Marco "The Sniper" Piqué (born January 9, 1980) is a Surinamese-Dutch welterweight kickboxer, fighting out of Team Snipers in The Hague, Netherlands. He is the current World Full Contact Association Muay Thai middleweight world champion, WMC intercontinental champion, and a two-time K-1 MAX regional tournament finalist.[1]

Biography and career

[edit]

Originally from Suriname, Piqué has fought the majority of his fights in the Netherlands. He won his first title in 2003 when he defeated Alviar Lima via split decision to claim the W.P.K.L. Dutch national Muay Thai title. Over the next couple of years Piqué claimed the W.F.C.A. Benelux title and the W.P.K.L. European title as well as losing to legendary Thai fighter Jongsanan Fairtex in Las Vegas in a bid to win Fairtex's I.K.K.C. world title belt.[2] Throughout 2006 Piqué started to regularly face some of the world's best middleweight kickboxers, losing to Buakaw Por. Pramuk, Şahin Yakut and Giorgio Petrosyan, the latter in the final of the annual Janus Fight tournament. His record was patchy by the end of 2006 but he had a terrific 2007, winning two preliminary tournaments and reaching the final of two more, winning thirteen out of fifteen fights and beating some top fighters such as Chaid Oulad El Hadj and Petr Polak.

In 2008 Piqué made his K-1 MAX debut at the K-1 MAX Netherlands 2008 in Utrecht, making his way to the final in a tough tournament which included a victory over tournament favourite Joerie Mes in the quarter-finals. In the final Piqué found Warren Stevelmans a step too far and was unable to make it to the K-1 MAX final 16 stage. He entered another K-1 MAX tournament in Sweden later in the year but could only reach the semi-finals. Piqué returned to K-1 MAX the following year, again reaching the final at the K-1 World MAX 2009 Europe but once more failing to make the next step to the K-1 World MAX final by dropping a decision to up and comer Leroy Kaestner. Piqué made up somewhat for this defeat later in the year by winning the W.M.C. intercontinental title and then the World Full Contact Association (W.F.C.A.) world title in his native Suriname.

He lost to Issam Reghi via decision at Time Fight 2 in Tours, France on October 6, 2012.[3]

On the verge of throwing up, Pique quit on his stool before the fifth round against Raphaël Llodra at Best of Siam 3 in Paris, France, on February 14, 2013.[4][5]

He lost a unanimous decision to Suriya Prasathinpimai at Thailand vs. Europe 2013 in Neu-Ulm, Germany on March 23, 2013.[6]

On July 6, 2013, Piqué lost to John Wayne Parr by decision at Boonchu Cup: Caged Muay Thai 3 on the Gold Coast, Australia.[7][8]

He beat Dima Weimer on points at Day of Destruction 7 in Hamburg, Germany on September 14, 2013.[9]

He lost to Grégory Choplin via UD in the main event of Lion Fight 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States on March 28, 2014.[10]
