Murthel "The Predator" Groenhart (born October 10, 1986) is a Dutch-Surinamese super middleweight kickboxer fighting out of Amsterdam, Netherlands for Mike's Gym, where he is trained by Mike Passenier. He is the 2008 K-1 Italy Oktagan champion and K-1 World MAX 2012 World Championship Tournament Champion currently fighting within the It's Showtime organization. As of 2 November 2015, he is ranked the #6 welterweight in the world by GLORY.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fighters Rankings )〕 Originally from Suriname, Murthel began his kickboxing career fighting on small shows in the Netherlands. He made his SLAMM debut in 2006, losing both of his fights with the organization, including a decision loss to Leroy Kaestner at B-Klass level. In 2008, Murthel was invited by the K-1 organization to take part in an eight man tournament, which had originally been intended for heavyweights but was changed later for fighters around the 75 kg bracket. Murthel won the competition in spectacular fashion, dispatching all three of his opponents by stoppage on the night to take the title in Milan. The performance at the K-1 tournament led to Murthel being invited to take part in a fight within the It's Showtime organization – the Netherlands biggest kickboxing organization. He lost his debut to It's Showtime Reality winner Sem Braan but impressed enough to be invited back for further matches. Although an impressive fighter with a good knockout ratio, Murthel has had up and down performances within the organization, winning fights against the likes of Yassin Boudrouz and Joep Beerenpoot by knockout, but losing to Vladimir Moravcik and being knocked out by Ali Cenik, fights he should have been expected to do better in. Murthel has also fought and lost to top class fighters such as Cosmo Alexandre and Nieky Holzken – with the loss against Holzken after an extension round, being slightly unfortunate for some who felt Murthel deserved more. Despite some inconsistent performances, Murthel won the vacant E.M.T.A. European title at the start of 2010, defeating Amir Zeyada in an impressive showing. He ventured up to the 79 kg division to face Marc de Bonte at ''Glory 2: Brussels'' on October 6, 2012 in Brussels, Belgium〔(10 fights to watch in October ). Liverkick.com.
