This is an English forum. Better to post on Mixfight if you're looking for Dutch people and want to post in Dutch. That said, just go to a camp and you'll make friends within a day.

For Dutch kickboxing I would say that Robin van Roosmalen and Chahid Oulad el Hadj are stereotypical fighters of that style. If we go back further in time Rob Kaman really represented the style as he was called Mr. Low Kick. But there is also not one Dutch kickboxing style. Every fighter has...

It's always the brawlers who don't last long. They're exciting to watch but take so much damage that they have to retire young. It's exactly the opposite of what you want to do at an older age. Not what you are looking for, but can be a good reminder of what can happen if you have the "wrong"...

I wouldn't downplay the links between kickboxing and crime too much though. There is the famous case of Andre Brilleman in the 80s, who was found with his dick and his legs cut off while he was still alive. They then put his body parts in a steel drum filled with concrete which was dumped in the...

I agree that I might be influenced by recency bias and his dominance during the fight. It's not only his style but a combination of his physique, coming into his prime and his fighting style indeed. The guy is strong as hell too and super dry. I'm wondering if he can have the same impact at...

I really feel like Allazov's style is the next step in kickboxing. It's more fluid, agile and unpredictable than what we've seen before. He switches stances easily, creates angles, and catches his opponents off guard with unconventional strikes. The last 15 years we saw fighters using tactics...

Based on the posts on social media it looks like he's sparring more than he used to at Mike's Gym. That's exactly what he needs. He needs to get used to getting kicked and punched again to prepare his body for the fight. Before you could only see him lifting weights and sometimes hitting pads...

Chakuriki fighters were always seen as fighters with mediocre technique, but a big heart. Mejiro and Vos Gym fighters were much more technical.

I loved Kyshenko when he came up. Super talented and technical fighter. I think he also participated in IFMA and IAMTF championships in Bangkok. He had a more Thai style back then and used lots of sweeps. Very entertaining to watch. Then he went to Mike's Gym and the same thing happened to him...

It says muay thai in MMA gloves, but I have a hard time believing that Nieky accepted to fight full muay thai rules

Badr can only fight 1.5 round nowadays before he gasses or injures himself. Hope Benjamin keeps his cool and fights intelligently.

Nice to see Thais fight each other outside the stadiums. Will probably have a better pace and no feeling each other out for 2 rounds before they start.

What a bunch of BS that this suddenly turned into a title fight. Glory doesn't even take their own ranking seriously. Badr doesn't deserve a title shot. He lost his previous fight. Then tested positive for doping and now he gets a title shot.

I personally don't like his style at all. I think it's detrimental to many fighters. In Badr's case I think a trainer who would keep him calmer instead of super aggressive before the fight would have benefited him. He fucked up so many times because of the rage in his head. He probably would...

Haven't been here in months, but nothing has changed. Broadcast still trying to make Romania happen <45>

I don't think Petrosyan is overrated at all. I think throughout his career he has been massively underrated by most kickboxing fans. In The Netherlands many people didn't like his style, because he's not the typical aggressive Dutch kickboxer. They were always discrediting him by saying he was...

Saiyok had that crazy killer look in his eyes during his prime.

Petchdam doesn't deserve that fight. He should have lost vs Mahmoudi. He was behind on points and then kicks him in the balls. Mahmoudi couldn't continue and Petchdam gets the win :/

That's Namsaknoi, a legendary muay thai fighter from the 90s and 2000s. Was fighting for the same camp as Buakaw.

Said El Badaoui has his own gym in Utrecht and has been teaching at El Otmani in Amsterdam.
