Akop Stepanyan, nicknamed “Sniper,” is one of the brightest strikers in Russian mixed martial arts. He is the champion of Russia in taekwondo, kickboxing and army hand-to-hand combat, and he is also a master of sports in boxing. Such a powerful base in striking martial arts became the key to his uncompromising and spectacular striking style.
Hakob performed at the M-1 Challenge, ACB and Bellator tournaments, has currently had 39 professional fights and has won the prize for the best knockout of the evening more than once. Today we will watch one of the brightest fights with his participation, which took place on December 20, 2014 at a tournament in Khabarovsk.
The opponent for this battle was chosen to be very interesting and worthy. American Eddie Yagin, nicknamed “The Philippine Phenomenon,” was also a truly uncompromising fighter who always tried to exchange blows and knock out his opponent. His style was perfect for making a memorable battle. And his track record also included performances in the UFC Octagon.
