Former Bellator Star to Make Pro Kickboxing Debut at Mountain Force Kickboxing 12

FORT HALL, ID — Fight night in Idaho just got a major upgrade. Nainoa Dung, the explosive former Bellator MMA fighter from Hawaii, is set to make his professional kickboxing debut at Mountain Force Kickboxing 12 (MFK 12) on Saturday, June 7 at the Timbee Hall Event Center in Fort Hall, Idaho. Dung will face off against seasoned striker Erik Teer in a marquee bout expected to deliver fireworks.

For Dung, this debut marks a new chapter in his fighting journey.

“I’ve fought on some of the biggest stages in MMA, but kickboxing is where I started—it’s in my blood,” said Dung. “I’m coming to Idaho to make a statement. This isn’t just a fight, it’s a warning to the entire division.”

His opponent, Erik Teer, is no stranger to the ring and welcomes the challenge of facing a fighter with Dung’s name recognition and power.

“Nainoa’s tough, no doubt. But this isn’t Bellator—this is my world,” said Teer. “He’s stepping into a pure striking arena now. Let’s see if he can handle someone who’s been doing this his whole life.”

MFK 12 is officially sanctioned by the ISKA (International Sport Kickboxing Association), one of the world’s leading regulatory bodies in combat sports. The same organization recently qualified and sent standout Mountain Force Kickboxing 10 fighter Daz Diaz, from Fort Hall, Idaho, to represent Team USA at the prestigious international kickboxing tournament in Bangkok, Thailand—a testament to the elite level of competition that Mountain Force is bringing to the regional scene.

“This card represents everything we’re building—real opportunities for fighters, a world-class atmosphere, and an unforgettable fan experience,” said Mountain Force owner and promoter Juan Pablo. “Having Nainoa Dung debut here shows how far we’ve come. And with ISKA sanctioning, we’re giving these athletes the highest level of recognition and oversight.”

The event will kick off with the Junior Warriors Kickboxing prelims, featuring young athletes eager to showcase their discipline and heart. The regular prelims will follow, spotlighting debut and rising amateur fighters ready to earn their place.

The main card features a lineup of top-tier kickboxers from Southeast Idaho, Utah, Reno Nevada, and Minot North Dakota, making this one of the most diverse and competitive events in Mountain Force Kickboxing history.

This event is expected to sell out—fans are encouraged to purchase early and experience the adrenaline live. With a high-profile main event and a night full of non-stop action, force fans are in for a treat.
