Remains undefeated after four MMA fights
In previous fights, Kloot dominated his foes, barely exceeding two minutes of fight time in three matches.
However, on Friday Kloot and opponent Liam “The Mac Truck” McGowan went for a full three rounds. In the end, Kloot was awarded the win in a split decision.
“He didn’t want to stand and trade blows with me, so he tried to take me down. He spent the whole fight trying to wrestle me to the ground. Luckily I was trained a lot in take down defence, so I was able to avoid being taken down a lot. He kept me on the fence, but I managed to stay on top and work little shots from there,” said Kloot. “He’s a strong guy and was relentless in trying to take me down. He never gave up or let go of the legs.”
Now that the fight is over, Kloot will take it easy and continue his training. So far, he
has no other fights scheduled.
