At the dawn of his career, many called Kirill Sidelnikov the successor to Fedor Emelianenko. And such advances were clearly not given out of nowhere. Kirill is now a 6-time world champion and 7-time European champion in combat sambo. And many years ago, already at the age of 19, he made his debut in the professional arena of mixed martial arts and in 19 seconds knocked out his opponent with a high kick.
At the age of 20, Kirill was included in the Russian national team based on the Red Devil club, which participated in the first ever mixed martial arts world team championship M-1 Challenge in 2007. In the very first fight against the Polish legionnaire of the French team, Sidelnikov created one of the most memorable knockouts in the history of mixed martial arts, which still collects millions of views all over the Internet.
Well, then his team had a meeting with the US team and the young Russian athlete was confronted by the American heavyweight James Jack, who was clearly larger and more powerful than our fighter, and had a powerful wrestling base behind him.
