CAGE WARRIORS USA UPCOMING EVENTS
UNLEASHED – 23rd AUGUST @ UCF ARENA
The moment you have been waiting for has arrived – Cage Warriors USA and Xtreme Warriors Fighting Championships (XWFC) are excited to release details of their upcoming event, ‘UNLEASHED’ - predicted by many, to be the most exciting MMA event to come to Orlando.
This adrenalin packed event, hosted by none other than UFC star ‘Stephan Bonnar’, will take place on Saturday, 23rdAugust at the new, state of the art, UCF Arena – where doors will open at 5pm, and the first bout is scheduled to start at 6pm.
Over the past several weeks XWFC’s dedicated matchmakers have been working hard to produce a stacked fight card, that is certain to bring the house down and have the 6’500 capacity crowd screaming for more!
The main event of this exciting 12-bout, MMA fight card will be an explosive WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT, scheduled for 5 x 5 minute rounds, between Florida MMA sensations, Elite XC veteran MIKEY GOMEZ (7-4) and CHARLEY “Bam Bam” BLANCHARD (7-1).
Matchmaker, Samantha said “When Tommy & Dave said they wanted a welterweight title bout featured on the ‘UNLEASHED’ fight card, I immediately thought of Mikey & Charley – both fighters are tremendously experienced with wins over some exceptional opponents. They are incredibly dedicated, focused and committed to their MMA careers, bring a level of excellence both inside and outside of the cage, and they are definitely ready physically and mentally to take their careers to the next level. I am truly excited to be able to bring this title fight to XWFC.”
Also on the card will be Mark Serkez and Gareth Joseph, two of the most dominating 185’ers in Florida. They are set to battle it out, for what is expected to be a stand up brawl, as both fighters set their sights on a XWFC Middleweight title shot next year.
And, Bruce “The Noose” Connors (5-0) known by many as ‘The Guillotine King’ following 4 impressive wins by way of the guillotine, will take on submission specialist James “The Bones” Austin (4-0). This well matched bout holds no predictions other than - in the words of legendary ring announcer Michael Buffer, “someone’s ‘0’ has gotta go”.
XWFC are pleased to also welcome back Kevin Abrante and Brian Eckstein, who both successfully fought at Cage Warriors USA’s inaugural ‘Battle Royale’ event in March, and are expected to have their loyal fan base back on their feet, chanting their names, as they once again bring everything they have to the cage!
Mike Bruno, unarguably one of the toughest 145’ers in Florida, with an impressive 6-2 record, is also confirmed to make his XWFC debut appearance, along with MMA fan favorites Jason Carapelluci, Daniel Lovett, Jason Patino, Glenn Mincer, Zach Knight and Justin Goodall.
And as XWFC continues to support future MMA stars - Corey Krebs, Brandon Ocasio, Jim Alers, Jeremy LaRochester, Steve Mogerman and Slade Massie are confirmed to make their pro debut appearances on the card.
‘UNLEASHED’ is set to be an exhilarating night, with a combination of intensifying fights including a welterweight title bout, a star studded celebrity audience (announcements soming soon), an array of events leading up to the show PLUS prizes and competitions normally unseen at an MMA event.
Tickets will be released on Ticketmaster, Friday, 27th June 2008, and are expected to sell out fast.
Official event poster, fight card, ticket details and VIP guest list are expected to be released in coming weeks.
