Ion Surdu
“Dracula” has been on a straight win in this fight twice, with both victories defeating the former Oktagonmma welterweight champion. A quick left hook KO on top of David Kozma and a brutal head kick cock against Kaik Brito. Ion Surdu has asked him a lot about Jotko’s previous lightweight class about his weight gain, but he explains that he is a seemingly a big welterweight. He said in December he stepped into the battle of Kaik Brito, weighing over 90kg.
With a victory over Jotko, Surdu plunges into the conversation of elite talent under the Oktagonmma banner. After already proven that he won the Tipsport Gamechanger Middleweight tournament, if not the best welterweight in the European MMA, he will prove that he is one of the best fighters in the European MMA.
