CURAÇAO August 14, 2025 – As Honor Fight League returns to Curaçao with its sixth installment, the spotlight will shift to the co-main event—an intriguing lightweight clash between the seasoned, streetwise veteran Brian “HooibooI” Hooi and Colombia’s towering striking specialist, Jhon “Skeletor” Grueso.

Hooi, carrying a rugged reputation that stretches from bare‑knuckle brawls to respected stints in promotions like Bellator and KSW, is making his long-awaited Curaçao debut—a homecoming rooted in both pride and purpose. At 30 years old and fighting out of Rotterdam, he brings a record of roughly 19 wins against 12 losses, and a blend of knockout power and ground proficiency that has defined his unpredictable fighting trajectory.

Standing across the cage is “Skeletor”, a lean and rangy Colombian from Bogotá whose nickname nods to his intimidating framework. At 6′3″ with a significant reach advantage, he’s carved out a respectable 5‑win, 3‑loss professional record, clustering behind striking-based victories and technical defeats.

This matchup balances Hooi’s gritty tenacity and cage experience against Skeletor’s methodical boxing and physical toolkit. Hooi’s history—spanning regional tournaments, international showdowns, and bare-knuckle skirmishes—paints the picture of a warrior forged in the fires of endurance. Skeletor, on the other hand, arrives with measured momentum, relative newcomer cred, and the physical tools to pose serious threats from the outset.
