ActionView International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:AVEW) and its wholly owned MatchFights LLC subsidiary today announced the fight card for the World Championship Full Contact (WCFC) event to be held September 4, 2010 at The Scrapyard in Ogden, Utah. WCFC is the mixed martial arts organization operating under the company's wholly-owned subsidiary, MatchFights, LLC.
The fight card will feature two professional matchups. Steven Siler (14-5-0) from the Riven fight team is matched up against James Francis (6-8-0), who trains at Body Dynamics, and Dave Castillo (8-2-0) from Jeremy Horn's Elite Performance gym will fight Jon Walser (7-3-0) of Xtreme Combat. Both of these fights are at the 155 pound weight class. Dave Castillo has fought twice before for the WCFC, his last fight being a victory over Ty Hamblin with a triangle choke. Jon Walser is another WCFC veteran, with his last fight resulting in a victory over Boogie Anton in the inaugural WCFC event.
WCFC has titled this event "The Beginning" because, for the first time in Utah, the fight card will include several amateur fights. Johnny Riche, head of fight operations for WCFC, commented on the Pro-Am nature of the card, "We are excited to feature a mix of top professional athletes and the best of the amateur ranks. There is simply a lack of quality organizations for young fighters looking to gain ring experience on their way to joining the pro ranks. A pro-am event lets us invite the best amateurs out there and give them a taste of what it's like to fight in front of a few thousand people with cameras rolling and fans going crazy. It's a different experience than the typical amateur shows held in bars and fair grounds. Our goal with the WCFC is to hold Beginnings pro-am events several times a month throughout the country and then hold a large-scale, all-pro title event on a quarterly basis."
The amateur portion of the September 4th fight card will feature David Putvin of Elite Performance versus Russell Evans of One Hit MMA at 145 pounds, Ken Brecke of Elite Performance versus Danny Gunn of Riven at 195 pounds, Parker Newman versus Tom Hester of The Academy at 175 pounds, Kiki Albino of Riven versus Matt O'Dell at 155 pounds, Georgy Kaytukov of Elite Performance versus Manuel Soto from One Hit MMA at 185 pounds, Terrel Sanders of Absolute MMA versus Steven Shimkus of One Hit MMA at 170, and Matt Buck versus Ricky Bax of Absolute MMA at 145 pounds.
The event will also include a female fight featuring Crystal Olsen of One Hit MMA against Cecile Jaskowiak of Kwamie Stephens Assassins at 130 pounds. Additional amateur matchups are expected to be added in the days leading up to the event.
