'Waiting for an invitation!' Russian Slap Champion 'Dumpling' ready for UFC call out from Dana White
Vasily 'Dumpling' Khamotskiy is "waiting for an invitation" from Dana White after the UFC head honcho announced he wanted to take the Russian 'Slapping Champion' onto the organization's Fight Pass streaming service.
Khamotskiy shot to viral fame after footage of his KO victories on his way to winning the inaugural Russian Slapping Championships at the Siberian Strength Show 2019 held in his native Siberia, which was later retweeted by UFC commentator Joe Rogan.

What followed was calls for the new hardcore Russian sport to be entered into the Olympic Games and further videos of the 6ft 3in, 370lbs Khamotskiy defending his champion title in similar devastating fashion.
A new wave of attention focussed on the simple farmer from the quiet village of Ilyansky in Siberia, whose nickname stems from his animalistic appetite and penchant for the Russian national delicacies, known as 'pelmeni'.
