Orlando Otmar Wiet started his career in Purmerend with Cees van der Velden and then trained in Breda with Ramon Dekkers and Cor Hemmers.
He also trained in Thailand in Buriram Nonkee Payuthe with Mr. Pramote and fought in the Old Lumpini Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand for the promoter Mr. Songchai Ratanasuban, the first non-Thai fighter to win a fight by decision.

In 1989, he defeated Omar Benamar and won a world title.

UFC 2 was a tournament with fighters of different styles.

However, in the opening round, he could use his Muay Thai techniques and defeated 6.2 tall and 245 pounds Robert Lucarelli by TKO (Corner Stoppage) with elbow, knee strikes and punches.
Then, in the quarterfinals, he faced the tallest and heaviest judo fighter of that tournament, 6.4 tall and 260 pounds Remco Pardoel.
Pardoel could use his weight advantage and Wiet lost by TKO and got seriously injured.
After he lost to Todd Bjornethun a year later, Wiet decided to focus on boxing and kickboxing.
He then defeated Azem Maksutaj and after that he took part in the K-1 Grand Prix tournament in July 1995, beating Franz Haller in the first round and losing to Taiei Kin in the second round.
