(Kongo dodges Al-Turk’s ferocious breakdancing attack at UFC 92. Photo courtesy of boxinginlasvegas.com.)
From a new update on UFC.com:
The way we see it, this couldn’t have worked out better. While Velasquez vs. Herring was set up to get Velasquez another notch on his belt against a bigger name, Velasquez vs. Kongo is a legitimate heavyweight contender match. Both guys are streaking, having won their last three UFC fights by early TKO, and the winner will end up one or two fights away from a title shot.
I have a feeling that things are about to get really interesting in the UFC’s heavyweight division. The hot prospects are no longer being protected (see also: Carwin vs. Gonzaga), and it’s finally time for them to fight each other and establish a hierarchy. Will Carwin take on someone like Junior Dos Santos next? Will Mirko Cro Cop get to fight the winner of Velasquez/Kongo? Who deserves the next crack at the belt after Lesnar and Mir settle their score at UFC 100?

not a bad last minute adjustment. At least this way they dont risk CroCop.

gonna be a great fight! dont know who I want to win, whoever has the best chance of beating the fuck outta Lesnar. I dont think Cheicks' groung game is up to what Lesnar will put him through. Tough pick

I'm still getting the feeling Cro Cop vs. Al Turk won't initially be on the main card. If Fisher vs. Uno gets dropped it would be sad, and the welterweight bouts are fairly important ones. Lettuce just pray that Cro Cop Cro Cops Turk early and they slide it in between Velasquez melting Kongo and whatever the fuck is gonna happen between Silva and Franklin.

This card just got a whole let more interesting. Will be a good test for Cain to see if he can hang with a good striker, it will also tells us if Kongo is more than just a glorified gatekeeper.

@ Wrldchmpnabrvtr.. wut the ! This care is getting better and better! oops it must be the flu symptom ! (card)

dude... I love when the UFC takes a bad situation and turns it into a positive. Another great match up that actually means something in the HW division. Note: This is 100 more interesting vs. the Arlovski announcement.

This card just got a whole lot floppier

I fear for Cain's nutsack.
Wed, 05/20/09 - 09:59
sweet, i hope Cain beats him he seems like a humble guy with a ton of potential. I like this matchup better than Herring.
Wed, 05/20/09 - 10:06
herring beat kongo this is a weak replacement, congo'll get taken down and dominated hes like a fish outta water on the ground.
Wed, 05/20/09 - 04:12
if kongo can avoid the submissions he will def win this one
Wed, 05/20/09 - 05:22
Seems like a fight to me. I like both fighters, but I think that Cain will win as he is a little more versatile.
Thu, 05/21/09 - 04:32
LOL@ fearful nutsack I see this one as Congo having the edge in striking. Cain is well-rounded, sure, but if Congo does manage to get a takedown and hold top position, Cain is in big trouble. Wrestlers are really great on top and avoiding the takedown to begin with. But you don't want Congo on you. Mind you, I'm not NEARLY counting Cain out. If he wins this, he's srsbzns.

Kongo won't lose, and is on the fast track to a HW title shot. He's been working on his ground game, and is also one of the best strikers in that division. His cardio is also in the top 2 or 3 in that division. Everyone is sleeping on him because of his loss to Herring. He's a different fighter now.
