Primm Valley Casino Resorts Present WCK Full Rules MuayThai Aug. 28, 2010 at the Star of the Desert Arena

Primm, Nev. (PRWEB) July 30, 2010

Buffalo Bill’s Resort & Casino presents nine full rules Muay Thai bouts, headlined by exceptional WBC MuayThai US National Super heavyweight championship fight between Rick Cheek and Steven Banks.

On Aug. 28, two 260-pound, 6’4’ and 6’5’’ fighters will step into the ring to claim the WBC MuayThai US National Super Heavyweight Title. With a record of 23 wins (20 knockouts), two losses and one draw, Rick Cheek is a formidable opponent for Steven Banks, who just came off two wins by knockout himself. In the ring, watch Cheeks’ hand speed countered by strong elbows and knees from Banks.

WCK MuayThai brings Jeri “Fists of Fury” Sitzes of Missouri to represent the U.S. against a Korean fight and entertainment star, Sujeong Lim in the WBC MuayThai International fight title. Sitzes, well known as a Strikeforce fighter, who TKO’ed Lacey Schuckman in round three, is also one of the top female boxers in the US. She now has a flawless record of 12 wins with no losses. Sujeong Lim has a record of 25 wins and 5 losses. She was the Gold Olympic Taekwondo medalist at the Beijing Olympics of 2008 and the muay thai bantamweight champion in South Korea.

Shawn Yarborough will represent the US, when he defends his IKKC MuayThai international belt against the national champion from South Africa, Mawande Vapi. Vapi’s current record stands at 22 wins (19 by KO) and two losses.

William Sriyapai, one of the most decorated US fighters, and a K1 competitor, will step into the ring with Raul Rodriguez of Bakersfield, Calif. Sriyapai was inducted into Master’s Hall of Fame this year in Las Vegas. Rodriguez left a memorable impression when he won against Bryce Krause in Las Vegas last year.

Three-time French Muay Thai champion Remy Bonnel is best known for taking on and winning against Duane Ludwig, Jerry Morris, Trevor Smandych and Peter Kaljevic among others. With a record of 57 wins and seven losses, he might pose a serious hurdle for Las Vegas fighter Chaz Mulkey. However, Mulkey’s last fight against Menno Dijkstra (32-4 record), showed that clinch and elbows come to Mulkey as easy as breathing.

Scotty Ray Leffler will put up a first round of defense of his IKKC National Welterweight belt against Justin Greskiewicz. Leffler won the title this April on the WCK MuayThai card by a TKO in the second round from James Martinez, known as the American pick for the WMC sanctioned “Contender Asia” Muay Thai reality TV show.
