you clearly didn't look. If you did look and couldn't find anything then I don't know what to say to you. He is fighting Dan Evensen on the undercard of the next UFC ppv, UFC 87 in like 3 weeks

alright I admit my laziness lol. Repped.

I hope he trains his wrestling and ground game more than he normally does, and he should get the win.

Isn't Evensen a wrestler. If he is then Kongo will probably lose lol.

The fight I have seen of him, he looks like a brawler with KO power

While it is true most decent wrestlers/grapplers could handle Kongo soundly,Evensen is everything but a wrestler. Here's part an old interview from him with Bodog fight.

Quote:

Evensen had strong words for his opponent. "I hate all wrestlers worldwide," he said. "I like to fight and that's punching and kicking. It's going to be all I've got to keep it standing the whole fight. I'm guessing he's going to be the total opposite."

Yep.

I'm thinking if anyone takes this to the ground,it may actually be Kongo once he gets nervous/overwhelmed on the feet. If I remember right he shot on Herring 3 or 4 times in their fight when he was getting the worst of the standup.
