“The AK Kid” will soon look to claim a welterweight title previously held by two current UFC signees. Italy’s Venator FC recently announced that “The Ultimate Fighter 12” cast member Cody McKenzie (16-10) is one of four entrants into the promotion’s upcoming single-night tourney, which takes place this Saturday at Teatro Principe in Milan. McKenize meets 22-year-old Italian Stefano Paterno (7-2) in the opening round, while Italy’s Giorgio Pietrini (11-4) meets Eulogio Fernandez (11-7) on the opposite side of the bracket. According to Venator FC officials, the opening round of the tournament will feature two-round contests, while the final will be three rounds. Veteran referee Marc Goddard is slated to oversee the contests, and the Federazione Italiana Grappling Mixed Martial Arts while sanction the bouts and provide drug testing for the event.
