Karl Amoussou is born in 1985 in France and has a judo background just like Bertrand.
Karl also competed in Ju-Jitsu before switching to MMA. He made his debut in 2006 and he has a record of 20 wins, 4 losses and 2 draws. Karl has fought in M-1 Global, Dream, Strikeforce and recently he signed a contract with Bellator and won his first fight by submission. His nickname is “Psycho” and in the ring he really lives out his caracter but outside the ring he is a very friendly and symphatic person.
We really look forward to have two world class fighters such as the Amoussou brothers at the summercamp.
