Almeida Faces 6’5, 256lbs Undefeated Senegalese Wrestler
Despite the fact Almeida is up there with the utmost elite grapplers and BJJ competitors – his MMA debut won’t be an easy feat. His competition is not just a professional Senegalese wrestler but he is also 6’5 and 256lbs. Almeida’s opponent Oumar ‘Reug Reug’ Kane remains an undefeated champion of Senegalese Wrestling, which has given the 27-year-old experience in both striking and grappling due to their ruleset.
Unlike Almeida, this won’t be Kane’s MMA debut as he has already had an MMA fight under Ares FC back in December of 2019. The result ended up being a round two KO, against former Cage Warriors heavyweight contender Sofiane Boukichou (6-4) of France. During the fight, the wrestler also displayed his impressive grappling credentials through his powerful throws and takedowns.

We like to say “size doesn’t matter in BJJ” but when someone not only has size on their side but technique as well… things can get complicated. This should be an incredibly interesting fight to watch to say the least. An absolutely savage match up and I can’t wait to watch and see how it unfolds.
News of the matchup was broken by Michael Fiedel via social media who reported the story from Raphael Marinho.
