Zbigniew Borkowski beat Wally Bryant by Knock Out (Punch) in 1:13 of round 2 (Decent)

The Polish Muscle Mountain dominated the fight from the start and Wally the Giant had problems to defend himself against the powerful strikes and kicks. The Pole used his footwork to perform hit and run attacks on the less mobile Giant. Already in the first round the Giant went down after walking into a hard right hook. The Giant managed to get up and continue the fight, but was hit by another hard right hand in the 2:nd round with a Knock Out win for the Pole as a result.


Clarence Gibson beat Odysseus Jones by TKO (Strikes) in 1:19 of round 1 (Good)

Right from the start "The Black Butterbean" unleashed a barrage of strikes on O.J. Odysseus couldn't defend himself against the strikes and went down hard.


James Thomas beat Wendell Love by Unanimous Decision (Poor)

James Thomas tried to get the slugfest on, but Wendell Love used slippery eel tactics and dirty boxing to keep his opponent away. The more active James Thomas finally won by Unanimous Decision.


Logan Sky beat Jasper Osmond by TKO (Strikes) in 2:56 of round 1 (Great)

Jasper Osmond trapped his young opponent in a clinch and punished him with dirty boxing and powerful elbow strikes. After taking a severe beating, Logan Sky managed to counter with a barrage of hard rights sending Osmond straight down.


Stan Blackheath beat Vincent Chapin by Unanimous Decision (Fantastic)

A very exciting slugfest with both fighters swinging wildly from the first second.


Steve Mason beat Frank Analysis by Knock Out (Punch) in 2:47 of round 2 (Fantastic)

The aggressive Analysis tried to down his opponent by stand and bang, but Steve Mason used footwork and technical skills to keep distance. In the 2:nd round Mason catches Frank Analysis across the side with a hard kick and then hits a right uppercut. Analysis is laid out cold.



Fight of the Night: Stan Blackheath vs. Vincent Chapin

Ukrainian Top Team, (205lbs), Kickboxing vs. Kickboxing, (205lbs), Champions Martial Arts

Stanislav Korablov is a feared striker and has a lot of experience of competing in tournament style events.

Las Vegas Combat Club, (205lbs), Mixed Martial Arts vs. Mixed Martial Arts, (205lbs), Champions Martial Arts

The local fighter Kyle Atkins has the hometown support against the less experienced Drew Jenks. Atkins looks like wildman and his nickname "The Pitbull" describes his aggressive fighting style.



http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee489/asaemon/WMMA3/Country%20Flags/eng.gif Tucker Plumm (13-7) vs. Paul Pickett (19-5-1) http://i1230.photobucket.com/albums/ee489/asaemon/WMMA3/Country%20Flags/usa.gif (Qualification Fight 4)

UK MMA Factory, (205lbs), Karate vs. Mixed Martial Arts, (205lbs), Fight Factory

Tucker Plumm has dangerous head kicks and is the favorite in this fight. Paul Pickett will take on the role as underdog.



The Rivalry Continues

King of the Ring will lose veteran fighter Vincent Chapin to the rival promotion Fight Force. Chapin put up a very good fight in the Fight Night 3 event and was offered an extension, but Fight Force and ALPHA-1 offered more with the result of Chapin signing for Fight Force. King of the Rings other rivals, World Fighting Association just went down from Low Level National to High Level Regional which makes King of the Ring the second biggest promotion in the United States.

Roster Update

20 year old kickboxer Brandon Lau (0-3) left for rivals Fight Force. Not a big loss, since the big roster and depth in the Super Middleweight Division. Added to the Super Heavyweight Division is 25 year old Polish MMA fighter Tytus Adamczyk (0-0). A few more fighters to the Heavyweight Division would be great, but the market is very limited at the moment.
