I’ve been a big kickboxing enthusiast since the glory days of K-1 (no pun intended) and I was so relieved when Glory emerged to fill the void left when K1 folded. Artem has been my favorite fighter in Glory since I first saw him, dude is a classically trained pianist and I notice a lot of aspects of music theory in his kickboxing style. It’s funny, I thought Artem should have won the first fight with Alex but then I thought he should have lost the rematch. So they are rightfully 1-1, each winning the match they should have lost. After the exposure Alex received from his UFC run and the knockout power he possesses being universally acknowledged it should stand to reason the level of impressiveness Artem displayed in going 10 full rounds against Alex and not hitting the ground at all.

it's the little things like going from "a new force had arrived in glory" to a shot of him walkin up to the ring with a shirt that says glory on it that make this channel so good 3:09

None of this shit works well in MMA unless you have sensational takedown defence. Izzy works well because he moves about really well and doesn't care to throw in big combos. And when he was in Glory, he was already starting to train MMA properly- made him that much better for his transition. I mean just see how Gokhan Saki floundered.

Dude throws his spinning backfist almost like a Tekken character: at a downward angle with his knuckles, rather than the horizontal hammerfist we tend to see.

@dvelasquez4556 literally no one gave him a chance to win if Jan chose to wrestle, instead he stuffed the takedowns and even got Jan in a guillotine for a minute. Not to mention Jan is the guy that beat adesanya first both on the feet and on the ground. Jan was the second worst match up for Alex besides ankalaev and he still won

Unfortunetly he lost his MMA debut to some Can due to a freak injury, they set him up against worst possible opponent they couldve found

@@davesmith826Not at all. He’s a Light Heavyweight, and if anything he will be fighting at 205 if he goes to the UFC. The light heavyweight division is 209 in Glory. Artem is already 32 years old and walks around well over 205. At that age weight cuts get harder, you won’t see him at 185.
