(Janvye 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 (Ch), 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, Septanm 20, 2019, nan 4 Bears Casino in Newtown, North Dakota. (ValorBK1 replay available to watch at https://valorbk.com/events/)

Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (Kredi: La ap / Lucas Noonan)

 

SANTA MONICA (Mas 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 "ansasen an ach" 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 "sakaje" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko CRO jandam, 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 pou Ane a (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; ou, 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 ak Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvão, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary akVitaly Minakov,

JEFF CURRAN: Pa rele li yon reaparisyon!

VANDREDI MARCH 6TH Ap viv sou BEARINGS AXS televizyon

BY K. David Bena

Ch, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Sèlman gen yon sèl avyon de gè goumen pou tout sis nan pwomosyon sa yo ki kounye a anba parapli a Zuffa. Sa avyon de gè? Jeff “Big krapo” Curran.

Curran fini pran retrèt 19-mwa l ', li antre nan oktagòn lan nan RFA 24 sou Vandredi, Mas 6th nan Mystic Lake Casino la & Hotel nan Anvan Lake, Minnesota. Ap evènman an ap televize ap viv ak tout peyi sou BEARINGS AXS televizyon. Bantamweight nan veteran, Curran (36-16-1) pral teste kouraj l 'nan evènman an ko-prensipal kont torantueu Melvin Blumer la (11-2) ki moun ki touting yon 5-batay genyen tras.

Panse tounen nan 1991… Ki sa ou te fè? Oke, Curran te yon lajè-Peas 14-ane fin vye granmoun ki te deside nan tren jyu-jitsu. Curran eksplike, “Premye klas mwen, Mwen te aprann yon bagay yo rele 'penti etaj la’ tou li te ye kòm yon Americana ak mwen te konnen sa a, se sa m 'te vle fè ak mwen jis kontinye fòmasyon jyu-jitsu depi tout tan. Mwen te kenbe konsantre sou tèt mwen tankou yon atlèt ak yon avyon de gè ak yon sèl bagay kenbe ki mennen ale nan yon lòt.”

Vit-pou pi devan pou Out 16, 2013 nan RFA 9, Curran pèdi yon desizyon fann nan yon batay tit bantamweight kont Pedro Munhoz. “Mwen pran retrèt apre batay dènye mwen an RFA a. Mwen te goumen pou yon tit nan lemonn ak gen nan chak pi gwo montre nan espò a ak te goumen, nan tan sa a, pou 17 ane. Mwen jis te santi ke ak biznis mwen an ak jimnastik la, kote mwen te nan ki etap nan lavi m ', timoun mwen ak fanmi, Mwen te panse ke li te tan yo pran retrèt ou.”

Curran ajoute, “Men,, sitou, Mwen pa t 'vle yo dwe dezyèm pi bon, Mwen pa janm te vle fè mwayèn kòm yon avyon de gè. Yon fwa mwen te santi menm rèv la ale oswa te opòtinite a ale nan monte tounen nan ch la, al goumen mesye yo pi byen nan mond lan, Mwen te santi m li te pi bon yo sispann depi pwemye mwen kalite pase.”

Sepandan, apre atansyon enteryorite ak dezi a an dife yo kontinye batay, Curran deside etap tounen nan kalòj la. “Mwen te vle genyen batay la, genyen senti a, epi ale soti sou tèt. Mwen te santi m li ta yon reyèl fason admirab nan pran retrèt ou, men li pa t 'ale wout mwen. Se konsa, mwen pran retrèt – epi li pa janm chita byen avè m ',” Curran eksplike. “Ak tan an plis ki te ale nan, Mwen te santi m bezwen nan goumen. Mwen te kòmanse gade pou opòtinite ak RFA jwenn yon opòtinite pou m 'al goumen ankò. Se konsa, isit la mwen menm.”

Jungle wòl tankou yon moun k'ap fanmi, nonm biznis, antrenè, ak avyon de gè ta ka fè kèk moun nan tèt vire, men Curran eksplike, “Mwen te gen jimnastik mwen anvan m 'te gen batay premye mwen, Se konsa, mwen te toujou itilize yo responsablite nan divize tan mwen, men kounye a li nan yon anpil plis nan pwofondè-pase sa li itilize yo dwe paske konbatan mwen yo nan diferan nivo epi mande pou plis tan. Biznis se tou sou yon nivo diferan – epi mwen te gen de ti gason ki yo ap grandi pi vit pa jou a ak mwen gen madanm mwen. Genyen responsablite atravè Komisyon Konsèy la ak li nan plis pase sa li te orè-ki gen bon konprann pase tounen lè mwen te louvri yon lekòl. Yeah, li nan yon anpil nan Jungle, men mwen fè li.”

Atravè tout responsablite li, Curran kenbe konsantre pou batay kap vini li yo ak danjere Melvin Blumer la, “Genyen li tras pale komèsan, espesyalman nan Midwès la paske yon anpil nan mesye yo ou goumen yo trè menm jan an nan fòs ak konpetans seri, konsa ou jwenn konpetisyon difisil ak pwomotè lokal yo nan Midwès la toujou ap chèche mete yo sou bon batay. Yon nèg ki se 11-2 (Blumer) ak sou yon 5-batay genyen tras se enpresyonan m 'ak li nan ekzakteman ki sa mwen vle.”

Curran eksplike pi lwen, “Mwen pa vle goumen kèk bom oswa goumen yon moun mwen konnen mwen ka bat. Mwen vle goumen yon moun ki ka defi m 'ak kite m' konnen si mwen toujou fè pati nan jwèt la oswa ban m 'sans nan dwa nan akonplisman si mwen genyen, se konsa Blumer nan yon opozan gwo. Blumer se difisil. Mwen ba l 'ase respè nan tren manman bourik mwen an koupe ak trete l' tankou yon dis tèt nèg. Men, avèk ki yo te di, Mwen konnen mwen se dis tèt kalib, se konsa mwen pote tout bagay mwen te resevwa e mwen panse li pral fè pou batay la byen.”

Ak sa ki se pwochen etap Curran a ak yon viktwa? Menm se li ki pa sèten, “Mwen pa konnen sa deplase pwochen mwen an se. Mwen pa t 'fè yon definitif desizyon yon sèl fason oubyen yon lòt. Yo dwe onèt, Mwen konnen lè m 'pèdi, pou pran retrèt pa t 'anfòm byen avè m', men ak dwat a genyen li gen plis chans te kapab, men an menm tan an ak genyen nan dwa, Mwen ka jwenn atansyon a nan ch la epi deside si mwen vle kouri dèyè premye ch viktwa m 'yo.”

Sou Vandredi, Mas 6th, Curran ak ap gade tout moun ap mande sa ki nan “Big krapo la” antrepriz pwochen nan lavi yo pral.
