Denis Kang talks PRIDE, ATT

American Top Team’s Denis Kang recently won his Pride Welterweight tournament first round fight with a 0:12 KO over Murilo Rua. In the ADCC News archives are several updates with Denis from his participation in the ADCC ’03 North American qualifier through his move to ATT and into Pride. The next round which has two fights for Denis takes place August 26th.

KM: Can you describe your Pride Welterweight tournament round 1 fight?

DK: My plan was to start off stopping his forward momentum with some front leg kicks and straight punches because in previous fights that is what he has done a lot of, come out running with a kick or jumping knee. I threw some punches and they connected, got him a little off balance. I followed up with more punches and knocked him out on the ground, finished it off there.
