Donnie Bell ready to be all over Brad Mitchell in order to win XKO welterweight title tonight


ARLINGTON, TX, October 20, 2012 – “I’m just ready to get back into the cage,” says Donnie Bell about his upcoming main event fight tonight with Brad Mitchell at Xtreme Knockout 16 (XKO 16).

The 22 year old upstart was riding the wave of a 3-fight win streak and 6 wins out of 7 fights overall before falling to Clayton Robinson by decision at Legacy FC 13 this past August.

“I’m not trying to take anything from Clayton,” he says about that fight. “I think he did his game plan to the T and came out on top, but I still feel I beat myself.”

“Bomber” Bell came away from that loss even more motivated than before and never missed a beat, continuing on with a training camp that he says has been his hardest since the last injury that sidelined him some time back.

He says he’s ready as ever for the welterweight title he and Mitchell will be fighting for tonight. He says he wants to make sure people remember him by his performance and he’s been training so he can do just that.

“I think my stand up has got a lot better. I’m working on my ground game with Allen Mohler too.”

“Brad Mitchell he is a striker with over 20 fights combined as an amateur and pro. I know he has knockout power but I feel good. I feel good I’ve had a great fight camp and I feel I’m more will rounded so I know i can do great wherever the fight goes. I don’t know how it will go for sure but I’m not letting the judges decide. I’m going to be all over you till you give up or your body gives up.”

“I would love to thanks all of my sponsors for this fight Born2Bang, ROBUST ENERGY DRINK,VIP MouthGuard, Randy King Insurance, Titans Contractors, Partytapper.com, and most of all I have to thank God. Now it’s just time to get in there and perform.”
