A former CSGO pro made his MMA debut, and knocked his opponent out. Sounds like a nerd-fantasy, yet it actually happened.
The name's pashaBiceps. Yup. With a name like that, you're either the biggest douche the world has ever seen, or... a super nice guy, that can actually fight, and encourages gamers to live as healthy as possible. Pasha is the latter, and seriously packs a punch: In his MMA debut, Pasha knocked his opponent out.

PashaBiceps still streams for Team Liquid, yet somehow finds the time to be in good enough of a shape to be a professional fighter. PashaBiceps made his debut in the Polish fighting league 'High League Two' and knocked his opponent out in the third round.

Back in the day, the now 33-year-old used to be a CS:GO legend, and won numerous titles with Virtus Pro, including one Major at the CS:GO: EMS One Katowice in 2014. Since 2018, he's retired from playing CS:GO professionally, but still streams for and represents Team Liquid.
Far from a stereotypical gamer, he's always advocated a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy physique, encouraging people to be in shape:
my brother came to Poland for a few days. I won't let him come back. 190 kg and very serious health problems. he has tried many times. I'll do anything to help him change life. Even walking hurts :( @Pimp_CSGO @zonic are you with us ? lets do it pic.twitter.com/1wKL2MF2Av

PashaBiceps has long been teasing his debut in combat sports, and with his debut fight ending in a KO win, this certainly won't be the last time we'll see PashaBiceps fighting professionally. Who knows, maybe a UFC fight down the line? Or squaring up against Jake Paul? Unlikely, but it'd get the man paid.
