KOP 48: Cody Stamann v Farkhad Sharipov
Mar 26, 2016 6:00 PM ET

Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive!

Michigan prospect Cody Stamann looks to improve to 10-1 as he faces the Bellator veteran and tough out Farkhad Sharipov. Stamann looks to be a nice prospect but Sharipov is one if not the toughest opponents of his career.

These two men have been wanting to fight eachother for quite some time now, and now they finally get that chance! Does Anthony Mychael run his professional record to 2-0 or does Jonathon Walker push his record to 2-1?

Shawn “Tha Quick” Mack looks to further establish himself as one of the best Flyweights in Michigan and the surrounding states, as he takes on Michigan Top Teams Anthony Fleming who said He’s “not impressed” by Mack!! Who takes this one?

Heavyweight Chris Littlebear tries to keep his perfect record in tact as he takes on Bryn Tiemeyer, who is coming off of an injury and looking to make his record even!!

Moe Shatri and Trent McGuffin two of the most exciting and fastest rising stars in the featherweight division, meet in the KOP steel to prove who’s the best! Fight of the night candidate!!For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here

 

Pinnacle FC 13: Mazzota vs Hanna
Mar 26, 2016 7:00 PM ET

Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive!

The biggest regional match up of the year, possibly of all time, between the undefeated Rob Hanna (7-0) and the region’s next elite talent Dom Mazzotta (9-1) for the Pinnacle FC featherweight title.

This is one of the type of fights that I got into promoting for and am proud to sign off on. Both guys know what a win here means for their respective careers and both are coming fully expecting to bring home the win.

Before we get to the biggest main event in recent history, we have a stacked under card featuring another huge bantamweight professional showdown and a ton of great amateur match ups.

The Hodge/Mitchell match up is something MMA wet dreams are made of and the fact that both guys are on the rise at this point in their careers make it that much more substantial. Devonte Smith is stepping back inside the Pinnacle fences which is also very exciting because Smith is one of my personal favorites out there right now.

Fadi Shuman is making his return to fighting after a relatively long layoff (2014) and is playing zero games as he levels his sights on Anthony Romero. Romero put together a very impressive Pinnacle FC debut over Matt Shaffer, which you can watch here, and has a very high level, well rounded game for a guy with relatively limited experience. Keep your eye on this one.

Josh Fremd is a bad motherfucker and from the looks of it, he’s only getting better. He’s going to get a chance to prove me right by taking on the well traveled and rugged amateur veteran Jose Martinez which could very well be the sleeper fight on the evening.

These are some of the featured bouts of the evening but don’t sleep on Patton/Davis or Devore/Nemdari either.For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here

 

PA Cage Fight 23: Jim Jordan v Nate Van Tassel
Mar 26, 2016 7:00 PM ET

Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive!

Main Event: Jim Jordan vs Nate “Razzle Dazzle” Van Tassel Jim Jordan started his mixed martial arts career by blowing past everyone thrown at him on the local circuit, then in 2014 he decided it was time to go pro. Within a year he had fought 5 professional bouts and came out the victor all 5 times. His path to the top looked inevitable. Unfortunately, mixed martial arts is a business that to get to the top, you will face setbacks and adversity. Jim Jordan lost his next two fights, he didn’t get knocked out, he didn’t get knocked down, but at the end, it wasn’t his hand that was raised. Coming into his title defense at PA Cage Fight 23, Jordan felt positive energy off those two setbacks. He switched striking coaches, and now works with Don Cioffi. He said this gives him a new perspective in his offense.

He has been training at Swoyersville MMA since he started the sport, but he realized it’s time to expand his options and traveled to other gyms to get new looks and more variety of sparring partners. UFC veterans Carmelo Marrero and Don Cioffi dedicated themselves to find sparring partners equal to his next opponent and his longtime training partners Rex Harris and Richie Gates contributed to his all around game this camp and they always do.

Nate Van Tassel, coming off a tough loss to wrestling phenom Corey Bleaken, knows he is coming into a hostile environment. Being from Harrisburg, he has an 80 mile trip to make, but he won’t be making it alone. He has something many fighters would love to bring with them Gracie 717. It is a camp that has been so dominating as just this month alone the team is 6-0. Nate is an anchor of the team, training many of them for their battles, but now his focus is him; and Jim Jordan. For this fight he traveled to train at Renzo Gracie Philadelphia. With 8 career knockouts, many already know Nate can live up to his nickname ‘Razzle Dazzle.’

A main event that will be memorable for sure, this bout is as evenly matched as it can get. One of these excellent fighters will have their hand raised high and start a new climb to the top.

CO-MAIN EVENT: Richie Gates vs P.J. Sweda
On Monday, March 15th around 6pm, Pa Cage Fight co-promoter Paul Matreselva sent a text message to P.J. Sweda. It simply said ‘Hey man, what are you doing next Saturday night.’ P.J. Sweda replied, ‘Who, where and when.’ Since Richie Gates’ original opponent was out, within hours Sweda was in. Gates, like Sweda didn’t seem to care who the opponent was. He was scheduled to fight that night and when he found out his original opponent was out, and presented with Sweda, opportunity knocked and the bell was answered. Now don’t let the records fool anyone these are two of the BEST 155 lb fighters outside of the UFC!

Richie Gates has quickly become a fan favorite in Northeast Pennsylvania.Gates is coming off two crushing knockout wins from Pa Cage Fight 20 and Pa Cage Fight 21; the most recent only taking 28 seconds.

P.J. Sweda will be coming in from Philadelphia where he trains regularly at Stay Fly Muay Thai. He cross trains and hosts seminars at Joel Knott’s Bloomsburg MMA. He undoubtedly will showcase his world class striking Saturday, March 26th. Sweda, after agreeing to take the fight on just 12 days notice immediately took to Facebook. ‘Well the damn contract is signed, I took a fight on 12 days notice, up in weight and in MMA, a wise man once told me fighters fight!’ Sweda’s last muay thai fight resulted in a brutal knockout win. P.J. Sweda fought for the PA Cage Fight lightweight title vs. Jim Jordan in May of 2015, unfortunately for him, he lost the fight by unanimous decision; but at the end everyone was a winner because both fighters put on an incredible 15 minute fight.For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here
