King of Kung Fu or King of Sanda. This is not only a fighting pseudonym, but also an official title, which perfectly reflects the real strength and merits of our today's hero in martial arts.
Muslim Salikhov is the most titled Wushu Sanda fighter in the world. An athlete from the famous school of the Five Directions of the World became the champion of Russia three times, twice the champion of Europe and won the title of world champion in this type of martial arts five times. In 2006, at the most prestigious international Wushu Sanda tournament for the title of King of Kung Fu, Muslim confidently defeated all his rivals and became the only fighter not from China, who won the honorary and coveted title.
In 2011, Salikhov began performing in mixed martial arts tournaments and after a couple of years he signed a contract with M-1 Global. Today we will watch a fight with his participation, which took place on November 30, 2013 in Tula at the M-1 Challenge 44 tournament.
Muslim's opponent was an Italian of Croatian origin, Filip Kotarlic, who was the champion of Italy in kickboxing and mixed martial arts. Philip approached his debut at the M-1 tournaments with a streak of three victories by knockout in a row and hoped to show his striking power in a fight with the legend of striking sports.
