Chalid Arrab

Chalid Arrab (born 28 May 1975), nicknamed Die Faust, is a German-Moroccan former kickboxer and mixed martial artist who trained at Team Golden Glory in Breda under Cor Hemmers. His amateur boxing record of 34 wins, 31 of them by knockout, in 37 bouts earned him the nickname, which is German for The Fist. He entered the K-1 World GP 2006 in Las Vegas as a heavy underdog a week after a serious car crash, knocked out Sean O'Haire in the quarterfinals, lost a split decision to Carter Williams in the semifinals, and then replaced the injured Williams in the final, where he dropped Gary Goodridge with a right hook in the third round to become the USA champion. In December 2006 he lost an extra round to four-time K-1 World champion Ernesto Hoost in the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix Finals.
