Spanish fighter Joel Alvarez Gonzalez is not without reason nicknamed “El Fenomen“, because he has 19 early victories in mixed martial arts, 16 of which were achieved using various painful and chokeholds. The champion of his country in grappling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, he has been quite successful in the UFC for the last three years, having won 4 of 6 fights there. But the real kryptonite for the Spanish phenomenon are the fighters who came out of Russian mixed martial arts. He lost only to Damir Ismagulov and Arman Tsarukyan, having easily dealt with all other opponents. And today we will watch the only fight of the Spaniard, which took place in Russia. This happened in 2015 at the M-1 Challenge 56 tournament. The opponent of the undefeated Joel was the champion of Russia, Europe and the world in wushu-sanda Ali Abdulkhalikov, who at that time was only holding his second professional fight. The audience was in for a classic confrontation between a wrestler and a striker. #Knockout #Fight #UFC
