Managed by Seppo Koskinen (2820), a former Versus champ and top 10 p4p fighter with a 18-6-2 record inside GAMMA. A 265+ lbs champion with 7 title fights and 9 FON awards in total. He also headlined a total of 7 major GAMMA events and has a total of 120 ranking points which officially makes him our 25th best fighter ever and 6th best 265/265+ fighter in history. His biggest wins are over Kenichi Shirahama, Lan Mandragoran, Jt Colossus, Gunnar Steigelmann, Tony Slevin, Fat Gorilla among others.
He was the biggest signing from our merger of Versus back then and probably the biggest surprise of the whole roster because after joining us, because although he had a long run there, he had just one title win and it was way back in his early days. He also joined while already in his mid 30s, so expectations were low.
After joining he went undefeated from 2014-03-30 till 2015-05-09 (a total of 12 fights), in arguably the best streak since Jeremy Tonal and Raz Matazz. His only loss came to Lan Mandragon, a loss he avenged and he then went on another streak of 4 fights undefeated before inactivity and degrading started to really kick in and he went 4-5 in his last 9 fights.
You could argue he was our best ever 265+ fighter because he beat most the guys above him in the end rankings (Kenichi Shirahama, Lan Mandragoran, Jt Colossus, Gunnar Steigelmann), but the factor which really hurt him is 2 inactivity periods which cost his a good 8-10 total fights, one of those occured in his prime during his 12 fight winning streak.
