Versatility pays off for martial arts’ star Müller

Namibia’s martial arts sensation Delano Müller put up an impressive performance at the German Championships in Dillenburg, Germany yesterday. 

He claimed overall victory across multiple disciplines, highlighting his versatility and mastery in martial arts.

In the semi-finals of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) category, Müller faced the reigning Belgian MMA champion Aitor Aniorte of Spain. Displaying strategic intelligence and technical finesse, he defeated Aniorte to reach the final. 

In the decisive match, he took on Ukraine’s Andrii Makararenko and emerged victorious, securing the overall title. Aniorte, known for his formidable skills, proved to be a tough opponent, but Müller’s superior technique and endurance ultimately led him to triumph.

Adding to his accolades, he also competed in the full contact with low kicks’ discipline, and claimed victory in a fierce match against Pavel Baev of Germany, further establishing himself as a formidable kickboxer. Though Alexander Olenberg of Germany took first place in this category, Müller’s second-place finish showed his well-rounded skills and competitive spirit. 

“I want to thank everyone who inspired me.  The fights were tough, but the experience I gained means a lot to me. I will in turn share my experience with my Namibian students. I am inspired and grateful for this opportunity.  Each of my team members contributed to my win and deserves credit. I am humbled and proud to be Namibian,” said Müller.
