Kunlun Fight got a TV deal in Europe with Eurosport and Canal+

Kunlun Fight agrees to European TV deal

KUNLUN FIGHT HAS BEEN MAKING WAVES IN CHINA WITH GREAT KICKBOXING EVENTS OVER THE LAST YEAR. THEY HAVE CONSTANTLY BROUGHT IN TOP TALENT TO FIGHT ON THEIR PROMOTION AND THE PRODUCTION IS TOP NOTCH.
Unfortunately for fight fans unless you live in China then it is rather difficult to watch the Kunlun Fight events. It seems that will not be a problem soon, as the promotion is looking to get their events broadcast all over the world. Kunlun Fight recently secured a deal with Amido TV productions. The events will start off by airing on Eurosport and Canal+ (France).

When events will start to air has not been confirmed yet, but fight fans can rest assured that the promotion has made getting their show in front of fans all over the world a top priority.

Fighters that have competed for Kunlun Fight include some of the best from both Kickboxing and Muay Thai. Buakaw, Yodsanklai, Sittichai, Albert Kraus, Enriko Kehl, and more. There are many out there that think Kunlun Fight could take Glory’s spot as most recognized Kickboxing promotion once they go international. It should be interesting how things develop.

Bellator Kickboxing's first show will be on 4/16




I think Patricky Pitbull is fighting Melvin Guillard on the MMA portion of this card. Hopefully we see some competitive fights instead of the usual squash matches Coker seems to love booking

Bellator kickboxing I like.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

I'll definitely check it out, although it seems like Coker should be focused on making Bellator better first.
