[( o Y o )]

Coming off of a big win over Murilo �gNinja�h Rua at Bushido 11, Denis Kang is considered one of the favorites to win the Bushido welterweight tournament. Advancing to the second round, Kang is scheduled to face Armenian striker Amar Suloev. Denis is looking to solidify himself as one of the world�fs top middleweights in this highly anticipated fight. The American Top Team fighter took time out of his schedule to talk to MMAWeekly.


MMAWeekly: You'll be fighting Amar Suloev at Bushido 12, how is your training going?

Denis Kang: It's been great. This is the good thing about staying injury free, you get to go from fight to fight and your cardio overlaps with the last one. You just keep getting better and better.

Rest is here. (http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=2511&zoneid=2)

Awesome interview! :)

Denis is one of the most laid back and humble guys in MMA. He's got a lot of talent and is my pick for the tournament.

I can't stand all of the haters out there constantly accusing fans of being nuthuggers and fluffers.

His demolition of Ninja was very impressive but I don't see him getting past his opponent this time... WAR SULOEV!!!

Denis Kang vs Amar Suloev - Preview

Denis Kang (22-7-1) vs Amar Suloev (21-5)

In one of the most anticipated fights of Bushido 11, Denis Kang only needed 15 seconds to dispatch of Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua. Not only did Kang move onto the next round of the welterweight tournament, he arguably handed the Chute Boxe fighter the worst loss of his professional career.

Armenian kickboxer Amar Suloev defeated former UFC champion Murilo Bustamante, using his striking and good takedown defense to earn a decision. Bustamante dictated the fight by stalking Suloev around the ring but was unable to utilize his ground game after many failed takedown attempts. Suloev consistently scored points with his takedown defense and dropped Murilo in the second round with a right hook.

This is the most anticipated fight of the night for me. Here we have two very good strikers with knock out power. Amar has a strong kickboxing background and is known for his striking. Lately, his offense has consisted of mostly counter punches and lacks aggression.

Training with Olympic gold boxer Howard Davis Jr., Kang has improved his striking over the last few years. His punches are crisper and more accurate and the refined technique has improved his punching power.
