Introduction To Niko Serbezis

Born in Oldenburg (born May 7, 1992) and raised in Bremen Lesum, Niko Serbezis wanted to become a professional athlete from an early age. Initially boxing, Niko eventually moved on to kickboxing and grappling.

He was never interested in big cars, watches or other luxuries, and he wasn't particularly interested in parties either. Niko always pursued his sporting goals and kept himself afloat with odd jobs such as delivering pizza - which eventually earned him his nickname "Spider".

This is how he managed to finance the training and continue to work on his skills. There was no parental support because his parents did not approve of pursuing a career as a professional fighter.

Motivated by the big names in the MMA scene in Germany at the time, such as Lom Ali Eskiev, Daniel Weichel and others, Niko did his thing. And when it came to equipment, right from the start he relied on the brand that would ultimately end up as a team athlete: Phantom Athletics .

What sets Niko apart is his iron discipline. He was always someone who never had to be told that he had to train.

He won many grappling titles over the years and was very active at the start of his MMA career. He was able to complete 8 professional fights in a single year. All fights were on the most prestigious stages at the time such as GMC, Respect FC and others.

Years of sport ultimately left their mark on Niko. Many injuries and even a herniated disc in his neck set him back.

With the help of a physiotherapist, Niko was able to fight his way back. Four years later he came back stronger to make his comeback at Oktagon MMA, which he won brilliantly.

You can see for yourself: Life is a fight and martial arts not only means fighting “man against man”, but also constantly facing your own hurdles.
