A fighter who has become the embodiment of an uncompromising striking style. One of the most aggressive and spectacular fighters in the history of mixed martial arts and K-1 tournaments. He always sought to destroy his opponent and was ready to fight with absolutely anyone. He won 29 out of 32 by knockout, became the champion of Cage Rage and Showtime, fought with real legends, and eventually became one himself. Although he still performs.
Today we will talk about the famous Dutch fighter Melvin Manhoef, nicknamed “Ruthless”. Who, even now at 45 years old, is ready to give any opponent a hard time and very soon will have another fight in the Bellator promotion cage.
Well, we will go back 19 years to watch the fight with the participation of the Dutchman, which took place in St. Petersburg, at the “Russia against the World 5” tournament under the auspices of the M-1 promotion. Melvin’s opponent was Alexander Garkushenko, who had a good base in judo and sambo. Three years after this meeting, Alexander successively won the title of vice-champion, and then the world champion in combat sambo, after which he changed his profession and became an actor, starring in more than 20 domestic films and TV series.
