security camera screen on their phone- if they didnt do it there would be no evidence left, since the dad of the student-guy decided to report to police after they deleted the original footage- so this vid is all they have ..apparently some particular part of the brain was destroyed

aaand now even more i think the kid had it coming he has a face of a stupid cunt who would do stupid shit like that, prob a rich daddy, but sadly for him not a mafia boss.

It's like EuroSport would promote football and then say "don't play football".

Agreed that this could be bad for the sport. But more than anything it's just sad and a reminder to only fight when there is no other option.
The fact that he only threw one punch is an indication he wasn't attempting to kill anyone. It's also possible there is more behind the altercation it then just a what was reported. Unless you personally know him or more about the situation you should hold your "violent asshole" judgement.

The boy died from impact he suffered when he fallen to the floor. Dont get me wrong he must go to jail for it. But it wasn't intentional judjing from reports. And boy was allegedly making passes on Rasul's girlfiend.

Send him to Russian prison forever. If not, hopefully he gets blacklisted from every promotion out there.

A fighter should learn to keep his cool in these kinds of situations unless physically attacked. Piece of shit.

i was just watching vid of people getting KOed- which led me to watch a vid about a guy who was killed with a similar blow to the head. Bottom line- there is a reason a boxer's hands are considered a deadly weapons. If you're a pro fighter who's tougher than 99% of the population- what are you trying to prove? Just dumb

As someone who had his share of russian street mma, the kid had it coming, the solemn fact he was talking to him before punching is already a courtesy from Rasul, i mean even if you dont know this particular guy, a 19 yr old student hitting on some broad which is with some guy from caucasus(i think you´d get similar reaction out of mexicans for reference), you better be son of some big mafia boss.

Stop calling him a murderer. Murder means he planned on killing the kid.It was very unfortunate that the guy died, however that doesn't mean you can put him in the same category as a murderer for throwing one damn punch.
