When he is on his game he is a VERY dangerous fighter. Good strikes and smart. He's evolving into a better fighter.

well he's fighting a guy who shouldn't be in the UFC anymore. but i agree he looks great tonight.
Struve looked better against Paul than Kongo did tbh. kongo is basically a bully

Always room for improvement
True, but he hasnt shown ANY in the ground game in 4 years since his UFC debut

Ill make a better assessment in his next fight IF they put him in with a decent opponent

He's a contender. He'll never be anything more but he gives it a go so it is good to have him around.
Well he's got L's against Mir, Herring & Valasquez already. But I admire your optimism/support tho

No, he's not. He's a good striker, but otherwise, extremely one dimensional. And it'll only get him so far.

Hes tough but he isnt anything close to a contender just a gatekeeper look whats happened vs the real contenders. Christ he had Cain Velasquez basically half unconciouss and was being took down at will then Mir trashed him in a minute.

Lets keep it real if he cant beat a guy like Beuntello he has no business in the UFC.

kongo vs gonzaga i think both need to get back.
good fight but i see gonzaga win by Sub I also was thinking about that potential matchup, wouldn't be surprised if it happened.

I think he looked really good in the Mir fight in memphis.Think that really showcased his skills and improved him a lot. Especially enjoyed it after he ran his pie hole so much in the build up. hes certainly a scarey guy.

When he fights a one dimensional fighter past his prime then he's great!

tbf his fight against buentello is the only one I've seen where he tried to get it to the ground, he's a striker

He tried, and failed miserably, to do it against Hearing. He got outwrestled and outstruck by Heath Herring.
Why he tried to take Heath down is a mystery; the fact that he got outstruck, albeit in brief exchanges, speaks to his ability to become a champion level fighter.

Yeah, I wonder if for all his striking background he actually really hates getting hit. It seems ilke whenever he gets the chance now he tries to take it to the ground whether he's any good at it or not or if it's in his best interest of winning the fight or not. Against Herring, against Velasquez, against Buentello, his best chance of winning and getting a big bonus is to stand and throw punches and kicks. He doesn't though, and as someone else said he'll never get anywhere if he keeps doing that. He'll just beat up totally overmatched guys and lose to decent fighters.

Kongo is a mental midget. The guys as dumb as rock. Thats why despite being as stiff as Frankenstein and a half assed striker he shoots because he thinks that makes him well rounded.

im sorry i was nothing but underwhelmed by kongo if he had stayed on the feet he would have ended the fight inside of 3 minutes but he chose to be a pussy and "try" to wrestle. hes grappling against an opponent like paul is just a testiment to why he will never be more than a mid level guy.
