Did you know that a former Chelsea goalkeeper has a professional 12-3 record in Mixed Martial Arts? Ricardo Prasel is that man, and he was victorious in his Polish MMA debut over the weekend in emphatic fashion.
On the books at Chelsea for just under two years, Ricardo Prasel was in the same squad as the likes of Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, John Terry, Michael Ballack and Ashley Cole while at Stamford Bridge. He was Chelsea's third-choice goalkeeper under Jose Mourinho and he never managed to secure a first-team appearance.
Prasel suffered a number of significant injuries before a short stint with Belgian side RFC Luttich and was forced to retire aged just 22. He took up jiu-jitsu and then began amateur fighting in MMA - going on to become pro.
