Video: UFC Fighters react to ‘MMA Football’ (Calcio Storico) feat. Elias Theodorou and Misha Cirkunov

In what is probably the last video in BE’s ‘UFC Fighters React’ series (for now), UFC middleweight Elias Theodorou and UFC light heavyweight Misha Cirkunov watched their weirdest clip yet.

In the video above, Theodorou and Cirkunov watch Calcio Storico (aka Calcio Fiorentino), which looks like a mix of team MMA and rugby football. The game dates back to 16th century Italy, but today’s version of the sport started in the 1930s. Nowadays only a couple of matches are played each year and it’s more a spectacle than it is a serious sporting event.
