I watched his past fight and it really buggs me that he got tkod when he was clearly winning that fight.In my eyes besides filho he would have the best chance of beating anderson silva.I dont think he nor filho can do it but it would be an exciting fight.Do you guys think we will ever see him in the Ufc?

Speaking of Dennis Kang, this is worth watching.
Kang goes up against a real striker, and hates it! Respectable performance from Kang, but man he goes out hard, he looks rocked for a second, but once he actually falls to mat he just can't get back up. That Said, he is fighting Kaoklai Kaennorsing, who while not being the best Nak Muay Thai out there, is used to fighting and beating much bigger and tougher opponents than Kang.

I'm not sure what happened to Kang. This really shows how bad the MW division is. I had Kang ranked as my number 6 MW in the world. I think I'll probably have to move him down after that performance.
Even though the MW division is bad now, I think that it will eventually get better. Remember when Matt Hughes had no challengers at WW, so the UFC had to bring in Frank Trigg to face him at UFC 46? The WW divison was bad then, but it's gotten a lot better. These are just the ebbs and flows of the combat sports world.

Akiyama is just really that good...
So were those slips by Kaoklai Kaennorsing or was Kang hitting him that hard? Man, that was a lot of power Kang took on the button.

Kaoklai did take some hard hits from Kang, not all of his downs were counted as such, as they wernt all clean punch knockdowns. Kaoklai was getting caught a little bit at times, usually he is very slippy. He does this thing in training where he stands against a wall with his feet inside a chalk square, and his trainers through table tennis balls at him, and he ducks and weaves out of the way.
If you watch a HL of him, you will probably see the Red Scorpion (a man who is HUGE), Alexey Ignashow throw a massive kick at Kaoklai Kaennorsing, a kick that would surely have decapitated him, and Kaoklai just slides right under it.
Alexey is 6 foot 5, 260lbs, Kaoklai is 5 foot 11 and 180lbs, and Alexy lost to him. Kaoklai even KO'd Mighty Mo!

What people don't know is Aki is a very good fighter, he just got off suspension and was hungry. Kang is still a very good fighter.
Edit: If you guys get a chance watch the Kaoklai Mighty Mo fight, the Ko is awsome.

He did look like he was winning the fight until he got his nose broke. That had to have taken some of the wind out of his sails. And Akiyama seems to be no chump either.

Damn right it is, its one of the best flying kick knock outs I've seen, along with Remy Bonjasky's flying knee turned flying head kick KO.

After that fight, hes dropped far in the top ten imo. Filho would be a good match up but I only think Henderson and Lindland have the best chance. I still believe that there are people out there who have a better ground game then SIlva. Lutter took him down but of course since hes a moron he got caught.
