The Octagon is honored with a number of striking high -level specialists who went successfully in MMA.
Although it is not always easy for former kickboxers to make the switch and compete at a high level in the UFC, there are some radiant examples.
Israel Adesanya and Alex Pereira were able to continue their kickboxing rivalry in two huge fights at the top of the middleweight division of the UFC, while Stephen Thompson has produced incredible career.
Although the UFC career of Germaine De Randamie also contained some disappointing moments, it was still able to reach much in the Octagon.
In addition to her three knockout victories in the Octagon, there is a bizarre copy in which 'The Iron Lady' was able to demonstrate how dangerous she could be.
Germaine de Randamie hit the Belgian TV host in a fiery boxing match
In 2007, the Belgian TV star Tom Waes played in his own series, where he would try to prepare for and to prepare various challenges, entitled 'Tomtesterom'.
An episode of the series apparently saw Waes train his boxing before he stepped in to compete with Germaine de Randamie.
The boxing match took place in Slamm !!: One Night in Bangkok on October 27 in Belgium, where the card also contained various other kickboxing stars such as Tyrone Spong and Nieky Holzken.
'The Iron Lady' had already built up an impressively striking record and it has paid off in the fight, where her opponent clearly did not worry about causing damage to a much smaller opponent.
Because Waes threw caution at the wind and tried to release several large shots, the Randamie covered a huge court that had the TV star crashed to the canvas.
Video images of the Knock -Out see the two competitors who hug each other's hands and cancel after Waes got up again.

Germaine de Randamie referred to this knockout prior to the greatest fight of her career
On UFC 208, Germaine De Randamie would be confronted with Holly Holm to crown the inaugural women's federal weight champion of the promotion.
'The Iron Lady' would win the title, but before Fight Night she referred to the fact that she fought against men in the past when she spoke in a MediaSchrum.
The Randamie was asked to give more context about what she meant, what she did so happy, reminding her memories of SLAMM !!: One Night in Bangkok.
'[He had] 40 pounds [on me]”She said.” It was for boxing, it is what it is. They offered me the fight, he had three professional fights, and I have something like that, let's do it. He hit me hard. The first thing I thought when I hit him was damn, but better keeping my hand up. “
