 KOTB 7: Supremo
The King of the Beach promotion is proud to present their biggest card to date, with two title fights on the line for the first time in promotion history. KOTB 7 will also look to set an attendance record for the promotion, as 2000 fans are expected to fill Hayashi’s Lounge on Saturday night.
Eric Ashton (5-1, 0-0) v "The Pharaon" Ramses Xll (0-0, 0-0)
Opening the main card will be an intriguing fight in one of KOTB’s stronger weight classes, the middleweight division. British grappling sensation, Eric Ashton, will be looking to move immediately into title contention with a victory over another highly regarded newcomer, Ramses XII. The Egyptian fighter has an extremely well rounded skill-set on paper but he has yet to test his skills as a professional fighter, so there are some unknowns there. This one might come down to whether or not Ashton can get the takedown, as his ground and pound is nothing short of lethal.
Bruce “The Great” Zimbardo (4-1, 2-1) v Lane “Heman” Herman (4-0, 1-0)
Up next is a super-heavyweight match destined to fireworks, as Bruce Zimbardo looks to rebound from his title fight loss at KOTB 3 against undefeated Lane Herman. Zimbardo is a very large striker with a devastating kicking game, so look for Herman to try and get this fight to the floor and make it five straight first-round submissions to start his career. Both fighters appear to be on the brink to contention, so this is a high stakes matchup for them.
“The Little Ginger Prince” Chris Karter (2-1, 1-0) v Anderson “The Boa Constrictor” Gracie (1-0, 0-0)
The first-ever featherweight champion will emerge from the ring after American Chris Karter takes on hometown newcomer Anderson Gracie. Karter will be to continue the success of his KOTB debut, a 12-second ‘knockout of the night’ performance, while Gracie’s gameplan is simple, get this to the floor and show the crowd why they call him ‘The Boa Constrictor.’ Whoever emerges champion has a number of contenders waiting for them in a young but competitive division.
Simon Sims (5-1, 0-0) v Ronaldo “The Machette” Lima (2-0, 1-0)
The fact that this next fight is the co-main event over a title fight says a lot about the two competitors. Australian-born, English-raised kickboxer Simon Sims makes his debut for the promotion, but is already looking for the sixth TKO victory in his young career. He’ll be taking on a Brazilian grappler in Ronaldo Lima, who made an impressive KOTB debut with a first round submission of John Mandrake. The winner of this fight will likely have a future date with newly crowned champion, James Diaz.
Sandu “Big Bear” Lungu (4-0, 1-0) v Guy Mourtneant (4-1, 0-0)
Our main event is probably the biggest fight in KOTB history, as the super-heavyweight belt looks to find a home when Romania’s Sandu Lungu takes on France’s Guy Mourtneant. Lungu has a distinct size advantage and showed great athleticism and determination in his debut for the promotion, a ‘fight of the night’ victory over Alo Jiminez. Mourtneant will be making his debut for the promotion, but has an exceptional wrestling attack, and is the highest ranked fighter the promotion has ever signed. Big things are expected out of both fighters, but only one of them will emerge as a champion Saturday night.
