AGGRESSION FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIPS 9 WILL ROCK THE SHAW CONFERENCE CENTER THIS FRIDAY JUNE 8TH WITH ANOTHER STELLAR CARD
Local Edmonton firefighter makes his return to MMA and supports anti-bullying charity with fight proceeds
Press Release – June 6, 2012 – Aggression Fighting Championships (AFC) is only a few days away from rocking the Shaw Conference Center, this Friday June 8th with its 9th spectacular card that is being headlined by the company’s vacant Lightweight Title Belt.
Looking to be crowned the new king of the 155-pound division will be the winner of the bout between Edmonton native Stephen “Big Bad” Beaumont, who is undefeated at 5-0, and Red Deer’s Evan Sanguin, who is 7-3.
The semi-main event will feature Tim Chemelli (8-2) versus Simon “The Mutant” Marini (9-3). Also, Tim Chemelli makes his 3rd straight appearance with AFC looking to stop a resurging Simon Marini, who remarkably debuted at 155 lbs and is now fighting at 205!
In addition, local Edmonton firefighter Mike Newton makes his way back to the sport that he is so passionate about. Mike, who has not fought for the last few years while pursuing a firefighting career with the Edmonton Fire Rescue Service, is ready to make his return by donating his entire purse to the Donnan BJJ Program, which includes a close relationship with the national Anti-Bullying Campaign. AFC will match the purse donated by Mike as the charity is for an incredible cause – to rid schools of bullying.
Other fights on the card include:
