WSOF 4 - Spong vs. DeAnda
Angel is from our gym, 11-2 (10 Kos). He's a tough, hard hitting guy with a lot of heart.
Sparred him a few times and he's got fast hands for a big guy, good combos and head movement. Big power but doesn't try to KO people in sparring.
He's like the "Mexicutioner" Joey Beltran from UFC.
Spong is only 1-0 in MMA, but a very prolific K-1 kickboxer. This one is gonna be a war.
This is the first I have heard of either, how much are they getting paid.Quote:

You're going to need more than big power and toughness to hang with a guy like that. He can fuck you up pretty quick.

Here's Angel going toe to toe with UFC vet James Irvin (a brutal striker in his own right), came up on the short end but a hell of a fight.
I'm looking forward to this now. Hopefully Angel will go to war with Spong and we'll get to see a great fight.
That fight looked over three different times.
Yes that's his highest profile opponent up til now.Quote:

And Jerry Rice, they are headlining a card that will be nationally televised on a MAJOR TV Network, so this isn't some little regional show.
Not surprised you haven't heard of Angel, but Tyrone Spong is a world famous kickboxer from K-1.
What network ?????
World Series of Fighting | NBC SportsQuote:

Fought his ass off and showed he had better hands than Spong, least in this fight.
