Roufus, Kimbo, Tank Scheduled for Sept. CFFC Card

As if the September 29 Cage Fury Fighting Championships card wasn't good enough with a Kimbo Slice-Tank Abbott main event, CFFC will reportedly host the MMA debut of American kickboxing icon Duke Roufus, who will be taking on Derek Panza.

Throughout his illustrious kickboxing career, Roufus has been WKA North American Superheavyweight champion, as well as WKBA, IKF, KICK, and WAKO World Superheavyweight champion.

Good luck, Mr. Panza.
