Viral MMA fighter ‘Bazooka Arms’ sees surgery to fix Vaseline filled biceps delayed due to COVID-19

Kirill Tereshin became internet famous after injecting his biceps with three litres of petroleum jelly (also known as Vaseline) with the intent of giving himself a swole look without having to lift a single weight. The effects of Tereshin’s home surgery lead to extreme swelling of his arms, earning him the nicknames ‘Bazooka Arms’, ‘Popeye’ and ‘Russian Hulk’.

Tereshin crossed over from meme to MMA fighter in 2019. That year he lost to Russian slapping champion Vasiliy ‘The Dumpling’ Kamotskiy and blogger/actor Oleg Mongol.

You can check out his fight with Mongol below, via RT Sport.
