Levels Fight League 6 | Blockbuster Event Goes Down Sunday

By

This Sunday, October 2, the biggest Levels Fight League card in the promotion’s young history will take place, Levels Fight League 6. The fight card is littered with former Glory kickboxing champions, top rising prospects, international stars, and will topped off by title fight to crown the first ever LFL welterweight champion. 

Local Dutch hero Melvin van Suijdam (12-5) will clash with KO artist Liam Etebar (8-1) in the min event of the evening with the winner becoming the inaugural LFL welterweight title holder. Hailing from the UK, Etebar made a splash in his LFL debut with an incredible ten second KO while van Suijdam is aiming for this fight to be a defining moment in his ten year career fighting.

Former Glory middleweight champion Jason Wilnis (2-1) returns to the promotion after his exciting fight in KSW and faces former LFL middleweight title contender Ahmed Sami (7-2) in the co-main event. Wilnis, who is famously known for his wins over Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, & Simon Marcus, will need to be on top former against the Egyptian who gave Tom Breese a tough time in their title fight at LFL 5.

Murthel Groenhart (2-0), the former Glory welterweight champion, continues his rise through the ranks in his MMA career and faces Poland’s Max Siewruk (1-1). With wins over the likes of Troy Jones, Cédric Doumbé, & Harut Grigorian in kickboxing, Groenhart has looked impressive thus far in his MMA career with back-to-back wins in LFL including a flying knee finish in his last fight at LFL 4 back in March.

Also featuring on the card, Leon Edwards teammate Aiden Lee (10-6) meets late replacement Gabriel Santos (3-1),Gino van Steenis (2-0), brother of Bellator’s Costello van Steenis, faces Poland’s Adrian Osmański(2-1), and former Glory fighter Massaro Glunder (0-1) clashes with Latvia’s Silvas Jansons (2-0).

This event also marks first in a multi-year broadcast deal with European giant Viaplay with all Levels Fight League events being available to watch on the platform in the Netherlands, Poland, Scandinavia, & the Baltics, with the UK coming in 2023.
