Icon Sport: “All In”
Icon Sport: “All In”
Press Conference, Weigh-In, Updated Card
Icon Sport is ready to go “All In” with its huge fight card this Friday, February 9th at the Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii. With the NFL’s Pro Bowl just a day later - and a sudden rush of VIP ticket sales - ringside seats at this event will surely will be filled with football’s premier performers.
The 14-fight, action-packed “All In” card will not disappoint the NFL’s best, nor the thousands of other fans in attendance.
In the main event, “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler (Pictures), on the hunt for the Icon belt now worn by Frank Trigg (Pictures), must first survive one-punch knockout threat Trevor “The Project” Garrett. Also on the main card, pro boxer Jeremy “1/2 Man, 1/2 Amazing” Williams returns. Williams holds the notoriety of being the first “legitimate” American boxer to transition to the world of MMA. Middleweight star Charuto Verissimo and top-ranked Heavyweight Scott Junk (Pictures), each having signed multi-fight contracts with Icon, make their Icon debuts. Rounding out the main card, former all-state Castle H.S. quarterback, Chico Cantiberos, makes his first defense of the 145-lb State Title.
Media and general public is invited to both of these events:
