Former UFC middleweight Denis Kang signs with W1 MMA

Pride and UFC veteran, Denis Kang, has reportedly signed a two-fight deal with Canadian organization W1 MMA, according to Top MMA News.The veteran middleweight is slated to headline W-1: Bad Blood on March 20 at the Centre Pierre Charbonneau in Montreal.Jack Bateman, president of W1 MMA, spoke glowingly that Kang is a valuable addition to the organization's roster, especially given the recent rumors that he was considering signing with Strikeforce or DREAM.Once a top-ranked middleweight with a stunning, 23-fight undefeated streak from 2003 to 2006 in organizations such as Pride FC and Spirit MC, Kang has run into a rough patch in recent years. During his three-fight stint in UFC, he went 1-2 with a decison win over Xavier Foupa-Pokam sandwiched between dispiring losses to Alan Belcher in his promotional debut and to Michael Bisping at UFC 105.Kang's opponent for the W-1 card has yet to be confirmed.
