Did you guys know Mike Winklejohn once fought Dennis Alexio of KICKBOXER?

quality thread TS!

They just don't make martial arts movies like they used to!
 
Fought in competition or in movie? Who won?
 
I like Tong Po's leg kick drills. Highly recommended. ;)

**I think the guy who played Tong Po was a real fighter at some point. Him and JCVD were good mates I read**

As a kid I met Dennis Alexio in Hawai'i and was amazed how big his hand were. Some of the largest hands I've ever seen.

Great find. I had no idea Winklejohn was such a badass. Dude just kept coming. Much respect.
Holly's coach > Ronda's coach
 
Denis Alexio is legit, he beat numerous Lumpinee Champions during his prime.
 
Local legend round my area fought Alexio and Cro cop. Absolute tank and lovely guy.
Opened his own gym last year and actually has a UFC fighter teaching there.

His name is Michel Qissi. He's been in a bunch of Van Damme movies:

Alexio became an outlaw and is going to do a long time for thirty-six counts of filing false tax claims, wire fraud, and money laundering from December 2008 to August 2013.

Sucks because it was his generation that got me in to combat sports.

Damn.

Dennis Alexio was arrested by federal agents at a coffee shop in Aiea on November 21, 2013, and his wife Anitalei was later arrested at their home. The couple was charged with 36 counts of filing false tax claims, wire fraud and money laundering from December 2008 to August 2013. The federal government also accused him of sending false documents to obtain gold bars and coins worth hundreds of thousands of U.S. dollars.[33] Both pleaded not guilty and were scheduled to stand trial on the charges in January 2014.[34][35] On January 22, 2016, Alexio was found guilty on 28 counts, including tax fraud, theft and money laundering. He was scheduled to be sentenced on May 5, 2016.[36] On April 27, 2017, Alexio was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison.[37] He is serving his sentence at FCI SAFFORD.[
 
They used to air kickboxing at like 1am on saturday nights on the abc affiliate here in chicago. Anyone else remember this? Kickboxing on network tv late saturday nights. Weird. Circa 1987 or so
