Accused of 3 Deaths in The Ring! Mike Zambidis - The Mad King of Knockouts

15 years on the biggest kickboxing stage, 18 world titles and 87 knockouts. Mike Zambidis conquered the old-school world of fighting with Spartan courage and carved his place in history with out-of-control slugfests. In this edition of K-1 legends, brace yourself for a jaw-cracking extravaganza by the Iron Greek.

I’m ashamed to say I’d not heard of Mike Zambidis until watching this vid. What a phenomenal fighter. Reminds me of Ramon Dekkers.

This guy was a true warrior, he left it all in the ring. He lost a few controversial decisions but he kept battling. What a champ.

greetings from turkey,

[@Afura33]

Damn he had a lot of power for this size. Also glad to see someone who just fights instead of trash talking like a lot of others.

[@lincslegend6936]

What an impressive documentary. This guy has got to be one of the toughest men to have ever walked the earth. His power and fitness is off the charts.

[@mlhbly8964]

The guy has lost only 24 out of 181 fights and was a legendary legend in this legendary time of kickboxing! Salute!

I came for Zampidis, I stayed for the commentary... Legend...

Α ρε Μιχάλη μας έκανες περήφανους. Σε αγαπάμε με ότι έχουμε. Τα έδωσες όλα και για την πατρίδα μας 🇬🇷

I'm Greek and I was an active Muay Thai practicioner at the time Zambidis was rising. So, there's way more to this man than the video shows. I lived close by, literally in the next area of where his gym is now (my area is called Chalandri, I'm like 3 minutes away by car). There's a few things the video doesn't cover, understandably so, maybe, since focusing on the fights only. One thing that enraged the whole of Greece back in the day is that Gher Kan had insulted and disrespected both him and Greece before the fight, because he was Turkish. This was one of the few times that I saw the media covering a Zambidis fight in my lifetime. The moment Zambidis knocked him out clean was one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched and you could hear the roaring cheers throughout the neighbourhood from all the people watching the fight.

I found out about him a little over a decade ago while watching him against Turkish fighters. As a Turk, I respect his warrior spirit and even against some arrogant (Turkish) fighters, he held his composure and fought like a sportsman, no boasting, no name calling no ego. Hell of a fighter, nothing but respect for him. Wish him the best with his family and school.

[@Geo-uq7gs]

Mike is a real warrior.

[@georgiosxydis]

I can't get enough of his fights!!!

[@stathiszarris3830]

Great fighter, great person great teacher, a man with honor ...we salute the Greek soul !!!!

[@luischacon6439]

Never heard of Zambidis And now this is the best video I've ever seen on kickboxing. What a genuine beast!?

[@radicalgreek99]

He makes me proud. I enjoyed watching him fight for decades

[@2bsure]

A real fighter. No showboating or trash talk, just real kick ass fighting. I first saw a video of him about 15 plus years back. I think his first fight with Chahid is one of the best fights I've ever seen.

[@unwaveringdiscipline5489]

It's insane how well he did against Buakaw. Even thinking of fighting that man as the smaller person is madness.

[@anthonykargoglou7205]

Extra respect to zambidis cause during 99% of his fights he was in a reach and height disadvantage.

[@user-fc1gq5xd9e]

damn, never seen Zambidis before, these were some power fights

[@Phoenixcaptain46]

I had fallen out of watching K-1 for a while, then happened to catch the 2010 World MAX tournament live and was blown away by his skill. Gago Drago also had an amazing knockout on that card. That tournament was absolutely stacked.
