RENO, Nevada. (Siječanj 31, 2022) – Ken Shamrock’s Valor Bare Knuckle (ValorBK) Boxing returns to action April 22, 2022, with “real bare-knuckle fights,” featuring thrilling bouts between professional fighters, often matching mixed-martial-arts fighters versus boxers, at the James L. Knight Center in Miami.

ValorBK, presented by Valor Sports Inc. and Ken Shamrock, showcases all-action, unfettered entertainment by fierce fighters stepping into the Bout Circle. ValorBK brings forth the world’s first true Bare-Knuckle competition, setting the industry standard for both fighters and fans.

Best known for his participation in the Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), Pride Fighting Championships, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), Total Nonstop Wrestling Action, and Pancrase, Shamrock is taking Valor Bare Knuckle to the forefront of contemporary combat sports.

“ValorBK is a lifelong vision realized after decades of global competition at the highest level across various combat sports,” Shamrock said. “With the innovation of the Bout Circle and our unique rulesets, ValorBK will take the industry by storm. No gloves, no ropes, no cages, no dirty boxing, is a concept born in part out of competition and is perfect for the next phase of combat sports.


“‘Stand them up’ was a theme I heard throughout my career. I know what fans want to see and what real fighters want to do. Our first event was the proof. ValorBK will be the platform to disrupt bare-knuckle boxing while also enhancing the great sport of boxing by developing a generation of skilled fighters tilted towards action. We are pleased to announce our return and hope you tune in for more big updates.”

Službena izjava tima Gunna o dodavanju Kevina "Kimbo Slice" Fergusona

Ostavite komentar

 

Hackensack, Nju Džerzi (Lipanj 7, 2016) - Svjetski bokserski prvak u teškoj kategoriji Bare Knuckle Bobby Gunn duboko je tužan zbog smrti Kevina "Kimbo Slicea" Fergusona.

Posljednjih nekoliko godina, kružile su glasine o dvoboju između Gunna i legende o dvorišnim borbama koji su postali profesionalni borac.

Njih su dvoje razgovarali o meču, a Gunn je osobno izazvao Kimba nakon hrabrog pobjede nad Kenom Shamrockom u lipnju 2015. Zbog onoga što je javno rečeno jedno o drugome, Gunn je pomislio da je to možda intenzivan sastanak. Iznenađujuče, bilo je upravo suprotno.

"Mislio sam da će među nama biti puno neprijateljstva otkako se raspravljalo o borbi i bio sam prilično uporan u suočavanju s njim,”Rekao je Gunn. "Istina je, a to možete vidjeti u videu na YouTubeu, bio je vrlo drag čovjek. Kad su kamere bile isključene, na kraju smo razgovarali o tome kako su naši sinovi bili i koji su bili borci, naše obitelji i druge stvari. U tom trenutku, Zaradio sam više poštovanja prema njemu kao prema čovjeku nego što bih ikad imao da se borimo. "

Prošlu noć, Gunn je obaviješten da je Kimbo primljen u bolnicu i da je u lošem stanju. Ubrzo nakon toga, više prodajnih mjesta izvijestilo je da je preminuo u 42. Kao obiteljski čovjek prvi, a borac drugi, Gunn je bio shrvan.

“Bilo je vrlo tužno pročitati da je prošao, posebno u tako mladoj dobi i tako brzo. Ima šestero djece i ljubavnu suprugu koju je ostavio iza sebe. Jednom kad prođeš pored grubog uličnog borca, Kevin Ferguson bio je jako draga osoba i svi koji su ga upoznali osjećali su se isto. Želio bih uputiti sućut njegovim prijateljima, obožavatelji i najvažnije njegova obitelj.

Gunn također planira odati počast Kimbu i njegovoj obitelji u ringu.

U mojoj sljedećoj borbi, Branit ću svoje prvenstvo golih zglobova protiv Shannon Ritch. Borba bi trebala biti u blizini njegovog rodnog grada Miamija, Florida i ja ćemo obranu posvetiti Kimbu Sliceu. Htio bih osobno pozvati njegovu obitelj da prisustvuje događaju. 305 zauvijek."

SANTA MONICA (Ožujak 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage da se tako izrazim,", Rekao je Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.

JUSTIN ‘THE BIG PYGMY’ WREN RETURNS TO ACTION IN EVENT’S FEATURED PRELIMINARY BOUT

Guillard suffered a horrific broken hand during his Bellator MMA debut against Brandon Girtz ranije ove godine. “The Young Assassin” has made it clear that he intends on eventually fighting for the 155-pound title, and his road to the gold begins on Feb. 19 against a tough Texas native with plenty to prove. Of Guillard’s 32 osvaja kao profesionalni, 23 victories have come before reaching the judges’ scorecards.

 

Known as “The Stallion” to those familiar with his mixed martial arts career, Campos will come into his meeting with Guillard riding a two-fight skid. During his eight-fight tenure with Bellator MMA, the 27-year-old Texan has faced a plethora of top lightweight talent, going up against names the likes of: Michael Chandler, Patricky Freire, Brandon Girtz (2x), and Estevan Payan.

 

You would be hard-pressed to find a better story in all of MMA than the one that Wren can tell. The two-time National High School Wrestling Champion generated massive amounts of media attention on the road to his promotional debut at "Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Okružen,” where he defeated Josh Burns. His story begins several years earlier, u 2010, when Wren confronted an opponent tougher than any he could face in combat sports: addiction.

 

With an opportunity to continue fighting on the table, Wren left the sport and began his recovery process. A chance meeting with a friend led Wren on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he came across and developed a deep connection with the Mbuti Pygmies, many of whom were enslaved, living on only the scraps the slave masters would pay them with. Wren found his calling there and wanted to do everything in his power to help the Pygmies. With multiple visits to the Congo, including a stint that lasted a year, Wren started a foundation called “Fight for the Forgotten.” Through his efforts, Wren and his staff of 17 have systematically bought the land of the slave owners, and have thus far legally given 2,740 acres of rainforest to the Pygmies, effectively freeing them from slavery.

 

Partnering with other groups like Shalom University and joining forces with Water4.org, Wren and his charity are responsible for drilling 26 water wells to help provide both the Pygmies and the former slave masters with clean water, and have plans to drill hundreds more. Dodatno, the team has begun a sustainable farming project to benefit and provide food to both the Pygmies and non-Pygmies of the community.

Both Newton and Vassell were participants in the four-man, light-heavyweight No. 1 contender tournament at "Bellator MMA: Dinamit.” Now, the pair of 205-pounders will look to re-establish themselves atop one of the deepest and most competitive divisions in Bellator MMA.

 

A former champion, Newton will be making his 12th appearance for the Scott Coker-led promotion and hopes to duplicate the success he experienced at the expense of Vassell during "Bellator 130: Newton vs. Vassell” back in 2014. Better known as “The Hardcore Kid,” the 31-year-old has been half of some of the most memorable contests in Bellator MMA history, namely, his spinning-backfist finish of “King Mo” and his back-and-forth war with current Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Liam McGeary.

 

Undoubtedly one of the goals for Vassell in 2016 is finding his way onto the recently announced Bellator MMA debut in London later this year. For this to come to fruition, “The Swarm” surely needs to redeem himself from the fifth-round, rear-naked choke submission defeat he suffered at the hands of his"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " protivnik. Veljača 19 will mark the seventh time Vassell has competed under the Bellator MMA banner and “The Swarm” will be looking to add to his impressive finishing mark of 13 stoppages in 15 pobjede.
