Following his collegiate wrestling career, which ended with a runner-up finish in the 2012 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championship, Honeycutt enlisted the help of fellow Edinboro wrestler Josh Koscheck and now trains at the longtime MMA veteran’s Dethrone Base Camp in Fresno, Calif.
Honeycutt made his Bellator MMA debut in September 2014, scoring a TKO victory over Aaron Wilkinson. He picked up his second win for the promotion in February, scoring a TKO win over Clayton MacFarlane.
The 31-year-old Bradley is an Iowa native who also earned a pair of NCAA Division I All-American honors while competing at the famed University of Iowa. Bradley turned to MMA in 2006 and earned 11 consecutive victories to open his career, picking up the Ring of Combat middleweight title along the way.
Bradley made his way to the Bellator MMA cage in 2013, and in three appearances to date, he has picked up decision victories over Josh Neer and Karl Amoussou. While Bradley’s base is firmly entrenched in wrestling, he’s developed into a complete martial artist during his time in the sport and now owns seven of his career wins by knockout with another seven coming by way of submission.

Ruslan’s fight with Lucas Matthysse averaged 1.243 million viewers and peaked at an outstanding 1.380 million viewers for the clash, which is now a leading candidate for 2015 Fight of the Year.
The bout comes on the heels of Provodnikov’s three previous appearances on the network, where he drew 1.2 million (peaked at 1.4 million) for his 2013 Fight of The Year with Timothy Bradley; his WBO title winning effort against Mike Alvarado that drew 1.232 Million viewers; and his controversial split decision loss to Chris Algieri which drew 1.046 million and peaked 1.1 million seere.

AMATEUR FEATHERWEIGHT MMA TITLE UP FOR GRABS ON JUNE 13 I Lewiston
Lewiston, Maine (April 22, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sine attende blandede martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced that the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Champion will be crowned that evening when Aaron “Relentless” Lacey (5-1) tager på Alex Johnson (2-1). The fight will take place at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.
A member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine, Aaron Lacey had a phenomenal start to his amateur career, finishing his first three opponents before dropping a decision to Matt Tullos (7-0) on a card in New Hampshire. Lacey fired back, winning his next two in a row over Dom Cofone (5-5) and Nick Spencer (5-4) henholdsvis. Lacey is a perfect 4-0 in the NEF cage and he will look to continue that streak and take home the featherweight title on June 13.
“It’s an honor to be fighting for the first ever NEF amateur featherweight belt,” stated Lacey when reached for comment. “Alex is a game opponent who likes to be in your face. He presents a very interesting challenge he is aggressive and powerful. It just so happens I fight the same way. Be sure not to miss it this fight has fireworks written all over it.”
Alex Johnson will look to avenge his first, and only, loss to Lacey’s teammate Josh Harvey (3-1). That fight was Johnson’s amateur debut back at “NEF XIV” last September. Johnson has been on a tear since, winning his next two in a row including a memorable, hard-fought decision over Team Irish’s Rick Matthews (1-2). Johnson is a member of Josh Parker’s (4-8) Ruthless MMA & Boxing gym in Benton, Maine, one of the newest and most promising teams to appear on the New England scene in recent years.
“Jeg er taknemmelig for denne mulighed, but it’s just a small step on the path to my big goals,” said Johnson. “It’s just another fight, and when they close the cage door in June it doesn’t matter who’s in front of me. I’m ruthless in every aspect and that’s what I’ll be bringing in June. I train with the best around and nothing will surprise me. I’ll be ready for wherever the fight goes. Ruthless all the way baby!”

Haywood Set For Pepper Showdown On May 2nd
Champions TKO’s Jerome Haywood is set to face Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper on the Mark Lyons and Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Promotions LORDS OF THE RING event, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London på lørdag 2ND Maj 2015.
Jerome will be making his return to York Hall, the scene of his successful professional debut in October last year, where he scored a well earned points victory over Rolandas Cesna.
Tilbage i oktober, after a slightly hesitant start, Haywood soon settled down and took the fight to his more experienced opponent, pressuring the big Lithuanian with stiff jabs and heavy rights to the body.
Haywood’s work to the body began to take a toll on Cesna, so much so that by mid way through the third Cesna was clearly struggling to cope with the constant punishment to his ribs.
In the fourth Haywood stepped up the pressure even further, which in turn forced Cesna to cover up to protect his bruised and battered ribcage.
After four excellent rounds Referee Alf Sprung scored the bout 40-38 in favour of Haywood.
Haywood’s opponent on May 2ND is Scunthorpe’s Matthew Pepper, who will be making his first visit to the famous home of boxing in the Capital City.
Following a training session, under the watchful eyes of his coach Brian O’Shaughnessy at the Champions TKO gym in Hackney, Haywood spoke briefly about the upcoming showdown with Matthew Pepper.
“Glad to be fighting again, it’s been six months since my debut fight.
After my last fight, I was hoping to get out again as soon as possible and I should have, I was due to fight in March, but had to pull out of that one as I came down with a bug about a week or so before I was due to fight.
My first fight, yeah I enjoyed that, I was well prepared for it, he was tough but nothing I couldn’t handle.
I don’t know too much about Matthew (Pepper), but we’ve been working hard in the gym, so hopefully I’ll put a good performance in for my fans, who I can’t thank enough for their fantastic support.”
Jerome Haywood versus Matthew Pepper features on the Mark Lyons & Billy James-Elliott Wise Guys Kampagner Lords of the RING begivenhed, der finder sted på York Hall i Bethnal Green, London på lørdag 2ND Maj 2015.
Sanktionere for denne begivenhed vil blive ydet høflighed af Maltas Boxing Kommissionen (MBC) -www.maltaboxingcommission.com
Billetter prissat £ 35 (Standard sæder) og £ 65 (Ringside) er tilgængelige direkte fra nogen af de boksere, der deltager, on-line påwww.tkoboxoffice.com or call the TKO ticket line on 07960 850645
Mayweather-Pacquiao Undercard-opdatering: Sid El Harrak venter spændt på Pearson Showdown!
Los Angeles, F.EKS (April 22, 2015) - På mindre end to uger, Sid El Harrak får chancen for at ændre sit livs- og boksekarriere, når han står over for ubesejret Chris Pearson som en del af det historiske Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao-kort på MGM Grand i Las Vegas.
At forberede sig til en gang-i-livet-mulighed, El Harrak dedikerede al sin tid til forskellige aspekter af træning. Fra cardio til styrke og konditionering, skarpe sine færdigheder i gymnastiksalen og intense sparring sessioner, den californiske Londoner dækker alt, hvad man kan forestille sig. Mest vigtigt, han mener, at de udmattende træningssessioner, han har gennemgået på begge Wild Card Boxing Gym-lokationer, allerede har betalt sig.
”Det er meget vigtigt at have rigelig tid til at træne til en kamp, og det er ikke noget, jeg har haft hele min karriere,"Said El Harrak, der er 12-2-2 med 7 vinder ved knockout. "Mentalt, jeg føler 100 procent klar til at gå derude og skinne i den største kamp i mit liv. Jeg arbejder stadig hårdt på at afbalancere alt, så verden ser det bedste Sid El Harrak næste lørdag."
Han elsker også at blive betragtet som underdog mod 11-0 og kraftigt hyped Pearson.
”Jeg er meget stolt og ved at vide, at jeg kommer ind i denne kamp, da B-siden skubber mig så meget mere. Jeg elsker det faktum, at Pearson skulle være "fyren" i denne kamp. Hvis jeg kæmpede med hvem han gjorde, Jeg ville være ubesejret. Samtidig, havde han stået over for de modstandere, jeg gjorde under de samme omstændigheder, han ville have et par tab. For at være ærlig, Jeg er træt af at tænke på ham. Dette er det mest ivrige efter, at jeg har kæmpet i min karriere, og jeg kan ikke vente med at vise alle, hvad jeg kan gøre i maj 2ND!"
El Harrak-Pearson ti runde junior mellemvægt kamp bliver tv-udsendt på forskellige netværk over hele verden.
