ABONGO VS KYLE – STRIKEFORCE 7/23
July 21st, 2010 | Published in EVENTS
Abongo returns to the Strikeforce cage on July 23 at the Comcast Arena in Everett, WA where he plans to continue his climb in the light heavyweight division against veteran brawler Mike Kyle (12-7-1).
Humphrey first made a name for himself when he won the heavyweight division as a part of Lil John’s team on “The Iron Ring”, a reality based fight show on the BET network. Humphrey boasts a 7-1-0 record with all of his wins ending in the first round via KO or TKO with the exception of his last fight against George Bush back in March which was a first round submission. “I have a ground game” Abongo told us, “I train my ground with Roberto Traven and I can take the fight anywhere it needs to go, I just happen to usually win by strikes”. Abongo’s only loss came against Brett Rogers when he was still fighting as a heavyweight. Since the Rogers fight, Abongo has dropped back to his natural weight division at light heavy and is back on the winning track. “This is going to be a good fight. Kyle is a tough guy and likes to stand so I am looking to put on a good show and make my way out of the Challenger Series and onto the main Strikeforce card.”
