January 23rd, 2012 10:21 PM MSTRoy Jones, Jr. may share his name with one of the world’s most famous boxers, but the talented light heavyweight is now set to establish his own reputation in MMA within the Strikeforce® Challengers series. With a strong career record, and with finishes in all five of his victories, Jones, Jr. recently signed with the Zuffa, LLC-owned Strikeforce organization and is ready to see success as Mixed Martial Artist and as one of Authentic Sports Managements, The Blackzilians.
“Roy Jones, Jr. is someone to watch in the light heavyweight division,” said Glenn Robinson, Authentic Sports Management. “With the talented training team he has behind him, I believe he has huge potential and I’m confident he will make that known in Strikeforce”
A native of Waterloo, Iowa, Jones, Jr. (5-1) has been fighting professionally since 2009. He started off his career with five first round finishes in a row, with three coming via knockout, and two by way of submission. All six of Jones, Jr.’s fights took place in Iowa, thus his Strikeforce debut will be his first professional fight outside of his native state. Training out of Boca Raton, Fla. at Imperial Athletics and with the Blackzilians, he is motivated and ready to make his mark on the national fight scene.
