CHICAGO, 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.

This is the first I heard about the fights at 4th Street. I will try to go if I am off and sneek a cam in. I will need help uploading.

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.
