Fighter profile of Ygor Ramalenko by Mario Rabelo

Some athletes start in sports to help to control their hyperactive behaviour or aggressiveness, some by inflence of a close relative, other by watching on tv since very young age, and others by first knowning the sport on school and liking it, but this kid has a very different history... Ygor "Tank" Ramalenko was a standard shy boy on his school in St Petersburg, talked very little, was a good student and always avoid the big bullies. Till some day one boy 3 years older than him throw soup on his face in front of the whole school. Ramalenko lost his very controled temper and throw a punch into the other boys face. One punch and one bigger boy felt on the ground moaning of pain. That older boy broken 3 bones on his skull on that punch and the police officer who was called to that occurrence saw to potential on that kid and convinced him to go the a gym. Few years passed and now Ramalenko turned a pro mma fighter at the age of 16 with the promise of delivering more punches like that one on school. The rest of the history is yet to be told...
