What happens if one of the most promising young fighters in Russia, hitherto undefeated and with an excellent track record, meets the most outrageous athlete from Western Europe in battle? Fans received the answer to this question on October 28, 2010, at the M-1 Challenge 21 tournament, when Alexander “Tiger” Sarnavsky fought against Victor “Tiger” Kuku!
At the time of the fight, Alexander Sarnavsky had a remarkable record of 10 victories in 10 fights, and among other things, he is a student of Alexander Shlemenko. A bright all-rounder with good technique. Only two of his fights went to decision; in the other 8, he split his victories evenly between knockouts and chokes.
Dutchman Victor Kuku with all his fights proves the fact that mixed martial arts is not only a great sport, but also a great show. Like a true actor, he does everything first of all for the audience, and then for himself. He gives a performance as soon as he enters the fight and does not finish it until he leaves the stage, the role of which is played by the ring. Those who have seen his fights will confirm this. Showmanship at the expense of efficiency, spectacle comes first - these are the principles that guide the Dutchman. Few people in modern MMA will avoid a pass to the legs with a somersault through an opponent, but not Victor! He will take a risk and either lose or receive recognition from the audience! The most incredible acrobatics, knockouts from a knee jump, an uncompromising exchange of blows with the enemy - that’s what Victor Cucu is!
Two cool young and ambitious fighters: an invincible technician and a showman, a Russian and a Dutchman, excellent drummers, each of whom burns with an insatiable thirst for victory!
