| http://www.mmamania.com/2010/6/15/1519372/bellator-signs-undefeatedCHICAGO, Ill. (June 15, 2010) -- Ron "The Monster" Sparks, an undefeated heavyweight KO artist and Kentucky native has signed on to fight in the "Local Co-Main Event" during Bellator 23 at the Fourth Street Live entertainment district in downtown Louisville next Thursday. Sparks, a longtime boxer and kickboxer who has also been training in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for the past four years, is a perfect 5-0 as a pro MMA fighter, including four first-round knockouts. Three of his fights lasted less than 40 seconds. He was originally scheduled to face the undefeated Bobby Lashley at tomorrow night's Strikeforce event in Los Angeles, but was freed up to sign with Bellator after Lashley withdrew from the fight late last month because of injury. "We are happy to have an up-and-coming heavyweight like Ron taking part in the Local Co-Main Event of our Louisville show," said Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "Ron knocks people out and fans love to see that in the heavyweight division, so Ron should put on a great show for the fans in Louisville." | |

| Sparks (5-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) meets Dave Hess (3-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) in the non-televised "local co-feature" bout.
Sorry Wolfy, your boy won't make it on TV. | |

| His fight will be made available soon I'd hope. He'd be a name I'd like Bellator to grab for their tournament. | |

I'm sure his 22 second KO of Hess will be available pretty soon. | |

| Bellator usually never televises extra prelims so I believe it if they don't, but Sparks is a fighter who would generate interest so you never know. | |
