Regian Eersel aka The Immortal is the current Lion Fight Super Middleweight World Champion and I spent some time with Regian and his trainer Paul learning more about what it feels like to be a world champion at only 24 years of age and how the American Muay Thai scene appears from his perspective in Holland, the world capital of Kickboxing. We get into "the Dutch style" and is it as hardcore as everyone says it is? We go deep behind some of his most memorable fights and experience some of those fights from his perspective inside the mayhem.
