In the early days of mixed martial arts, fights very often took place when one opponent was very much superior to the other in size, weight category and strength. We have shown such fights more than once, for example, a very popular video about Igor Vovchanchyn, who literally beat three giants in one tournament.
Today we will be transported to 1999, in Holland, where the Rings 8 tournament, which bore the impressive name “Kings of the Magic Ring”, took place. There were a lot of very interesting fights, which we will definitely touch on, but one caught my special attention and I want to share it with you.
The first to enter the ring was Reynaldo Reyhoff, who had his second professional fight in mixed martial arts and was presented as a former Dutch boxing champion.
But as a rival, he just got a huge tattooed fellow with the look of a serial maniac and very impressive dimensions. His name was Rick Holzesen, but as for his merits, the ring announcer was extremely brief, presenting him as a personal bodyguard. The truth is not specified – whose exactly.
