Denis Kang Finally Signs with UFC

One of my favorite fighter Denis Kang (kt213 interview) has finally signed with UFC to showcase his talents to the American audience. He signed a four fight deal and I can't wait for him to blow up in the US market.



He's a middle weight and he's already talking about a potential match-up with Anderson "Spider" Silva, arguably the best fighter in the world pound for pound.

Denis' dad is Korean, and his mom is french (way to go dad you stud!). In Montreal he trains regularly with GSP for strength and conditioning (see video below).



Little politics here....UFC has always insisted that their fighters sign an exclusive deal with the organization, meaning they can't moonlight their way between different mma organizations. This is one of the biggest problems with getting Fedor to fight in the UFC, because even though the other parties involved are OK with Fedor fighting in different organizations, UFC wants him for themselves, and themselves only.

With Denis' situation, he was under contract with Spirit MC, a South Korean MMA organization. But Spirit MC is so supportive of their fighters and want them to gain more exposure, so they're letting UFC have full exclusive rights to Denis Kang.

Anyways, oooohhhhh the excitement~!! I can't wait to watch him perform in the Octagon.
