British athlete, Chi Lewis-Parry  has signed with GLORY and will make his debut at the upcoming GLORY 20 DUBAI event on Friday, April 3rd.

The current ONE FC heavyweight athlete, who is 4-0 inside the cage, will debut against rising Californian talent Xavier Vigney (6-1, 6 KO’s) on the GLORY Superfight Series 20 section of the card.

Lewis-Parry stands at an astounding 6ft 9inches, weighs 265 lbs which also explains why he also used to be an ex-professional Basketball Player, (click here on earlier interview), he then transitioned into K1 early 2011 and eventually MMA. The rest we say is history.

I spoke with Chi earlier today who had this to say about his new signing:

Glory World series and myself are not too dissimilar. We’re both heavyweight at what we do.

Glory is the premier promotion for K1 competition in the universe and I come to smash.  I love this shit!

GLORY 20 DUBAI and GLORY Superfight Series 20 take place on Friday, April 3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The former airs in the US on Spike TV at 10pm ET while the latter airs via tape-delay on the CBS Sports network on Friday April 10 at 11pm ET.

Matt Dwyer’s spectacular superman punch Knockout of William Macario UFC Fight Night 61


 

 

If by any chance you did not manage to catch the UFC Fight Night 61: Porto Alegre Prelims last night, then you missed an awesome ‘Superman’ punch Knockout by Matt Dwyer.

Although Dwyer was very much the ‘underdog’ in this prelim fight against William Macario, it does go to show, anything can happen in MMA.
