UFC 87 Bout Announced

Following the announcement of UFC 87: Seek and Destroy yesterday, Cheick Kongo has announced his return to the Octagon at this event.

Kongo recently lost to Heath Herring via split decision at UFC 82 in March, and is looking to get back onto a winning streak with a fight against UFC newcomer Dan Evensen (10-2). Evensen is a heavy striker, with seven of his ten wins coming via KO or TKO.

This bout joins confirmed fights between Mark Coleman and Brock Lesnar, and Kenny Florian and Roger Huerta. The event takes place in August at The Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
