Norwegian Kim Thinghaugen (5-3) will headline the upcoming Almighty Fighting Championship 5 against an experienced Englishman Jack-Grant (11-4). The lightweight bout will be for the inaugural lightweight Almighty Fighting Championship belt on June 17 in Leeds.
“I think its a good match up, i will have my hands full every where the fight goes but still think Im better everywhere” says the Valhall Gym fighter. “Kimbo” is coming off a win at Contenders 17 in December, and has an overall 5 win and 3 loss record.
“I have been offered a lot of fight but opponents have declined to fight me”
Grant is on a two fight winning streak and fights out of ASW. His two most recent bouts include a 17 second RNC win and a 1:24 head kick KO, so riding a lot of momentum into this quality matchup.
Thinghaugen gained attention by landing the first twister in the Nordics in February last year in the main event of Warrior Fight Series 5 winning the 2016 MMA Viking Submission of the Year award.
