Before Betting on Regian Eersel vs. Dmitry Menshikov ONE Fight Night 11
Eersel vs. Menshikov is a championship fight and such, it holds huge importance for each fighter. Still, Menshikov has downplayed its importance, even saying that his next opponent isn’t better than the fighters he’s faced in the past. But we must disagree with the 25-year-old Russian.
Even though he’s 27-2 (19 wins by KO/TKO) with zero losses in the last six years, the fact is that Menshov has never fought in such an illustrious MMA promotion as ONE Championship. He did fight a couple of bouts under the banner of Glory before the organization decided to release all of its Russian fighters, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
One of the best moments of his career happened in 2019 when he defeated the former Glory champion Yoann Kongolo by TKO (doctor stoppage). However, even Kongolo is way below the level of Menshikov’s next opponent Regian Eersel.
The Surinamese-Dutch fighter is the reigning ONE Championship champ who’s 60-4 in his professional career with his most recent loss happening in 2018. It was a decision loss, the same as the other three defeats.
Since joining the ONE Championship, this guy is 9-0 with a finish rate of 22%. That’s not too high a percentage, but this is because Eersel doesn’t rush, but instead takes a more tactical approach. He throws a lot of strikes at the opposition, while also dodging a lot of their punches and kicks.
As a result, Eersel has been able to defeat a number of elite kickboxers/Muay Thai fighters, including Anthony Njokuani, Nieky Holzken, Sinsamut Klinmee, and others.
