RENO, Nev. (Jannar 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.”


Due to a restructuring and COVID-19 restrictions, ValorBK has been regrouping since its inaugural event, Settembru 20, 2019, fi 4 Bears Casino in Newtown, North Dakota. (ValorBK1 replay available to watch at https://valorbk.com/events/)

Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (Kreditu: Bellator / Lucas Noonan)

 

SANTA MONICA (Marzu 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA is pleased to announce that one of the most popular, recognizable and beloved fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts, Wanderlei "L assassini Axe" Silva (35-12-1), has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight contract with the promotion. The 39-year-old publicly fielded offers from companies all around the world, but the former Pride FC Middleweight Champion made the decision to take his explosive style to Bellator MMA.

 

“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with Quinton "rewwixta" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell, and Michael Bisping are the stuff of legend – but Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career.

 

In addition to his Pride FC Middleweight World Championship, Silva’s packed trophy case of accolades includes awards for Fight of the Year (2003, 2004, 2007), KO tas-Sena (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, just to name a few. He now looks to continue to provide his award-winning, entertaining fights inside the Bellator cage.

 

Silva has several options for his first fight with Bellator. Although he has spent the majority of his career at 185-pounds, one of the things that his fans love most about him has been Wanderlei’s willingness to fight the best of the best – even if it was up two weight classes at heavyweight – as proven by his heavyweight wars against guys like Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita and Cro Cop; Or, his battles against light heavyweights like Ortiz, and his most recent opponent, Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second frame.

 

Silva is the latest in a long line of recent free agent signings made by Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. The former Chute Box competitor joins: Josh Thomson, Phil Davis, Benson Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov u Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvão, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary uVitaly Minakov,

6TH il-ġimgħa MARZU LIVE FUQ AXS TV

MILL K. David Bena

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Biss ONE FIGHTER stinka għal kulħadd sitta minn dawn il-promozzjonijiet li huma bħalissa taħt l-umbrella Zuffa. Li ġellied? Jeff “Big żrinġijiet” Curran.

Curran truf irtirar tiegħu 19-il xahar u jidħol fil-ottagonu fil RFA 24 fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6 fil-Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel fil Qabel Lake, Minnesota. L-avveniment se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV. Il bantamweight veteran, Curran (36-16-1) se tittestja mettle tiegħu fl-eventwalità ko prinċipali kontra l-Melvin Blumer f'daqqa (11-2) li qed touting 5-ġlieda win Streak.

Think lura għall 1991… X'kont qed tagħmel? Well, Curran kien wiesa eyed 14-il sena qodma li ddeċieda li jħarreġ Jiu-Jitsu. Curran jispjega, “Ewwel klassi My, Tgħallimt xi ħaġa imsejħa "żebgħa l-art’ magħrufa wkoll bħala Americana u kont naf dan huwa dak li ridt tagħmel u I biss kompliet taħriġ Jiu-Jitsu qatt peress. I tinżamm l-enfasi fuq myself bħala atleta u qlubija u ħaġa waħda tinżamm jwassal għall-ieħor.”

Fast-quddiem sa Awissu 16, 2013 fi RFA 9, Curran mitlufa deċiżjoni qasma fil-ġlieda titolu bantamweight kontra Pedro Munhoz. “I rtirati wara l-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi fil-RFA. Stajt ġġieldu għal titolu dinja u kienu f'kull juru maġġuri fl-isport u kien ġlieda, f'dak iż-żmien, għall 17 snin. I biss ħassew li man-negozju tiegħi u l-ġinnasju, fejn I kien f'dak l-istadju fil-ħajja tiegħi, gidjien tiegħi u l-familja, Ħsibt li kien żmien li jirtiraw.”

Curran żżid, “Iżda, prinċipalment, I ma riedx li tkun it-tieni l-aħjar, Jien qatt ma riedu li jkun medju bħala ġellied. Ladarba I ħass il-ħolma kienet marret jew l-opportunità kienet marret biex jitilgħu lura lill-UFC, għall-ġlieda kontra l-guys aqwa fid-dinja, I ħass li kien aħjar li tieqaf peress prime tiegħi tip ta għadda.”

Madankollu, wara introspection bir-reqqa u x-xewqa smoldering li jkomplu ġlied, Curran iddeċidew li pass lura fil-gaġġa. “Jien ridt li tirbaħ il-ġlieda, jirbħu l-ċinturin, u jmorru fuq nett. I ħass li jkun mod admirable reali biex jirtiraw, iżda hija ma tmurx tiegħi mod. So I rtirati – u qatt ma sib ukoll miegħi,” Curran spjegat. “U l-aktar ħin li marru fuq, I ħass il-ħtieġa tal-ġlieda. I bdiet tfittex għal opportunitajiet u RFA misjuba opportunità għalija biex jiġġieldu darb'oħra. Allura hawnhekk I am.”

Juggling rwoli bħala raġel tal-familja, bniedem tan-negozju, coach, u ġlied jista 'jagħmel spin ras xi nies, imma Curran jispjega, “Kelli ġinnasju tiegħi qabel I kellhom ġlieda ewwel tiegħi, so I kien dejjem użat għar-responsabbiltà ta 'qsim ħin tiegħi, iżda issa huwa ħafna aktar fil-fond milli jintuża biex tkun minħabba ġellieda tiegħi huma f'livelli differenti u jeħtieġu aktar ħin. Business huwa wkoll fuq livell differenti – u Għandi żewġ subien li qed jikbru malajr mill-jum u I għandhom marti. Hemm responsabbiltà madwar l-bord u huwa aktar milli kien 'skeda għaqli milli lura meta I kien jiftħu skola. Yeah, huwa ħafna juggle, imma jien jagħmlu dan.”

Permezz responsabbiltajiet kollha tiegħu, Curran żżomm tiffoka għall-ġlieda li jmiss tiegħu mal-Melvin Blumer perikolużi, “Rebħa tiegħu Streak titkellem volumi, speċjalment fil-punent nofsani minħabba ħafna mill-guys inti ġlieda huma pjuttost simili fil-qawwa u s-sengħa sett, hekk ikollok l-kompetizzjoni iebsa u promoturi lokali fil-punent nofsani huma dejjem tfittex li jitpoġġew fuq tissielet tajba. A Guy li hija 11-2 (Blumer) u fuq 5-ġlieda win Streak huwa impressjonanti lili u huwa eżattament dak li nixtieq.”

Curran tkompli tispjega, “Ma rridx biex jiġġieldu xi BUM jew għall-ġlieda xi ħadd I know I tista 'taħbit. Irrid li jiġġieldu xi ħadd li jista 'jisfida lili u let me know jekk I għadhom jappartjenu fil-logħba jew jagħtu me l-sens dritt ta' tlestija jekk nirbaħ, hekk Blumer s avversarju kbir. Blumer hija iebsa. I jagħtih rigward biżżejjed biex iħarrġu ħmar tiegħi off u jikkura lilu bħala top għaxar Guy. Iżda ma 'dak li qal, Naf jien aqwa għaxar kalibru, hekk jien jġibu kollox sibt u naħseb li se tagħmel għal ġlieda tajba.”

U dak li huwa pass li Curran ta jmiss b'rebħa? Anke hu ma jkunx ċert, “I do not know dak pass li jmiss tiegħi huwa. I ma tagħmel definit mod deċiżjoni jew ieħor. Biex inkun onest, I know I meta mitlufa, irtirar ma tajbin tajjeb miegħi, iżda bil-dritt jirbaħ l-aktar probabbli jista, iżda fl-istess ħin mal-win dritt, I jistgħu jiksbu l-attenzjoni tal-UFC u tiddeċiedi jekk irrid li chase ewwel rebħa tiegħi UFC.”

Fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6, Curran u jaraw kulħadd se tkun qed tistaqsi x'inhuma l- “Big żrinġijiet tal-” venture li jmiss fil-ħajja se jkun.
