Strange....

Anyone else find it strange that Kala Hose is defending his title on the undercard? Should that at least be on the main card? I would be pissed if I was him.

Kala Hose only defends his Icon belt in Icon events. so, his first title defense will be in our Aug 2nd Icon. we are working on his opponent right now.
you know about the Icon MW belt curse? no fighter has ever successfully defended it. check this out:

Egan Inoue wins belt vs Joe Doerkson
next fight:
Egain Inoue loses belt to Masanori Suda
next fight:
Masanori Suda loses belt to Niko Vitale
next fight:
Niko Vitale loses belt to Robbie Lawler
next fight:
Robbie Lawler loses belt to Jason Mayhem Miller
next fight:
Jason Mayhem Miller loses belt to Frank Trigg
next fight:
Frank Trigg loses belt to Robbie Lawler

then…Lawler is stripped of belt for “non-defense” after more than a year of injuries that forced us to cancel 2 major Icon shows in 2007.

then…
Kala Kolohe Hose KOd Phil Baroni to win Icon belt.

the big question…
Can Kala Kolohe Hose be the FIRST to successfully defend the Icon MW belt on Aug 2nd?
