David and Damion Douglas will join some fairly elite company at Friday’s Strikeforce Challengers show in Stockton, Calif., about a 40-mile drive from their Antioch stomping grounds.
The fraternal twin brothers will fight on the same card, joining the likes of Antonio Rodrigo and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (Pride Critical Countdown Absolute, July 1, 2006) and Matt and Mark Hughes (Extreme Challenge 32, May 21, 2000) as twins who have accomplished the rare feat.
The Cesar Gracie-trained Douglas brothers, who fought together on an EliteXC show in September 2008, will do it this time on a televised card on Showtime, putting their entry on a future MMA trivia question a little more in the spotlight than their predecessors.
But if you’re imagining David and Damion as the kind of twins who do everything together, like in a cheesy ’80s Doublemint gum commercial, think again.
