Iron Mike Zambidis

Mike Zambidis is another famous K-1 Max fighter. He is from Greece and single-handedly is said to have popularized the sport of kickboxing there. It's said that everyone in the street has heard of his name. He is known for his boxing skills, especially his insanely powerful hooks and overhands. He is originally from a kickboxing background. When someone refers to kickboxing rules, it usually means no elbows, no knees, no throws and no leg catches. It is because of this that he is very weak in the clinch and knees department. Fortunately K-1 Max is now actively enforcing their only one hand clinch and knee rule. Prior to this MT orientated fighters like Buakaw, Masato and JWP will constantly get the upperhand against him using the clinch.

He is a top fighter, just a level below shy of the top fighters like Buakaw, Masato and Souwer. He always gives the top fighters a run for their money but just falls short of victory. In his latest K-1 Max, he was KOed for the very first time in his fighting career. By a high kick against Andy Souwer!
