We have Yves Edwards from Texas. He's fighting Edison Berto, who is the brother of professional boxer Andre Berto. That should be another great fight as will James Thompson against Brett Rogers and Scott Smith against Kyle Noke. As you know Kyle Noke, who was the bodyguard for the “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, is signed with us. He had a great win in his last fight, and he'll be back.

Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about “Krazy Horse.’’ He is going to be opening the show. You've got two real street guys. In this one you have three. You have “Krazy Horse,’’ Tank and Kimbo. And hence the name Street Certified. The real name of this whole fight is “Cage Tested, Street Certified,” so we're excited.

(In the future), you're going to see a new young star that we think we have in Eric Bradley, who was a wrestler in college, a great wrestler in Pennsylvania and a Golden Gloves boxer. That's a new name we're bringing along that I think the fans are really going to be excited about. He is a good looking kid with an exciting style.

QUESTION: Tank, is there anything you can tell us about your book? Is it an autobiography? What is in the 600?plus pages?

TANK: My book leads up to the 18 months where I went to jail for beating up a cop's son. Then I got out of jail and fought in the UFC. It is kind of a real?life Rocky story.

QUESTION: Has the final chapter been written yet?

TANK: It's only 18. It ended 12 years ago, so that means there's more.

QUESTION: Gary, you mentioned Gary Turner, heavyweight contender over at Cage Rage, fighting Antonio Silva, who is currently recognized as the heavyweight champion of Cage Rage. Will that be a title fight?

SHAW: Yes. Yes, it will be. Let me just comment on title fights, non?title fights. I'm a fan of fighting, as long as two guys get in and fight, that's good enough for me. All my friends are champions.

KIMBO: I'm just staying tuned. Be ready to check me out on Feb. 16.

QUESTION: Kimbo, after your last fight when you resumed training, was it a continuation of what you had been working on? Are you continuing to learn different things? We know you want to showcase all the skills you say you possess. How did it play out right after that last fight as far as training?

KIMBO: We picked up where we left off and added more new stuff into my arsenal.

TANK: I'm looking forward to this Feb. 16 fight. Like I said earlier Kimbo's got (guts), heart and the street mentality. I can't wait to lay my ears back and get down with him. It's going to be fun for me. It's going to be a long night for Kimbo and a short one for me. But I can't wait. I wake up every morning and start laughing because I wish it was already Feb. 16.
