Sergey, aka "Krat0s," has a special place in my heart when it comes to starting my fist fighting content journey and YouTube channel. All my life I've been a sales guy, and in sales, 90% of my job is making cold calls and cold outreaches. So I said, "Screw it!" and reached out to Krat0s first. I said to myself, "If I can connect with Krat0s, I'll have a very well-known and loved fist fighter I can reference." So I did, and he got back to me quickly, with a lot of energy and excitement. I remember asking him a couple of questions I'd translated from English into Russian, and he got back to me with the answers in a 17-video response. I just about lost my mind — I couldn't believe it, and ever since then, we've built a very solid business relationship.

Krat0s also introduced me to his manager, who has also been a blessing to communicate and work with. So Naim, Krat0s, and even The Deputy — I owe a lot to all of you for being open to the idea of collaborating with an American. I salute all of you!

I remember like it was yesterday when I first watched Krat0s fight on Topdog, and I remember asking myself, "Who in the hell is that War Hammer?!" I learned very quickly that Krat0s has studied many different fighting forms — Muay Thai, MMA, boxing, and kickboxing, to name a few. I believe Krat0s spent a lot of time really mastering Muay Thai. He's one of the very few Topdog fighters with a significant foundation in that style, and I love it.

One of the dynamics about Krat0s that drew me in immediately was his sense of humor. He's recorded a number of fight introductions where he just talks about slaughtering and slaying any opponent who steps in the ring with him. I've also seen a few videos on Insta of him pulling off some epic dance moves with some of the younger female fighters who train at his gym. It's clear to me he's a team player, and not only a unique human being, but also a unique and scary fist fighter.
