The “Italian Stallion” vs. the “Lion of Prokopyevsk.” Who will prevail? The odds are in Artem Levin’s favor. Artem Levin holds every belt imaginable. Name a belt & I bet he has it. He’s arguably the best Muay Thai fighter in his weight division. Roberto Cocco is no slouch. He has had an extensive fight career, and has held numerous titles in the past. This is sure to be one of the more exciting match ups at Muay Thai Premier League’s “BLOOD & STEEL” This Sunday in the Netherlands.

This past weekend, the fighters that take part in the juggernaut of a promotion that is the Muaythai Premier League, traveled to the land of tulips, wooden shoes, giant wheels of cheese, coffee shops that aren’t really known for their coffee, and big & tall people that can kick a lot of ass!
