Unbeaten MMA fighter Dmitriy Sosnovskiy has reportedly landed eight-and-a-half years in a maximum security penal colony after being found guilty of forming part of a gang who are said to have kidnapped and choked a businessman.
Heavyweight Sosnovskiy, 31, was one of five men named in a statement by the Moscow prosecutor's office reported by
R-Sport, which said that the one-time UFC star had been part of a gang who pushed the man into a car, took him to an office and threatened to murder him.
The criminals have reportedly been given between four and nine-and-a-half years behind bars, with two allowed to serve in a general regime penal colony.
The businessman reportedly escaped and went to the police when the accomplices left the office.
The account said that the dispute centered on a sum of around $3,800 which the gang believed was due to them.
Student of Boa Constrictor. For 3,800$ gets almost 9 years. What a dumbass.
