Tyrone Spong knocked out by former UFC fighter Sam Alvey in Karate Combat last weekend

Isn't this the guy with the record for the most UFC losses in a row? I'm talking the winner not Tyrone Spong.

 

Technically not, because he did have a draw mixed in the middle of his loss streak.

Meanwhile Mokaev is also relegated to fighting on Karate Combat. After all of his bolstering, he can´t even get a half decent MMA promotion to sign him? Amazing.

 

Me too, I have followed him since he turned pro in kickboxing and a guy like Alvey shouldn’t last past the first minute if Spong took the fight half serious. Spong haven’t fought kickboxing since he broke his leg against Saki in -14, that leg break put a lot of fear in his head.

 

Mokaev burned a lot of bridges and is delusional enough to out price himself with any other MMA org, he was begging UFC to take him back not long ago.

 

Spong is like the anti-Samson. The more hair he has, the weaker he is.

 

Crazy to think he was close to fighting Usyk at one point.

 

pretty much all of the K-1 guys from the 00s still hanging around are in pretty shape these days, and JLB is still lingering around from the early 90s. Shocking to see him in his current state.

 

Should’ve switched to boxing right after K1 folded instead of wasting his time in Glory. Could’ve been a decent CW.

Coincidentally Spong was the last opponent JLB looked world class against. 15 years ago. Crazy..... JLB should have retired after the Koichi Pettas fights in 2012-2013. Ending on a high note against a somewhat capable operator. It was clear by that point as evidenced by the Zimmerman and Kharitonov fights that he was over the hill by that stage.

 

Busted for PEDs though, right?

 

This is sad, always been one of my favourite fighters. Was a killer in his prime, and a talented fighter.

 

It's amazing enough that he managed to come back from that leg break and still rattled off a 14-0 record in boxing, quality of opposition and steroid use aside.

 

He was still in his physical prime when he started boxing, I guess that helped. But his level of activity was also impressive.
I am still surprised that he completely walked away from the sport. PED cheats always get a second opportunity in boxing.
