We send our deepest condolences to the Van Roosmalen family and their loved ones.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Van Roosmalen is the former GLORY kickboxing featherweight and lightweight champion. The 31-year-old striker has been fighting professionally since 2004, racking up a kickboxing record of 51-18, with 13 wins by way of knockout. He has not competed since September 2018, when he dropped a unanimous decision to Petpanomrung Kiatmuu9 in GLORY. After that loss, Van Roosmalen announced that he would be making the full-time transition to MMA and he signed with Bellator.<\/p>\n<p>Van Roosmalen actually has two pro MMA fights to his record, both being knockout wins in fights in Greece back in 2016 and 2017. However, he has not been able to make his Bellator debut yet due to weight-cutting issues and the COVID-19 pandemic. At this point, his only focus is going to be on getting healthy and making a recovery from this devastating accident which left his loving sister for dead.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CF8C-xGn9Nd\/<\/p>\n<p>We here at <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\">BJPenn.com<\/a> express our deepest sympathies to the Roosmalen family for the tragic loss of Melissa and we hope Robin makes a full recovery from this tragedy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GLORY kickboxer Robin Van Roosmalen is in critical condition after a devastating car crash killed his sister Melissa Van Roosmalen.
