  - NOT SO FAST, BARONI'S NEXT FIGHT NOT SET
Saturday, January 12, 2008 - by Ken Pishna - MMAWeekly.com
Fledgling Japanese mixed martial arts promotion World Victory Road on Friday announced that Phil Baroni would face Sanae Kikuta at its March 5 event at the Yoyogi National Stadium Gym in Tokyo.
That announcement however seems to have been a bit premature. MMAWeekly.com spoke with Baroni’s manager, Ken Pavia of Pavia, Ciscone & Associates, who said the fight has not yet been signed.
“World Victory Road is a viable possibility, but we have several other offers on the table and we have to weigh all of our options to make sure that we make the correct move for Phil.”
The proposed fight against Kikuta would be Baroni’s first since returning from a suspension following his June 22 bout against Frank Shamrock while fighting for Strikeforce.
“World Victory Road has made an attractive offer,” continued Pavia, “but at this point, we just haven’t had enough time to weigh all of our options and make a decision.”
Baroni and Pavia will be considering the options and an announcement regarding Baroni’s next fight should be forthcoming soon.
