Malik Smith Title Defense Interview | Jack Hammer Promotions Fall Brawl 8

In the co-main event at Jack Hammer Promotion’s Fall Brawl VIII on October 28, 2018, at Mulcahy’s Pub and Grill in Wantagh, New York, Vinny Balsamello challenges Malik Smith for the K1 Jack Hammer Promotion’s heavyweight title. This is a rematch of a fight which was declared a ‘No Contest’ due to an early knee injury acquired by planting awkwardly. Rescheduling this fight between to exciting heavyweights was the first reaction promoter Bobby Campbell mentioned after the first fight.

Smith looks to defend his title against Vinny Balsamello again. After the first time they met, Smith suffered a knee injury in the early part of the fight which was unrelated to the fight. The bout was declared a ‘No Contest’ and immediately promotor Bobby Campbell was working to reschedule the rematch. Thankfully Smith’s injury wasn’t too server and the fight was rescheduled for Fall Brawl 8.

Smith, standing at 6’3″ tall, has the reach advantage over his opponent. Balsamello though enters the cage with a strong striking background and powerful strikes. This match-up in the co-main event has the potential for Fight of the Night and Fight of the Year honors.

In the interview with My MMA News Reporter and Carroll’s Corner MMA Podcast host, Kyle Carroll, Smith shows his sense of humor throughout the interview and tells a secret about himself at the end of the video. His charismatic personality is clearly a trait alongside Smith’s raw talent which earned him the Jack Hammer Promotion title.
