Saw some footage of him some years back at Yokkao as well, training with Saenchai. So guess he has been doing this for a while.

Some nice fights you are mentioning there. Hippolyte beating Jomhod Kiatadisak in his prime, by KO, is also one of the fights I remember..

As a Dutch, started training in 1996, I do think that the whole kickboxing scene changed significantly in those 26 years. Up until 2005 or so, in NL we used to fight under kickboxing/ modified MT rules, including clinching, Thai music, etc. The years after that it changed rapidly.. 5 round...

These fighters are "owned" like cattle.

You are a "PRO" and you are asking for advise.. Just being plain honest here for your sake only. You would get mauled by novice fighters from my gym. Not sure what the rules in your country are w/r to progressing to a professional level. But this is far from professional and you will get hurt...

A semi big event, think Bregy fought there too. Can't remember too much of it. In that era there were a lot of events weekly in the Netherlands. Most events with 1 - 3 A-class fights.

Ha great. I fought at the same event where he fought against Mrabet.

Looks solid but, from what I see, pretty straight forward. So needs some development. In all honesty, these 'world' titles don't mean sh!t. Wonder how he would deal with real opposition.. but he definitely looks like a talented guy who deserves a chance.

Looks like a good local talent. And world titles in kickboxing hold no value at all. There are literally 100's of kickboxing organizations...

The best Dutch kickboxer turned boxer has to be Nordin Ben Salah, nicknamed Fighting Nordin, 36-2-0 in boxing. The guy was a real bad ass and won some smaller titles, WBU & WBA inter-continental. Unfortunately he was machine gunned down some 16-17 years ago.

Yousri Belgaroui is 2-0 with his third fight next week at UAE Warriors in Abu Dhabi.

LOL!! C Class don’t get paid. B Class: win 150€, lose 100€ A Class: 350€ and up. But it is also trend that fighters don’t get paid and get a number of tickets from the promotor which they need to sell themselves. Kickboxing in Holland is for fun, not to make a living of (with some exceptions).

Well I was live at his first pro MMA fight in 1999. The same event where Rob Kaman ended his career against Ignashov. So it is +20 years

Disagree. Look at ONE Championship or MAX Muay Thai where they fight KB and MT with mma gloves. The UFC has never seen a legit MT fighter.. take a Dejdamrong in ONE for example.

Most of the professional kickboxers I know all have a full time or part time job next to their kickboxing careers. You cannot live from the payouts, unless you are a top tier fighter (or just lucky to get a good contract..). Here in Holland the average A-class fighter gets paid anything between...

W/R to Souter, this includes his “fights” as a youth as well (fully geared up sparring). A lot of fighters use these fights to boost their records. For instance Bulaid who has a 150+ fight record of which more than a 100 are youth fights.

Around 13:00 Dutch time. I'll try to get a stream working at work then :) Regilio vd Ent, he is fighting in the 75kg tournament

My team mate has to fight on 78. Does that start at 15:00 as well?

Wow, looking at these prices... Really expensive! Glad that I live in the Netherlands. I pay 35$/month for unlimited training. But in all fairness.. that’s cheap for Dutch standards. I don’t train at one of the famous Dutch gyms but a smaller mid level gym. However, more important, my sparring...

Olando Wiet is actually Dutch :)
