Here’s a rundown of the card:
Main event: Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford vs. Nick “Juggernaut” Hinchliffe
Ryan Ford is coming off a highlight reel victory over former UFC standout Karo Parisyan, and is looking to give an old fashioned E-town beatdown to the nationally-ranked “Juggernaut.” Hinchliffe’s losses are at the hands of current UFC stars Rory Macdonald and UFC veterans Victor Valamaki and Kalib Starnes. A Facebook battle has been brewing between these two Canadian standouts and they will both enter the cage with the goal of knocking each other out.
Shane Campbell vs. TBA
Shane Campbell was looking forward to displaying his amazing skills against “Cowboy” Myles Merola. However, the “Cowboy” broke his hand and the search for a replacement is in full swing.
Luke Harris vs. John Troyer
Submission specialist and Hayabusa owner Luke Harris looks to continue his meteoric rise to stardom as he faces his toughest test to date in Bellator veteran John Troyer. Troyer’s fights have only gone to the judge’s score card twice over 18 fights. This fight will surely not be left in the judges’ hands.
Jason “The Highlight Reel” Gorny vs. Elmer Waterhen
This fight has all the making of “fight of the night.” Gorny showed off his standup skill in a victory over Trent Thorne at the last Aggression show with a second round TKO. Elmer is a true veteran of the sport with fights against current UFC fighters Rory Macdonald, Jesse Bongfeldt, and Jason Heit. These two fighters will be swinging for the fences.
Stephan Beaumont vs. James Haddad
Both fighters put their perfect records on the line as these two lightweights slug it out for pride. Beaumont trains out of Legends Training Center with UFC fighter Ryan McGillivray in Edmonton.
Rio Wells vs. Mark Burns
Former CFL standout Rio wells is getting back in the cage after his first career loss. Rio has been training at Legends Training Center under the guidance of black belt coach Paulo Azambuja. Standing in his way is Heart and Soul fighter Mark Burns. Burns won his last fight by rear-naked choke after being caught in two seemingly inescapable arm bars.
Paapa Inkumsah vs. Dejan Kajic
This fight pits two extremely well-rounded fighters against each other in Paapa, who represents Gracie Barra, and Dejan, who represents Dynamic MMA in Vancouver. Paapa is looking to avenge his last loss at the hands of one of Dejan’s teammate.
Levi Kump vs. Matt Trudeau
World muay thai champ Kump fights out of Frank Lee’s MMA in Edmonton, and will make his MMA debut against well-rounded Trudeau, who trains out of Dynamic MMA in Vancouver.
Mark Sawka vs. James Edwards
Sawka is a fighter who is well-versed in every aspect of the sport. Edwards, who trains under the guidance of current UFC star Claude Patrick, looks to make his pro debut and spoil Sawka’s vision of victory in his hometown.
