Kevin Burns headed to Europe

phyteguru — Wed, 28 May 2008 17:24:55 +0000

It’s always unfortunate when a fighter gets injured and is unable to compete. It does however, leave a slot open for someone else to fill. In this case, Kevin “The Fire” Burns (5-1) is the lucky guy. Team Quest fighter Ryo Chonan has pulled out with an injury so Burns is stepping up to fight extremely tough Roan Carneiro. The laundry list of fighters from Des Moines making it to the big shows is getting longer and longer. Burns has a recent first round KO victory over MCC champ Bobby Voelker and looks to improve. Will his jiu-jitsu and cardio be enough to get past Carneiro? Be sure to watch UFC on Pay-Per-View June 7th to find out.

Burns Blazes Through Competition at VFC

Kevin “Fire” Burns (5-1) expected an all out blood-bath against Bobby Voelker (13-3) at May 9th’s Victory Fighting Championships in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Luckily, Burns escaped the cage unscathed in less than a minute with a brutal KO that left Voelker wobbly even after exiting the cage. Burns, known for his ground game, had not had a TKO since 2006 against the always exciting Demi Deeds. This leaves us with two questions. Where does Burns stand now? And who will he face next?

Only one way to find out. …STAY TUNED!

VFC returns to Mid-America Center in May

Victory Jay continues to do what he does best. His last show sent the uber-tough Ryan Roberts to UFC Fight Night 13. Previous shows sent Chad Reiner, Ryan Jensen, Spencer Fisher and many more to the big show.

May 9th will showcase two exciting, well-known fighters from the Midwest. Bobby Voelker (13-3) is set to face Kevin “Fire” Burns (4-1) as the nights main event. Both fighters have faced some of the best competition around; will we see another Midwesterner get a chance in the Octagon?

Be sure to make it to the Mid-America Center on May 9th to see how this epic battle ends. Will Burns blaze through Voelker or will Bobby put an end to Kevins hot road to victory?
