Cristian Bosch vs. Damian Bujan set for Yokkao 16


Yokkao 16 is set to take place in Rosario, Argentina and Yokkao has just confirmed their co-main event which should have Muay Thai fans in Argentina excited. Argentinians Cristian Bosch and Damian Bujan fight in front of their home country.

Bosch has long been one of the most recognized fighters from Argentina, while Bujan has started to gain significant international recognition as one of the best from Argentina in recent years. He most recently defeated Andres Dussan by decision at Simply The Best 5.

Bujan will look to score a victory over the first man that trained him. He is known for having some heavy leg kicks, although he has not been in action much recently this could be seen almost as a passing of the torch is Bujan wins. His last fight was in Spain over a year ago where he was victorious. He has a very technical style, and doesn't mind fighting from the outside or grinding in the clinch.

This bout joins the previously announced bout between Pakorn and Nicolas Vega.
