STRELKA / STREET BEEFS / Online Street Fight League megathread

STRELKA Megathread​

Strelka was started in the summer of 2011 in St. Petersburg. They are an organization that host fights across Russia. Only amateurs and semi-professionals are allowed to fight and after a careful analysis of the fighter's capabilities, Strelka will form pairs of approximately equal strength. Men of different ages and social groups participate in the battles, which gives the project a truly popular and democratic character.

There are some skilled match-ups but there are also people who seem to just fight out the crowd. Fights can be stand-up only or full MMA. Some fighters have fought multiple times with Strelka too.



If you find any gems on their channel post them here!

It is but because of its format of being non-professionals and them hosting their events in urban streets etc. I'm gonna keep it here for now.

 

Damn, right on the chin.

 

Yeah haha

 

Anybody watch Strelka Street Fight Championship?

I have to admit I'm embarrassed I didn't think of this idea first. A fight league geared towards YouTube views and monetization. Very little investment capital required. No red tape with sanctioning bodies. Channel is 7 years old.

These fighters were surprisingly more solid in the fundamentals than I expected. I really appreciate the laid back ref. A lot of boxing and kickboxing refs could learn from his hands off approach, and the laxity they've adopted here towards tie-ups in the clinch.

I posted this one because I noticed Johnny Walker casually walking around in the crowd. At one point he gets up really close behind one corner where the two are tied up, and is filming with his phone in one hand while covering his nuts with the other.

I also really appreciate the source quality of the video. The raw file was obviously shot with respectable equipment, and properly compressed to [email protected] It's amazing how much video quality contributes to the pleasure of watching a fight like this. I'm used to garbage, grainy video for these YouTube brawlers with undersaturated color and weak framerates. Somebody is showing their product some real love. You can see how far the production value has come since they started the channel:




*Edit* I was digging through deleted threads looking for a great old fight for the trained vs. untrained fighters thread, one that probably got lost due to a mass delete triggered for a banned spam user, @Inverse, when I noticed you had this old Strelka thread predating my own. I merged it, and pasted my online street league index into your OP.
