Exclusive: WBC Champ Tiffany “Timebomb” Van Soest Says She Is Cage Bound, Wants To Fight MMA | MMA NEWS

Crowned WBC Intercontinental Champion Tiffany “Timebomb” Van Soest signed a multiple fight deal with Lion Fight promotion and talks with BJPENN.com’s FIST-ta-CUFF radio before the 1st fight of her new contract for the New Year where she takes on 4x World Champion Alexis Rufus at a catch weight January 25 at Lion Fight 8.

The “Timebomb” was doing some late night cardio which explains the reason she sounded out of breath during the interview.   Tiffany mentions she would jump at the opportunity to train and compete at Thailand.

“It’s the place where Muay Thai started and it’s a beautiful country.”

Her goal for the year is to defend the belt or get an opportunity to get another belt regardless of the weight division – she’s willing to move up or down.

“Let’s start my belt collection.”

MMA is also in the Timebomb’s sights mentioning she has 2 amateur fights under her belt, cross training in wrestling and  does a little bit of jiu jitsu off and on.

“If I get the call, I would love to.  Look forward to seeing me in the cage.  I can’t put a time stamp on when but it will happen.”

Listen to Tiffany “Timebomb” Van Soest’s full interview in the player below.

“LION FIGHT 8” premieres LIVE on AXS TV stamping Lion Fight as a national Muay Thai promotion.   The event will be held inside the world famous “The Joint” in the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas on Friday, January 25th and will go live on AXS TV starting at 10:00 p.m. ET.

  1. The natural says:

    Wow ten times better looking the Rhonda

  2. chardt says:

    as long as she can fight..who cares what she looks like…I suspect it’ll be the same story as all the other pro boxers looking to get into mma….no ground game, and they think they’ll just knock everyone out…and get owned.

    But hey, good luck to her, and hopefully she’ll be around to deepen the division.
