EuroFC Signs Petr Knize for Promotion’s Second Event on Feb. 11

EuroFC, the newest MMA promotion in Europe, is quickly gaining some traction in the scene with a solid maiden show late last year and what could be an even better second event next month. To bolster its roster even more, EuroFC officially sign Czech powerhouse Petr Knize.

Promotion officials announced the signing Friday afternoon.

While Knize doesn’t have an opponent for Euro FC 2, which takes place Feb. 11 at the O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, it was announced that he will be on the card. “Monster” is a multiple-time champion in judo and has looked terrific since transitioning over to MMA.

“Having a Czech legend like Petr Knize is a big deal. He is the Czech Randy Couture,” said EuroFC matchmaker Tim Leidecker. “I have long been a fan of his and he adds a certain depth to a card that very few fighters can bring. I am currently in the process of finalizing his opponent but I promise EuroFC fans that they will not want to miss this one for sure. Two MMA legends will compete against one another at EuroFC 02 on Feb. 11!”

A battle between UFC veteran Enrique Martin and Aleksi Mantykivi was previously announced for the event.
