Biography and Career

Marat Grigorian was born on May 29, 1991. He trains at The Bulldogs - Muaythai and Kickboxing Club in Merksem, where he is trained by Daniella Somers, an 9 times world champion. He has established himself as one of the rising stars of the Dutch circuit around the 70 kg weight category. According to Simon Rutz, the promoter of It's Showtime, Marat Grigorian has a potential to be the next big star.[2]

In 2011 Marat fought for the inaugural It's Showtime 73MAX world title, losing a close unanimous decision to Yohan Lidon.[3] Marat did, however, become the youngest fighter to ever challenge for a Showtime title, at the age of 19.

He was set to face Mohamed Khamal at Glory 2: Brussels in Brussels, Belgium. However, Khamal pulled out of this bout citing personal issues and was replaced by Alex Vogel.[4][5] He defeated Vogel via TKO due to low kicks in the second round.[6]

Grigorian fought Chingiz Allazov in a battle of prospects at Glory 7: Milan in Milan, Italy on April 20, 2013. [7] The bout ended in a no contest late in round one when Allazov was cut above the nose by an unintentional elbow.[8][9][10]

He lost to Robin van Roosmalen via split decision in the co-main event of Glory 15: Istanbul in Istanbul, Turkey on April 12, 2014.[11][12][13]
