- CHUTE BOXER ANDRE DIDA ON HERO'S TOURNEY
MMAWeekly TV
Chute Boxe fighter Andre Dida returns on July 16 to K-1 Hero's. The 4-1-1 fighter makes his second appearance under the promotion's MMA banner as part of the 155-Pound Grand Prix tournament.
In this exclusive interview with MMAWeekly's Ivan Canello, Dida expressed his interest in fighting the toughest fighters in the tournament, specifically singling out the other Brazilian fighters. Yesterday, he got his wish as K-1 announced that Dida has drawn defending champion Gesias "JZ" Calvancanti in the first round of the tournament.
The 12-1-1 American Top Team fighter is sure to be a handful, but Dida is confident, entering the tournament after knocking out Hiroyuki Takaya earlier this year in March.
