Amar Suloev... A man of tragic fate and a fighter of incredible talent. Along with the Emelianenko brothers, Roman Zentsov, Andrey Semenov and Ibragim Magomedov, he was a superstar in the early 2000s. A striker of incredible power, perfectly trained in combat. He went to Brazil and beat local stars on their own field. He became a Valetudo champion in fights that seemed to have no rules at all. He was the first to perform the same painful hold with which, 17 years later, Zabit Magomedsharipov would delight the entire fighting world. Amar fought in the UFC on equal terms with the top Chuck Lidell, competed in Pride and it seemed that there were never unspectacular fights in his career. He was a real warrior who knew no fear and was loved by the audience.
Today we will see one of the most famous knockouts performed by him, which will later be repeatedly included in a variety of highlights. It happened on April 27, 2001 at the very first legendary tournament of the M-1 Russia series against the whole world.
Amar's opponent was a truly tough fighter. Pedro Otavio Caesar was an active special forces soldier, a champion of several Valetudo tournaments and had impressive dimensions, being a head taller than Amar and ten kilograms heavier than him. This was not the first time he came to Russia and was remembered by our fans for his performances at the M-1 World Championship a year earlier. There, the Brazilian put on a real show, managing to troll his opponent and blow kisses to the audience right during the fight. And this was many years before such behavior became a trend and then the Brazilian was well remembered and everyone was waiting for this battle.
