Apparently Mansour Barnaoui and FKL Fought 9 Years Ago...

[TRYHARD 2001]

This ranks up there with Matt Hughes/Kanehara in terms of fights that happened that I had no idea about!

Anyways, very close fight and this is the only video I can find of it on Youtube. I'm sorry that it sucks, but the fight itself is pretty damn good. I think Mansour deserved the nod here but it was a good performance from a very, very young FKL.







On a related note, Mansour has been a beast for so long now... how has he not gotten a shot in the UFC? Sage Northcutt gets 6 fights but you can't even throw this guy one?

He also lost to Gamrot and Makachev, btw.

It's because Mansour never fights and might still be under contract with Road FC. He won a million dollars and then just stopped fighting

It seems like 9 years since Mansour fought at all tbh.
