What happens when two ambitious, talented strikers, each with seven knockouts under their belts, meet in a rank? That's right, one of them will likely become their opponent's eighth. On May 24, 2018, Helson Henriques, considered one of the best lightweight fighters in Portugal, entered the ranks at M-1 Challenge 92. He held the Cage Fighters and World Strikers League titles. Of his nine wins, seven were by knockout. He is a striking, charismatic fighter with a striking style. But his opponent was even more intriguing. Seven fights, seven wins, all seven by first-round knockout. This should be enough to understand the caliber of 19-year-old Alexey "Phenomenal" Ilienko, aka "The Phenomenal One" from Kaliningrad. However, let's add to this four Russian Championship titles and two Junior World Championship titles in hand-to-hand combat. And let's also add that Alexey's fighting style has always mimicked the most prominent striking practitioners in MMA and has done so quite successfully, delighting the crowd with knockouts from flying knees and unconventional techniques. That evening, two very ambitious and very interesting fighters found themselves in the rage, ready to put on a spectacular fight for the spectators. #Fight #Knockout #M1
