Though fighting a bit under the radar these days, Ondrej Hutnik is one of the top 95kg fighters in kickboxing. He hasn't lost since his 2008 defeat to Tyrone Spong, nothing to be ashamed about, going on a winning streak spanning four years now. Similarly to Spong, Hutnik started his career all the way down at 70kg, and is now fighting 95kg, as opposed to Spong at heavyweight.

Hutnik returned to the ring yesterday in Nitra, Slovakia, getting a unanimous decision victory over Pacome Assi of France, a veteran and stiff test in the 95kg weight class. There's no doubt that Hutnik is one of the better fighters in the 95kg weight class, he just fights on smaller shows, while still fighting decent and good competition for the most part. If there were to be a 95kg field or tournament of some kind, which there will be in Glory next year, Hutnik should definitely be there.

Alexey Ignashov fought just a week after fighting at Tatneft, and picked up a unanimous decision win over Tomas Hron. Vladimir Moravcik won via breaking Jose Barradas' leg in the first round.

The card, titled Nitrianska Noc Bojovnikov, was originally scheduled to feature a marquee match-up at 70kg between Abraham Roqueni and Yury Bessmertny, but the bout was called off due to Bessmertny sustaining an injury this week.
