Despite latest incident, UFC’s Cheick Kongo insists he’s not a dirty fighter

French striker Cheick Kongo (15-6-1 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has surprisingly
become one of the most polarizing figures in the UFC’s heavyweight
division.

While his intimidating physique and aggressive style have earned him a
legion of fans, his tendency to find himself in controversial situations
have left other fans observers questioning Kongo’s commitment to
sportsmanship.

But despite having a point deducted for an illegal blow in his win over
Paul Buentello this past Sunday, Kongo insists he’s not a dirty fighter.
