The Moroccan kickboxer Jamal Ben Saddik celebrated a big comeback yesterday, February 22nd and destroyed the Uku Jürjendal in Estonia with a brutal knockout at Glory 98 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Ben Saddik took a two -year break out of the ring in fashion, but returned around his body in Palestinian and Moroccan flags.
“The Goliath” unleashed relentless bumps from the very first bell and steps with precise precision. Jürjendal kicked under pressure and injured his arm in the third round. In the last seconds of the same round, Ben Seddik threw a crushed headkick that destroyed Jürjendal’s head and sent him directly to the ground and was unable to stand on his feet.
