There has been a growing hype surrounding Denis as of late, which he attributes to both his fighting success and exciting style. “People are just seeing me be successful all over the planet, and it’s creating a buzz. I’ve been fighting for a while now, and I always try to fight aggressively and explosively.” Hype about Denis is starting to hit the North American MMA world but has already been abundant in Korea, where he has been an active participant in the Spirit MC organization. “The MMA scene is getting huge in Korea. The Spirit MC organization is one of the best shows I’ve ever fought on. The production level is top notch, and all the fighters are treated the way they should be.” The MMA scene in Korea, although relatively young, is growing and flourishing. “They also now have these [organizations] that offer live MMA fights every night. Unfortunately some of those are of a poor level and with rules like ‘ground kicking’ that should be for experienced fighters only. Korean TV stations broadcast MMA every night, and of course, Koreans are a very spirited and passionate people, so the fans are very into it.”
