Nieky Holzken and L'houcine "Aussie" Ouzgni met back in 2010 at an It's Showtime event, where Aussie prevailed via first round KO. Holzken has been on a roll since then, with only one loss, to Artur Kyshenko last year.

Holzken and Aussie will rematch on September 2 in The Hague, Netherlands. Holzken hinted at this after the last Glory event and now we have learned that he confirmed the news to our friends at staredown.nl.

This is a pretty big fight, as they're two of the best fighters around their weight classes. Holzken has been fighting at 76kg lately, saying that he can no longer make 72.5kg and even had to kill himself to make 73.9kg for his fight against David Kyria in March. Aussie hasn't been fighting much but his last fight was in January where he won the It's Showtime title at 73kg.

The first match-up doesn't reflect the overall difference between them in my opinion and I expect a competitive fight. I haven't heard anything on what promotion this will be under but it seems like just a local Dutch one, seeing as the major players can't even hold events in the Netherlands.
