Holzken's resume is pretty insane. He is zeroing in on a hundred wins, and has under a dozen losses (with two of them against freaking BUAKAW, one to Souwer and one to Kyshenko) and has now added the Glory welterweight championship to his accolades.
Agreed. Who do you reckon takes it then? Holzken is in the top 2 (alongside Petro) for the best striker on the planet. Awesome at what he does. Oh, is there any news on Petro? Is he/when is he coming back?
