Striving for revival

Fighter profile of Vanilla Ice Cold by Aylib 2.0

To quote the Last Emperor: "One who never falls never gets up", and some have truly fallen. Vanilla Ice Cold, once an owner of 16-1 record (14 KOs, 1 Sub) is 0-3 in his last three fights. Prior to hitting this snag Ice Cold was ranked #4 in his weight class and appeared nearly unstoppable, suffering his only loss via submission, a loss that was attributed to Cold's manager's inexperience.

After signing with UPG, an organizatio laden with bantamweight talent, Ice Cold's level of competition doubled in its abilities and experience, and the results have shown: KO loss to #1 Rafa Silva, followed by two decision losses to Microscopic Hunt and Gegard Houllebecq, ranked 35th and 22nd respectively.

Cold's last fight took place on April 5th, 2013; since then Ice Cold has been working extensively on his Muay Thai, which was his Achillies Heel. While Ice Cold's strengths appear to be in his secondaries, lack of Muay Thai skills cost him two decision losses, and Ice Cold's camp made the decision to turn the Muay Thai from weakness to strength, and the next fight, against a MT fighter should be good indication as to where Vanilla Ice Cold stands in terms of his Muay Thai; Antti Hammer currently stands at #73 bantamweight and has sensational Muay Thai and wrestling.

The fight takes place on June 14th.
