Starting his MMA career in the popular “King Of The Cage” promotion, Duane Ludwig has a long and decorated history in combat sports.
At the time of this writing, Duane Ludwig had just received a new 4 fight contract from the UFC. This was at least partially due to his gutsy win over Nick Osipczak at UFC 122, coming off of a lengthy layoff due to injury. This fight truly embodies everything that Duane Ludwig has displayed his whole career and a big reason why he has such a following.
As we await news of Ludwig’s first opponent for 2011, here are 10 things you might not know about Colorado MMA fighter Duane “Bang” Ludwig:
