Vladimir Kozlov
The U.S.-Soviet Cold War may be long over, but that doesn’t mean every Moscow export is a warm one – just ask Vladimir Kozlov.
The aggressive Kozlov, a hulking 6-foot-8, 300-pounder, is dangerous both inside and outside of the ring. Trained in several different fighting styles – including Sambo, judo and kickboxing – the Russian Superstar is a brutal, no-nonsense assassin once he steps between the ropes. Kozlov is all business in the ring, punishing opponents with his vicious style and doing so with a sneer on his face.
Prior to coming to WWE, Kozlov was quite successful in his chosen disciplines. He is a former U.S. Open Heavyweight Sambo Champion and U.S. Kickboxing Association International Grappling Champion, as well as a former member of the Ukrainian national football team.
Kozlov has enjoyed an immensely successful WWE career thus far, and he has only begun to scratch the surface. As a member of the Land of the Extreme as a result of the 2009 WWE Draft, the Russian Superstar was nothing shy of dominant on Syfy.
From Russia, With Love may be a classic film in the 007 series, but it certainly isn’t an adjective one could use to describe the bruiser known as Vladimir Kozlov.
