Sergey Shemetov was born in Siberia - the coldest region of USSR (currently Russia).

Russia is the coldest country on Earth, thus Sergey was born in "the coldest of the coldest" and he had no choice than to be a tough and an extremely strong guy.

His biggest opponent was MMA legend Jeff MONSON who fought vs Fedor EMELIANENKO, Aleksander EMELIANENKO, Pedro RIZZO, Ricco RODRIGUEZ, Satoshi ISHII, Chuck LIDDEL and a lot of others.

From 7 years old he used to train together with his younger brother Vitaliy SHEMETOV different martial arts mainly focused on Muay Thai and Russian sambo.

Often without any equipment young fighters had to train outside even in ice-cold wintertime. That inspired him to creat his own introduction video.

Sergey started his career on local Russian MMA and kickboxing events.

Afterwards in 2006 he entered international MMA events in Japan, where he was trained for 1 year by famous K-1 superstar Nicholas PETTAS and won MARS (Japanese MMA organization) bouts.
