Today in Trieste, Italy, kickboxing's best fighter Giorgio Petrosyan was back in action for the first time since winning the GLORY 3 Rome 70kg eight man tournament on November 3.

Petrosyan fought Ole Laursen, and what looked like a mismatch on paper was exactly that. Petrosyan was on another level from the opening bell before quickly dropping Laursen with a knee to the liver and then knocking him out with a clean high kick. This was Petrosyan's first real stoppage win since January of 2010 (Not counting the knee injury TKO of Ky Hollenbeck) when he stopped Mohamed Diaby.

Watch the remarkable KO...

ole training at his boracay instead of his thailand gym leading up to this fight: prolly not the best idea.

in terms of how realistic they are: mma > kickboxing.

it's as real as it gets, bro. ole chokes him out in rd 1. deal with it.

This fight should have never even occured. Ole's record is 1-12 since 2005.

agreed. ole should stick to mma. his style is better suited for it. Petrosyan is one of the finest fighters of this millennium thu far.

Awesome misdirection on Giorgios part. Dropped him with a body shot and then decapitated ole when he knew he would guard low to protect his damaged organs.
