Yes thats true, but Kongo had few 3 fight winning streaks before that in UFC and still never got a title shot, i don't think UFC want him to be their champion for whatever reason. could be a race issue, not sure though. But i can't think of anyother UFC fighter in any weight class who has 11 wins inside the UFC and never fought for the title?? maybe there is but can't think of them.

. It was why they've done they never allowed Anderson Silva or Jon Jones to be champion this year. Christ's sake. You don't usually get title fights based on three fight winning streaks. Look at how many wins in the UFC Velasquez (7) or Dos Santos (8 had before they got a shot. Sure they're are exceptions but those exceptions are usually based on being very marketable, looking awesome or having entertaining fights. None of which are really true of Kongo. Its also worth pointing out that Kongo's three victories were over in his solitary three-fight win streak were Hardonk, Al-Turk and Dan Evensen. Hardly top of the card material. To me he's a good gatekeeper who's amassed a solid number of wins due to being in the UFC for such a prolonged period but lacks the big victory to put him over top. He'd make sense as an opponent for Mir or Velasquez in a eliminator for the title shot after Overeem/Lesnar but anything more than that is silly. |

How exactly could Kongo be given a title shot ahead of Frank Mir when Mir fucking owned him??

Plus he has zero charisma and zero fanbase. I want to see him fight Carwin to see him get his head squashed in, and i know im not the only one

It also depends on who he beats. again, every time he has stepped up for a spot to be a top contender he loses. he's a gatekeeper and good at what he does; filtering out the really bad ones from the bad ones. |

If Kongo was American he would have got a title shot in 2007, thoughts? |

so much racism against Africans on this forum, its out of control. shocking. wish you all would just come out and say we don't like Kongo because of what he looks like rather than try to find a way to discredit his fights.
