Cheick Kongo To Face Antoni Hardonk At UFC 97

By Jacob Camargo | February 07, 2009

FiveOuncesOfPain.com reported that a key heavyweight bout between two former kickboxing standouts in Cheick Kongo and Antoni Hardonk has been added to the almost complete UFC 97 fight card in April.

Cheick Kongo is riding a two fight win steak over Dan Evensen at UFC 87 and Mustapha al Turk at UFC 92, both victories coming in rather destructive and convincing manners. Hardonk has been on a tear himself with three straight wins over Colin Robinson, Eddie Sanchez and Mike Wessel.

A win for both men would establish them a top contender and furthur send them up the heavyweight ladder.
