Career

edit

In August 2011, Grajš participated elimination kickboxing reality show called Enfusion: Trial of the Gladiators. 16 fighters went in Ohrid, Macedonia, lived, trained, and fought each other. In the first round Grajš defeated Michael Kongolo and then in the quarter-finals, he enrolled the biggest career win against veteran Wendell Roche. This victory qualified him for the final 4 tournaments that were held in his country Slovenia. Final 4 was held on 2 December 2012 in Ljubljana. In the semi-finals, Grajš faced It's showtime 85MAX champion and perhaps the best 85MAX fighter at that time Sahak Parparyan. Grajš won in a tough fight, he was more active in the first two rounds, Parparyan woke up in the third round but that wasn't enough to take the victory. He became Enfusion champion and took $30.000 after knocking out Andrew Tate in the final with a jumping knee.

After two years break and changing gym Grajš made his comeback on 29 November 2014 in Novo Mesto at International Muay Thai League event. Grajš, now member of Nak Muay Gym, lost on points against W.A.K.O. junior world champion, Antonio Plazibat.[3][4][5]
