This is a terrible fight for Denis, seeing as this guy is a hugely talented relative unknown.

bleier - This is a terrible fight for Denis, seeing as this guy is a hugely talented relative unknown.
I think it remains to be seen if he's "hugely talented."
It could be quite good for Denis if this guy is a rather one dimesnional striker. Denis should be able to tap him out in one round IF thats the case.
I guess we'll see.
I still cant beleive Kang lost to Belcher.
gatovolador - Doesn't he train with Cyril Diabete?
Yes. Diabate is his coach.
gatovolador - Doesn't he train with Cyril Diabete?Yes and Cyrille will be cornering him next week!

me neither...
Prof X is a beast...
20 wins and 11 wins by (t)ko and 7 wins by submission means well rounded not one dimensional.
so are you guys saying he is a good bet at +300?
tttttttttt
Xavier has the best knee in the business....he use his knee like a jab....kneeing...and kneeing...and kneeing....
however, I would have prefered the UFC to try to build him a little bit instead of trowing him directly against Denis Kang who is also one of the best french fighter worlwide.
I think Denis would have an advantage on the ground, but a lot of guys who are better than Xavier on the ground have got KTFO.
Should be a great fight
