NEW ORLEANS – At just 22 years old, Team Roufusport featherweight Erik Koch is sporting a brand new tan (shout out to Milwaukee’s Sun
Seekers, says the formerly pasty contender) and an abundance of
confidence.
After closing out a three-fight WEC run with a “Knockout of the Night”
win, Koch scored a repeat performance in his octagon debut, crushing
Raphael Assuncao at UFC 128.
Now Koch faces “The Ultimate Fighter 12” winner Jonathan Brookins at this weekend’s UFC Fight Night 25 event, and “New
Breed” thinks another knockout win should earn him a shot at the UFC’s
featherweight title.
