Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2015-04-12, nice and tough exchanges between Yodsanklai Fairtex and Marat Grigorian: it gets three stars.The former Lumpinee, WMC and WBC world champion Yodsanklai Fairtex entered this fight with a professional kickboxing record of 192-71-4 (76 knockouts) and he is ranked as the No.5 super welterweight in the world. He suffered two consecutive defeats in 2011, against Prakaysaeng Sit Or and Artur Kyshenko (4-stars-fight, Kyshenko vs Yodsanklai), but since then he has won 15 consecutive bouts beating Alex Oller in his last fight.
His opponent, Marat Grigorian, has an official record of 39-5-1 (21 knockouts) and he entered as the No.6 in the same weight class. He lost to #1 Robin van Roosmalen last year (=Roosmalen vs Grigorian) but after this fight he has won four bouts, winning the Kunlun Fight Mw tournament (Group D) two months ago beating Aikpracha Meenayothin (=Aikpracha vs Grigorian) and Fernando Calzetta (=Grigorian vs Calzetta). Yodsanklai vs Grigorian is the main event of Kunlun Fight 22. Watch the video and rate this fight!

what a demolition job by Yodsanklai kicking with his left leg the right side of Grigorian! I want to see Yodsanklai in a Glory tournament!!
I believe there is a reason why he isn’t in glory. Imagine throwing yod, buakaw and now sittichai into the 70 kg division.
that’s what i want: thai fighter in the best 70kg tournament…..everything is possible, Aikpracha fought for Glory last year, so why not for Yodsanklai and Buakaw? they have also more fans/audience in USA than Aikpracha or Kiria or any other fighters
…..anyway….the Kunlun Fight is a great tournament: Allazov, Grigorian, Buakaw, Yodsanklai etc
That’s what I want too, either they are blocked by other contracts or glory do not want too many thai fighters whooping the division.
The Thai fighter dominated with right side leg kicks. Marat show better boxing skills but were not enough to get the win.
