Scott is working on solidifying an opponent for Rafael as we speak. It looks as though he will fight a stand-up guy from Fresno. A boxer.
I don't think Fred Diaz's name ever came up as an opponent for Rafael, but if he's interested in the fight--he or his rep should contact Scott Adams. I met Fred only briefly, but he was a solid guy--and he proved he's not afraid to mix it up.
I will let you guys know this..we have made contact with the guy nobody thought we'd be able to track down..Kimbo Slice!
I got a hold of his manager in Miami, and he and Scott are talking about bringin Kimbo to WEC!!
The WEC continues to stay on the cutting edge and raise the bar for all US based promotions.
yes, it was. He's the cousin of Emmanuel Agustus a pro boxer from Florida. Agustus has been around--he was recently the subject of a horrrendous gift decision in Michigan on ESPN2 this past summer--where Teddy Atlas went off on the Michigan Commission--in any evnt--Kimbo is real..He's Agustus' cousin..Kimbo apparently spent some time in jail--he'se basically a miami area bodyguard/cooler/enforcer and is active in the night club scene down there..I know he's been talking of making the move to pro boxing--but we'll see--only time will tell.
it will be up he and his manager--but rest assured that if he doesn't fight in WEC--it will not be for a lack of effort on the WEC's part.
We'd like for him to come to next months show as a guest in advance of January's show--wher he'd make his debut--only time will tell--but know that the WEC is always working to bring you the best--or at least scariest!
