King of Kombat Returns August 29, not August 22

Updated 5/21: King of Kombat has moved their next show not only to August 29, rather than the previously announced August 22, but they will also be at a new venue, The Austin Music Hall. No word if the venue will be called The Austin MMA Hall for the show. A very exciting lineup of fights is being promised but nothing has been announced yet. Stay tuned!

Thank goodness it’s the weekend AFTER the Texas Testosterone Festival. That would just be entirely too much manliness in one weekend. Perhaps the second most vital event for you to attend in August (cough, cough), King of Kombat will return to the Crockett Center on Saturday, August 22.

The announcement comes on the heels of King of Kombat 6 being featured on HDNet’s terrific Inside MMA show and King of Kombat promoter Ron Hernandez being interviewed by Steve Sievert for MMAJunkie.com. (Sievert will be interviewing the UFC’s Amir Sadollah live on stage at The Texas Testosterone Festival.) MMAJunkie.com does tend to put up some highlights from Inside MMA so keep your eyes peeled for King of Kombat 6 highlights to possibly make their way online there.

Fight speculation for the King of Kombat 7 card should begin now… fights we’d like to see?

Welterweights: A rematch between Mikel Bronzoulis and Kamal Shalorus for the Welterweight title should be at the top of the list for just about everyone. Brian Cox won by brutal KO on the last show and would be great to have back. Not sure of too many people who would want to fight him though.

Lightweights: Nick Gonzalez defending his Lightweight title against Todd Moore or Moore throwing down with Duece King for a vacant title if Gonzalez is committed to Bellator. Derek Campos is 3-0 and is probably one win away from being able to contend. Is Lane Yarbrough that test?

Middleweights: Chris Spicer is everyone’s favorite Texas middleweight and while he hasn’t fought for KoK before, he’s active and has fought for nearly everyone else. Ken Laney must be itching to return to the King of Kombat cage since his last opponent didn’t show for KoK 6. Would Brandon Farran move up to 185 to take either of these guys on?

Heavyweights: Darrill Schoonover just keeps winning. He also hasn’t fought for KoK before but he’s active and there must be a Heavyweight out there to give Schoonover a big test before he’s called up to one of the national shows. Joel Traves?
