Who Should Denis Kang Fight Next?

by Kelvin Hunt on Apr 25, 2009 2:55 PM EDT in News

Denis Kang gave some subtle hints about who he would like to face next while speaking with MMAWeekly:

I need to take a little time off to rest my body and we’ll see who’s going to be next. I know I’m not in line for a title shot yet, but there’s a couple of other 185ers who got wins that night (UFC 97) so maybe the UFC will line me up with that, but I do need a little break.”

Well, it's not to difficult to figure out. The only two middleweights to get a win at UFC 97 were Ed Herman and Nate Quarry. The more exciting fight would probably be Kang vs. Quarry, but I would be interested in a Kang vs. Herman fight as well. Simply because Herman is prone to getting subbed and Kang is well versed there. A win over Quarry would be more beneficial to Kang, especially since Quarry just took out Jason MacDonald. Which fighter would you like to see Kang fight next?

It’s a coin toss.

If I would take the time to type up a thought-out case for either being Kang’s next fight tomorrow they’d probably announce that Quarry vs. Herman has been signed.

Bloody hell.

For my viewing pleasure, I’m leaning towards Herman/Kang. Two fairly well-rounded guys who would fight all over the place and they both have disappointing losses to the same guy.

Bloody hell.

No doubt.

That’d also be basically a loser leave town match. I’d be all over that.

If you see Mark Coleman in person, drop $5 on the floor and watch the fun as he tries in vain to bend down and pick it up.

I’d love to see either, but I think Kang vs. Quarry might be a little better. I’m wondering if the UFC will be going into Japan this Fall (they have started a new UFC Japan website) and if so maybe they’ll save Denis to fight on that.

I saw that about the Japan website. However, they have Machida on the banner that I saw…not Kang…along with the Asian fighters.

I wonder if they feel like they’re close to a television deal over there? (I mean other than the one they’ve got with WOWOW already). I’ve heard that they’d need to be broadcast on network TV to really make some serious green over there. Dude, I wish they’d come back to Charlotte, but there is so much money to be made overseas that it cuts down on the possibilities here in the States. And of the events that are here, you know that states like Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, etc…. are going to get the lion’s share of those.

They really do need to comeback to NC…with the miltiary bases here and surrounding areas…on top of just fans in general? Pft….that could do ridiculous numbers…IMO.

I’ll take option three: whoever. Kang hasn’t impressed me, and at this point I’d be just as happy to see him fight someone that will stifle him, like Yushin Okami.
