On December 6 at 7:00 PM EET /12:00 PM EST/ the Congress Hall at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria will transform into an arena of world-class clashes, where 22 elite fighters from different countries will face off in 11 explosive matches under the rules of KWU FULL CONTACT and KWU SENSHI. You can still buy tickets from Eventim.bg.
One of the most intriguing bouts will be the showdown between Nathan Bendon (England) and Nicolás Sanabria (Colombia) in the KWU SENSHI -70 kg category — a classic collision between European discipline and Latin American passion.
The Englishman Nathan Bendon is a world champion in XFC, KGP, and MTGP, a proven Muay Thai specialist, and one of the most dynamic fighters on the modern combat sports scene. He has been training since the age of 10, driven by the desire to test the limits of his own abilities. “After my first win, I already knew this was my path. I wanted to become the best, and today I’m grateful that my hard work has given me a meaningful life and an example for my children,” he says in an exclusive interview for the combat media Boec.bg.
His day begins with a cold plunge and continues with heavy strength sessions, followed by exhausting pad rounds, sparring, and clinch work. “Every day I push beyond my limit — this is the life I was made for,” Bendon admits. For him, mindset is just as important as physical preparation: “I believe a person is what they think. I think like a champion — so I am a champion.”
One of the most memorable moments of his career is his victory over Adam Noi for the Muay Thai world title — a fight that, in his words, “cemented his place in history.” His tough battles have shaped his character and turned him into a symbol of resilience and determination.
Outside the ring, Nathan is a devoted father who loves spending time with his children and teaching them the power of discipline and consistency. “My ‘why’ has always been my family. Even in the hardest moments, thinking of them gives me strength.”
As for the upcoming fight with Nicolás Sanabria, the Englishman is confident: “It’s going to be explosive from the start to the finish. If he makes it out of the first round, he’ll be lucky.” He approaches the match with respect but also complete self-assurance: “My philosophy is simple — kill or be killed. There’s no room for doubt.”
With his charisma, professionalism, and uncompromising style, Nathan Bendon enters SENSHI 29 with a clear mission — to win the hearts of the audience and prove that he is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.
