I’m not usually one to understate the obvious, but damn, Denis Kang has had a bizarre run since being released by the UFC in 2009.  Aside from picking up a first round arm-triangle victory over Dae Won Kim, Kang has fought Paulo Filho to a very questionable draw at Impact FC, which was quite the spectacle in its own right. Kang returned to action last night at Road Fighting Championship 2 (Road? Okay, the “word + FC” formula is just messing with us now…) in Seoul, South Korea against Eun Soo Lee.

The bout was a pretty odd concept from the get-go.  Despite both fighters being natural middleweights, the fight was held at light heavyweight.  Also, Eun Soo Lee, who I won’t even pretend you remember from his lone appearance in Pride, last fought at M-1 Challenge 8 back in 2008.      

As for the fight itself, Kang and Lee were treated to some straight up reportedly accepted on the condition that the fight is at middleweight.  Considering that both fighters are middleweights in the first place, this shouldn’t be too much of a problem.  If it is, then look on the bright side: There’s always Poland.
