On Friday 27th April, Andreas Achniotis participated in Uppercut 47 Kickboxing event in Nicosia, where Andreas fought an MMA fight with Greek fighter Panayiotis Papageorgiou. The fight immediately went to the ground after a couple of standup combinations. Andreas passed the guard and took mount position, where he applied the winning reverse triangle in the first round. You can see the fight on Aspida's FB page here.
