WFL: Unfinished Business set for October 18 in The Netherlands

The World Fight League (WFL) has scheduled their second event "Unfinished Business"  for October 18th in The Netherlands. The event will feature some four man tournaments as well as super fights.

Sahak Parparyan is currently scheduled to fight Ibrahim El Bouni. Parparyan is on a bit of a slide as of late. After having won nine fights in a row from mid 2011 to late 2012, he has gone 2-5-1 in his last eight bouts. A win for Parparyan is needed here so he can start to get back to fighter many thought could make a serious run in the cruiser weight division.

Also in action will be Mohammed Khamal as he takes on Chahid Oulad. Khamal was one of the Kickboxing and Muay Thai's brightest young talents before stepping away from fighting at the age of 22 in 2012 after a win over Saiyok. He returned to action two years later in a fight against Sittichai Sitsongpeenong. He lost a decision in his return bout and has since fought only one defeating Kongfah Sitmonchai by decision.

Results and Recap: Glory 5

Glory 5 took place yesterday in London, England and it did not disappoint. In the night’s main event Tyrone Spong took on Kickboxing legend Remy Bonjasky. In the second round of their bout a right hook from Spong floored Bonjasky and ended the bout. It was a spectacular knockout for the hard hitting Spong who expressed interest in fighting Daniel Ghita, Gokhan Saki or Semmy Schilt next.

In the night’s co-main event Jordan Watson out pointed Steve Moxon to take home a unanimous decision victory. Watson was a step ahead of Moxon the entire fight and won his second fight under Glory.

UK super star Liam Harrison was surprisingly knocked out with a body shot by Mosab Amrani. Harrison and Amrani are two of the top fighters in their weight class word wide. It seemed like typical Harrison when the bout started as he began to work his patented leg kicks, but as Amrani closed the distance with some punches a left hook connected and ended Harrison’s night.

Road to Glory tournament winner Dustin Jacoby was stopped in his bout with Michael Duut. Jacoby was knocked down three times in the first round and under the Glory three knockdown rule the bout was stopped.

American Eddie Walker was defeated by Steve Wakeling in the second round. Wakeling from the start off the fight began to attack Walker’s leg with kicks. He scored a knocked down due to leg kicks in the opening round and ended the bout in the second round with leg kicks.
