Plain and simple. Like I stated he's too tall to be efficient on the ground. With no ground game...how is he able to finish a fight when 90% of fights end up on the ground anyways? He will lose his next fight with an armbar 100% guaranteed! KONG = BORING FIGHTER WITH NO GROUND GAME!

He throws a lot of strikes and puts together solid combos. He has KO power, in his hands and legs. The guy is physically a BEAST....his only flaw is ZERO ground game. Kongo's striking is pretty damn strong for the heavyweight division, he stands a punchers s chance against anyone. McCully may get takedowns at will, but he will eat some knees and uppercuts to get them I agree, Kongo is far from boring.

Christian Wellisch wakes up every morning with the taste of french knee in his mouth. I don't know where you guys got the idea Kongo is a boring fighter. None of his fights have been really boring except for Marrero and that fight was only boring because Kongo didn't realise he needed wrestling in MMA and that's all Carmelo had. Kongo has great stand up and I think this is a smart matchup as it will show if Kongo has improved his wrestling and if he is ready to face up against someone like Nogueira or even Mir.

No excuse but KC can't finish. Fighter who finish make the dough. Fighters who can't piss and moan. I recall CC taking a couple shots to the nut sack. No excuse but KC can’t finish.

He's a good striker, he was really cautious and had a good gameplan in his last fight with CC. Kongo beat the piss out of Assuerio Silva whenever the fight was standing.

He hasn't been able to finish his last 2 fights. He couldn't even finish cro cop after he broke his rib. He's just too tall and linky...he reminds me of a black version of semmy schilts.

Chiek Kongo need's to be built up as a fighter. See if he can improve his wrestling and expierence in mma. I Like the match. Chiek Kongo need’s to be built up as a fighter.
