The Spanish fighter Joel Alvarez Gonzalez bears the nickname “El Fenomen” for a reason, because he has 19 early victories in mixed martial arts and 16 of them were obtained by various painful and suffocating techniques. The champion of his country in grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he has been quite successful in the UFC for the last three years, having won 4 victories in 6 fights there.
But the real kryptonite for the Spanish phenomenon are the fighters who came out of Russian mixed martial arts. He lost only to Damir Ismagulov and Arman Tsarukyan, easily dealing with all other opponents.
And today we will see the only fight of the Spaniard, which took place in Russia. It happened in 2015 at the M-1 Challenge 56 tournament. The opponent of Joel, who did not know defeat, was the champion of Russia, Europe and the world in wushu-sanda Ali Abdulkhalikov, who at that time had only his second professional fight. Spectators expected a classic confrontation between a wrestler and a drummer.
