UFC Fighter and TUF Coach Cyrille ‘Snake’ Diabate stops by Tiger Muay Thai with Grappling sensation Nayeb Hezam of France!!!

It was nice having French Kickboxing legend Cyrille ‘The Snake’ Diabate stop by the gym this afternoon.  Predominately a striker–Cyruille Diabate is a world class kickboxer with an impressive TKO win against Rick Rofous on his Kickboxing resume via leg kicks.

Diabate was the Muay Thai Coach for Dan Henderson’s team during the Ultimate Fighter season 9 USA Vs. UK.

Having competed since the mid 1990’s in combat sports (Muay Thai, Full Contact Karate, K1, MMA)— he is one of the pioneers of MMA in Europe.

16-7-1 in MMA, Cyrille is currently 1-1 in the UFC with an upcoming bout against Steve Cantwell already scheduled .  He will be at Tiger Muay Thai for the next couple of weeks and has brought along French Grappling sensation Nayeb Hezam.  Nayeb regularly works the corner of UFC superstar Cheick Kongo.

Look for Cyrille and Nayeb around TMT for the next couple of weeks :)
