Kakai has fought to get into the The Ultimate Fighter house and prior was on the brink to get into the UFC. The GBG MMA fighter has a 10 win and 2 loss record, and last won in former backyard of Gothenburg over Carl Fawcett at The Zone FC 13 in April.
I don’t see it as a striking vs wrestler because I am all round and I believe I have better MMA wrestling then him, but I will not look past him, I see I’m as a dangerous fighter and I will bring my A game!
Kakai’s name come up recently as a potential fighter on the UFC in Sweden card, but will have to get more wins to get the call. “Every fight it is important, I will just go in and work, and put on a good fight and a great finish!” says the bantamweight.
