Human and robot clashed in the octagon

An event dubbed "the first fight of a human against a terminator robot" took place in San Francisco.

Blogger Frankie Lapenna fought against a 183-centimeter-tall humanoid robot.

In the video circulated on social networks, the robot is seen knocking down the blogger with a single blow. According to reports, the blogger suffered a broken arm after receiving several heavy blows.

This fight was organized by the company REK (Robot Entertainment Kombat). The company is involved in developing robot fighting as an entertainment sport.

This robot, named EngineAI T800, which resembles the famous "Terminator" in appearance, costs around $100,000. It is noted that the robots participating in REK fights are not autonomous; they are controlled by an operator.
