Author:Crazy Horse

Since making the switch to DMMA from former LAFC, Middleweight champion and #6 p4p fighter Zachary Klimenko has embarked on a terrorising run rarely seen in the Tycoon universe. Working his way up into the rankings has seen the Ukrainian fighter earn a reputation for brutal knockout ability, but he has since adapted and diversified his gameplan to show that he's capable of winning in all areas on the scorecards.

"It is like chess" says the 5 time DMMA Middleweight champion, "As I said in the documentary, you need strength but you also need cunning."

Fresh off his impressive win in his superfight against SYN 185 Champion Oke Swahn, the enigmatic Klimenko demanded a quick turnaround for his next scheduled defence of his DMMA belt due to commitments back in his native Ukraine. This had org owners scrambling to find a suitable fight slot, given they had previously pencilled in the fight for the following week. However, the team at DMMA came through and the fight was boo
