The future fighter was born in 1985, in the summer. The homeland of the famous athlete is Tehran, the main city of Iran. The Geghard family soon moved to South Holland, where the boy's adolescence and youth passed. According to Musashi himself, his native nationality is Armenian, even in spite of his place of birth.
From childhood, the child liked various martial arts. When the boy was 8 years old, he chose to become a judoka, but after seven years he moved to the boxing section. The first successes in sports began to appear in this direction: at the age of 16, the teenager managed to win a national championship.
Subsequently, the young man decided to end his boxing career in favor of sports diversity. Then he made attempts to engage in kickboxing, but found his vocation in the field of mixed martial arts.
Career in MMA
