Seven top-class fighters from the Netherlands, Brazil, and Italy will join the fight gala on December 6
In the final edition of the year, SENSHI 29, the international fighting circuit will bring together 24 fighters from 16 countries to compete in 12 super fights under the rules of KWU FULL CONTACT and KWU SENSHI. Among them, on December 6 at 07:00 PM EET /12:00 PM EST/ at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria, we will see representatives of three renowned fighting schools, known for their distinctive styles and traditions – the Dutch, Italian, and Brazilian schools.
The famous Dutch school will be represented by three fighters with impressive achievements, strong determination, and extensive professional experience. Forty-two-year-old Rocky Grandjean, Dutch kickboxing champion, will make his SENSHI debut facing Bulgarian champion Atanas Bozhilov in the -75 kg category under KWU FULL CONTACT rules.
His compatriot Sem van der Lans, just 23 years old and a champion in the Arena Championship, Petres Fighting Championship, and Enfusion, will also make his first appearance at SENSHI. He will meet Mantas Rimdeika (Lithuania) in the heavyweight division over 95 kg under KWU FULL CONTACT rules.
Experienced fighter Dexter Suisse, 31, holder of titles from SuperKombat, WFCA, and the World Fighting League, will return to the SENSHI ring after taking part in the first SENSHI 28 Grand Prix elimination tournament. This time, Suisse will face off against the dangerous Giannis Stoforidis from Greece.
Italian kickboxing style and high technical class from the Apennines will be showcased by two exciting fighters at SENSHI 29. Well-known to the Bulgarian audience, 25-year-old Michael Samperi is a WKA world champion, WBC Mediterranean champion, and ICO European champion. In December, he will defend his flawless streak of three SENSHI victories in a match against Brazilian Petros de Freitas.
The second Italian fighter on the card will be 25-year-old Fabian Lorito, the current WAKO Pro K-1 European champion and world Low Kick champion. In Varna, Bulgaria, he will seek victory against Vito Kosar of Croatia after suffering a loss at SENSHI 27.
Brazilian mastery and aggressive spirit will shine through the performances of two fiery athletes. Twenty-seven-year-old Petros de Freitas is a four-time WGP champion and winner of the WGP Challenger GP. He already knows the taste of victory at SENSHI after defeating Konstantin Stoykov in the previous edition, and now he will face the athletic and powerful Samperi.
Thirty-eight-year-old Cicero Evangelista, K-1 World GP 2024 champion in Brazil, will make his SENSHI debut against Vedat Hoduk (Turkey) in the -80 kg category under KWU FULL CONTACT rules.
SENSHI 29 promises a world-class spectacle that will unite fighting styles, experience, and character from three different continents. Varna, Bulgaria, will once again become an arena where the strength and spirit of the fighters speak one language — the language of martial arts. Tickets for the event are available at Eventim.bg.
What surprises the teams of these seven elite fighters from the Netherlands, Brazil, and Italy have prepared will be revealed on December 6 at the fight show.
