Agon Wrestling Targeting First MMA-Style Event for October with Several MMA Fighters on Board

BAD MMA News — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 23:14:59 +0000

As the wrestling world continues to wait on the upcoming vote by the International Olympic Committee for the verdict for what will be the final sport added to the 2020 games, the community at large isn’t slowing its plans for overall growth. As first teased on MMAWeekly.com a few months back, promoters are mounting plans to put together a first-of-its-kind wrestling event that will mimic many major MMA shows, such as the UFC or Bellator, while also taking a page from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu events such as Metamoris. Sources have indicated to MMAWeekly.com that plans are coming together for the first event to be held on Oct. 22 at the Rio in Las Vegas for the first ever Agon Wrestling Championships. The promotion is apparently eyeing three possible match-ups, including a main event that could see a Bellator champion step back on the mats that he called home for many years. The main event currently in discussion with event promoters could pit former Olympian and two-time NCAA champion Ben Askren in a folk-style wrestling match against four-time NCAA champion (from four different weight divisions) Kyle Dake. The promotion hopes to crown the winner as the No. 1 contender in the world folk-style wrestling championship, with Olympic gold medalist Jordan Burroughs likely sitting as the top-ranked wrestler in that division. Other match-ups that are currently being pursued include current Bellator wrestler and former NCAA champ Bubba Jenkins against former teammate from Penn State Frank Molinaro, as well as NCAA All-American and current RFA champion Lance Palmer against Oklahoma State standout Jordan Oliver.

BAD MMA News — Sat, 20 Jul 2013 23:05:27 +0000

Matt Hobar and William “Bubba” Bush became new champions at Friday night’s Legacy FC 21 at the Arena Theater in Houston, but it was UFC veteran Leonard Garcia and world champion boxer Holly Holm that stole much of the night’s thunder. Hobar dominated his fight with Angel Huerta in the night’s main event, taking the fight to him. It didn’t take Hobar long to put Huerta on the mat and transition to his back, securing a fight-ending and title-winning rear naked choke. The victory put the Legacy bantamweight belt firmly around Hobar’s waist. Bush gave Larry Crowe little chance of becoming the promotion’s middleweight champion, putting him on the mat a couple of times in the first round.
