Mixed martial arts career
Zentsov is part of the Red Devil Sport Club (team) and has trained extensively with Fedor Emelianenko, PRIDE's Heavyweight champion since he joined the group in 2005. In 2007 Fedor began to also spar heavily with young heavyweight Kirill Sidelnikov, while Roman has trained in St. Petersburg primarily over the past couple years. Roman's head coach is a Muay Thai champion Ruslan Nagnibeda.

Personal life
Zensov hopes to unite all radical Russian right-wing organizations under the banner of one nationalist movement, mobilize the Russian nation on the basis of having external enemies, and to create a national-socialist state. Through his organization, Soprotivlenie ("Resistance"), Zentsov has been known to promote sports as a means of fighting alcoholism, while at the same time being a means of recruiting individuals into right-wing nationalist organizations, such as Demunshkin's SS.

His upper left arm has a tattoo of the kanji words "宮本武蔵" (the samurai warrior Miyamoto Musashi).
