Tomasz Narkun

Tomasz "Giraffe" Narkun[2] is a Polish mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter who competes in the light heavyweight division. A professional MMA competitor since 2009, Narkun has won all of his professional fights by submission.[1] He is the M-1 Global Western Europe champion in his weight division, and will face his Eastern European counterpart Vyacheslav "Slava" Vasilevsky[3] for the inaugural M-1 Global Light Heavyweight World Championship on December 10, 2010.[4]

Weighing in at around 205 lb (93 kg; 14.6 st), Narkun is considered small by North American standards for light heavyweights.[1] He has, however, earned respect for his tactical and defensive capabilities. Gregard "Dreamcatcher" Mousasi, a regular training partner of Narkun, has said of Narkun: "Tactically and technically he has reached a very high level". Mousasi has also stated his belief that Narkun "is the future light heavyweight champion".[1]

Narkun's path to the M-1 Global Western European Light Heavyewight Championship was remarkably easy. He defeated Olutobi Ayodeji "Deji" Kalejaiye[5] with a rear naked choke inside a minute, and defeated Timo Karttunen[6] with an armbar in even quicker time. His championship bout against David Tkeshelashvili[7] was slightly longer, but Narkun was still victorious with a rear naked choke inside of two minutes.[1]
