Robin van Roosmalen

Always interested in sports, Robin was four when he started self-defence class. A few years later he tried football, but quickly realised he was better suited to individual sports. Finally, he decided to focus on kickboxing at age fourteen, and the rest, as they say, is history.

It wasn't long before he was keeping up with established names and performing well in competitions against the best of the highest division. Not content with simply winning these matches, Robin kept developing himself into the world-class athlete he is today.

During his career, Robin showed the world he is one of the best in his field, becoming a four-time GLORY champion in the featherweight and lightweight divisions. He also became the first kickboxer ever to be crowned a two-division GLORY champion.

With success in hand, Robin wanted a new challenge and made the switch to MMA in 2018. He announced his retirement in 2022, closing a professional kickboxing career of 73 bouts, 52 of them wins.

Alongside his fighting career, Robin also wants to support young people with difficult upbringings, creating support networks and helping them reach their goals.
