Senegalese heavyweight wrecker Oumar Kane – better known by his fighting nickname, “Reug Reug” – is back, and he has his sights set on an undefeated Russian. Kane (1-0) kicked off his professional MMA career in spectacular fashion at ARES 1 as he threw his opponent Sofiane Boukichou around the cage before finishing his man via TKO early in the second round. Now “Reug Reug” is ready to return, and the 27-year-old powerhouse will take on undefeated opposition in the form of Russian heavyweight Ivan Romanov at ARES 2 at the Forest National-Vorst Nationaal arena in Brussels, Belgium on April 3. Romanov (5-0) picked up a hat-trick of victories in 2019, but his fight with Kane represents his first against an opponent with a winning record.

One of those sub-135-pound battles gets top billing. Young rising flyweight stars Brandon Moreno and Sergio Pettis headline this event

UFC Fight Night 114′s Hector Sandoval on Dustin Ortiz: ‘I just do everything better than him’

Winning, of course, is kind of the point whenever a fighter steps into the octagon. But, this time, Sandoval says there was some added motivation in meeting “The Ultimate Fighter 24” alum Schnell. Considering Sandoval wasn’t even on the show, which ended with Tim Elliott earning the crown and a shot at the UFC’s flyweight belt, the motivation might sound a tad random. But don’t worry; he’ll explain.
