MTL FINALS in Slovenia
We have once again witnessed a fact that Muay Thai is indeed very popular in Slovenia. Sports hall Sticna in the town of Ivancna Gorica was filled to its last seat. The atmosphere was set for the Muay Thai league finals. We saw 8 fights (5 amateur and 3 professional). Home gym Nak Muay headed by its president Matej Dremelj and head coach Franci Grajs, made sure the organizing work was done perfectly.
The event started off with a match between Aljaz Segula and the Hungarian Robert Sagi, who won unanimously after four great rounds. Jure Smole and Croatia Anto Siric also went through four grueling rounds with judges giving the nod to Smole. In the 3rd fight Matjaz Peterlin sent Toni Grabnar to the lala land with a great knee strike. Leon Rezek TKO’d Sandi Bedrac in another fight that didn’t went the distance. Crowd erupted when home fighter Ales Godec defeated Josip Budimir in fight no. 5.
The professional fights meet crowds expectations. Miha Lap brought up a great knee in the opening round and KO’d Blaz Vinkovic. With the greatest technical display came Gregor Smole in his victory over Filip Gagula. In the last prestigious bout Sebastijan Majster defeated Jure Cesar.
The award for this years best gym went to two teams: Muay Thai gym Ptuj and Muay (both from Slovenia) and in third place came Spartan gym from Zagreb Croatia.
The league finals were staged for charity reasons also. Half of the ticked income was donated to the children from socially threatened families.
President of Slovenian Muay Thai federation Iztok Vorkapic said this season was very successful and announced that next years league will be even stronger and that preparations for the 3rd season have already started.
