Miloš Petrášek: Biography of a wrestler who is back on top after two falls

Miloš Petrášek is currently one of the most popular MMA fighters on the domestic scene. This is also due to the MMA podcast Flight Through the World, in which he often appears alongside Oktagon promoter Ondrej Novotny. What is his life story?

Miloš Petrášek was brought to combat sports by his father together with his older brother Ondrej. At the age of eight he started to take part in Samo and Combat Samo disciplines.

Later he switched to grappling, where he started defeating opponents twice his age at the age of fifteen, which motivated him to stay with martial arts.

He took up MMA in 2011 and the year after that he had his debut fight in professional MMA with Miroslav Nose, but lost.

However, Petrasek didn’t give up and went on a seven-fight winning streak after that. Thanks to his performances, he was noticed by the famous UFC organization, from which he received an offer.

However, it happened before the fight with Csaba Hocz, where Petrasek also lost because of the pressure and the chance to fight in the UFC was gone. Petrasek didn’t take it well and his next fight wasn’t until 10 months later.

But he lost that one too. He had a block in the fight that he couldn’t break. But then he started to do well, won two fights in the XFN organization and then moved to the Octagon.

There he celebrated two more wins, but then came his worst streak. He lost twice to Jeremy Kimball and then to Joachim Christensen.

After that he took almost two years off until he showed up at the tournament in Stvanica, where he defeated Vlad Neferanovic and we can expect to see him again soon.

Petrasek’s streak is currently 12:6. Interestingly, he only started doing MMA full time before his last fight. Until then he was a security guard and did MMA in his spare time.

Outside of wrestling, he is a frequent guest on Ondrej Novotny’s MMA Flight Through the World podcast, with whom he often discusses interesting facts from the world of the sport.
