Dutch Open, a tournament with a long tradition. Here have many great full contact fighters fought, and names Michalel Wedel, Peter Smit, Gerard Gordeau, Andy Hug, Eric Constancia, Koen Scharrenberg to name a few. If we remember correctly went Dutch Open for the first time in the late 70’s, 1978. Gradually, Dutch Open gained several varieties, as there are many good full contact organizations in the Netherlands that will host the tournament.

First we’ll take a trip back in time, and it’s Dutch Open in 1983 we will look at.
