Due to various injuries to several main event fighters the WCK has decided to push back its December 11th event to early next year.

Perhaps the injury occurred to Julie Kitchen, she was forced to withdraw from her bout with Miriam Nakamoto. Nakamoto the United States biggest female Muay Thai fighter was looking to test her mettle against Kitchen, a legend in Muay Thai.

Fight Card for WCK Muay Thai Dec. 11th at the Las Vegas Hilton, Kitchen vs. Nakamoto no longer main event

The originally scheduled event for WCK Muay Thai at the Las Vegas Hilton on Dec. 11th has been postponed due to an injury to Julie Kitchen. Stepping into the main event slot will be a WBC Muay Thai title fight with champion Craig Buchanan taking on challenger Jack Thames. The fight is a rematch after the pair had previously met earlier this year in April where Buchanan took home a split decision. Thames has worked his way back up the ladder by claiming two stoppage victories due to elbows in his last two fights.

In one of the other pro title bouts Justin Greskiewicz and Scotty Leffler will finally meet. They were scheduled to meet back in August but an injury to Leffler forced him to pull out of the fight. Greskiewicz has stayed active since the original bout was supposed to take place and has recorded a controversial draw with Byoung-Ku Park at WCK Muay Thai @ Pala, and a TKO victory due to leg kicks in November at Friday Night Fights NYC. It should an interesting match up as both fighters are exciting to watch but their styles differ quite a bit with Leffler being more of a power puncher and Greskiewicz relying on speed and timing.
