Tyrone Spong to make MMA return at World Series of Fighting 22

"The King of the Ring" will return to the MMA cage at World Series of Fighting 22 on Aug. 1 in Las Vegas, WSOF executive vice president Ali Abdel-Aziz told MMAFighting.com on Tuesday. The three-sport star's opponent is yet to be determined, but he'll be competing for WSOF for the first time since August 2013.

Spong (2-0) is best known for his GLORY exploits -- he's one of the best kickboxers in the world. The Suriname native also won his first two pro boxing matches back in March. Spong has been recovering from a broken leg he sustained during a GLORY fight with Gokhan Saki in April 2014.
