Wanderlei Silva and Mairbek Taisumov victorious!
The past two weekends have been impressively busy with MMA Spirit fighters entering the ring all around Europe to capture 11-2 wins in total!
But it have also been close friends of the “Spirit” to enter the cage and ring- both of them reigning supreme with second round knockouts.
After his sensational mma seminar at MMA Spirit this summer- it was “The Axe Murderers” time to enter the Octagon once again. He faced the always tough Cung Le in the Co-Main event of UFC 139.
Both fighters meant business but it was Wand who took his chances in the second round to end the fight with a stunning KO victory as he punished Le with devastating knees to the face.
Wand has been in touch with Frankfurt´s MMA Spirit ever since having left Germany and he decided to put on the MMA Spirit logo on his walk-in shirt and banner!
Congratulations and a big thanks for the cooperation Wand and Rob!
It has been our close friend Mairbek Taisumov who entered the ring a day later in M-1´s “battle of legends” event where Daniel was able to capture the lightweight championship with a stunning KO.
Mairbek faced the US American fighter Joshua Thorpe and made it an entertaining first round when he was able to secure his opponent´s back at the end of the first round- not being able to finish the fight with a rear naked choke though.
“Beckan” decided to up the pace of the fight in the second round and was able to secure a double leg takedown and finishing the fight with hard ground and pound!
Both teams celebrated their victories together and are looking forward to be training together sometime soon!
