Background
editVémola began training in Greco-Roman wrestling at the age of six under the leadership of his father Karel Vémola and Vojtěch Smolák in Olomouc Sokol of which he is still a member.[1]
From the ages of 10 until 16, Vemola won six national wrestling titles and is also a one-time winner of the Czech Republic Wrestling Team Championship as a youth team member of the Krnov wrestling team.[2]
After his parents divorced he moved with his mother from Hanakia to the Bohemia. He resided in the Litice nad Orlicí and he started to train in the gym in Žamberk and he became a classic bodybuilder.[3]
Mixed martial arts career
editEarly MMA and bodybuilding career
editKarlos Vémola moved to England to pursue bodybuilding.[3]
There he became a bouncer in Tottenham.[3] He worked as a bouncer in nightclub, which is next to the Tottenham police Station.[4][5]
At a qualification tournament for British Championship of Bodybuilding he attempted to compete in the Junior Division but because he registered too late he had to compete in the Senior Division which he ended up winning. Because of this victory he was not allowed to compete at the Junior level of the championship so he refused to participate.[3]
While working at his job as a bouncer he threw two men out of the nightclub who turned out to be MMA fighters. This led to his being asked by Alan Mortlock to fight in the Cage Fighters mixed martial arts organization.[3][4][5][6] Karlos Vémola began unofficial and underground fighting at age of 21.[3] Vémola made his professional MMA debut in 2008 when his weight was 255 lbs. Previously he fought in various street fights and underground fighting events.[3][4][5]
Vémola won his first seven professional fights all via opening round stoppages in fights held in England by the Cage Fighters Championships and Ultimate Challenge MMA organizations. In the Cage Fighters Championship Karlos Vémola was the European Heavyweight Champion and World Heavyweight Champion.
He currently trains with the London Shootfighters team alongside MMA notables Alex Reid, John Hathaway and Michael Page.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
editIn April 2010, Karlos Vémola signed with the UFC. Vémola made his debut at UFC 116 against Jon Madsen.[7] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.
Following his first professional loss, Vémola decided to drop down to the Light Heavyweight division.[8] He faced Seth Petruzelli on November 13, 2010, at UFC 122 and won the fight via TKO in the first round, picking up his first victory in the UFC, becoming the first man to defeat Petruzelli by strikes, and also earning Knockout of the Night Honors.

Vémola defeated Campbell in the first round via submission.
