[In Russia.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7ZK1dig6CM) You’d think after the third fall, the guys in black would at least take their shoes off, if not change locations.

That was weird.

I have seen a lot of fights in my life but I have never really seen anyone go to punching that early when they aren’t really committed to the fight. Punch, punch, talk talk, push, talk, punch, splash, talk ,talk, punch, punch, splash, talk, talk, push, push, punch, splash, talk, talk, walk away. I just don’t understand Russian fight etiquette 😕

Punch, punch, talk talk, push, talk, punch, splash, **talk, splash splash, twist, flail, splash** ,talk, punch, punch, splash, talk, talk, push, push, punch, splash, talk, talk, walk away.

What you posted is how you order a plate pelmeni and olivie.

Yea, that was pretty weird. Unless I have the roles reversed, it looks like the security guys were the ones who threw the first punches.
