Biography and career

Marat Grigorian was born on May 29, 1991. He trains at Hemmers gym - Muaythai and Kickboxing Club in the Netherlands: 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, Grigorian has a potential to be the next big star.[3]

In 2011, Grigorian fought for the inaugural It's Showtime 73MAX world title, losing a close unanimous decision to Yohan Lidon.[4] Grigorian 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.[5][6] He defeated Vogel via TKO due to low kicks in the second round.[7]

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

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.[10]
