 STATEMENT BY KENDALL HOLT April 8, 2013 - I am pleased to announce that according to laboratory results I am not under suspicion of having taken a banned substance in connection with my bout against Lamont Peterson. We have received an email from Dr. David Eichner, Director of the WADA accredited Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory that my results "do not suggest doping." As explained to me, "intact HCB" indicates the use of that banned substance. A confirmatory test reflected that I did not have "intact HCB" and thus doping was ruled out in my case. There is an atypical finding for "non-intact HCB," which, as explained to me, is naturally produced.... Read more...

 April 5, 2013- Gary Shaw Productions wrapped up its lightweight featured card on ESPN 2 Friday Night Fights earlier this evening and it ultimately produced a couple of winners that could be well on their way to making an impact in the lightweight division.

Both fighters had to dig deep in the fight and unleashed bombs upon one another. Maicelo was moving well early on and his punches were delivered with bad intentions.

 Once again, when one of those sticky-fingered grapplers grabs ahold, it’s trouble for strikers, and so it was as Shinya Aoki defeated Kotetsu Boku to wrest the ONE Fighting Championship lightweight title on Thursday.

Despite the powerful kicks and punches in Boku’s arsenal, the grappler emerged victorious at 4:04 of round two. “I have managed to bring back the belt to Evolve,” said Aoki,... Read more...
