Bachar is a former Greek National Muay Thai champion and a WKF Kickboxing world champion. When Bachar isn’t just headhunting his striking is nasty. When he goes to the body and mixes in leg kicks his striking is at another level.
Defensively he’s in trouble because he doesn’t move his head, he stays in the pocket, and lacks footwork. He’s been rocked before and then he drains his cardio. Going against a lot of good wrestlers on this show his ground game is going to be exposed. Bachar has terrible takedown defense and has nothing off his back. Even on the feet, he’ll eventually be knocked out. Bachar is already 33 so I don’t expect much out of him.
