Steven Katz and CMA Fighting Present:
Evolution Fighting Championships 7
Summer Bash
Evolution Fighting Championships has been steadily making a name for itself, and is already one of the East Coast’s premier amateur Mixed Martial Arts promotions. Promoter Steven Katz has done an outstanding job of making each event better than the last, and on August 27, at the Rahway Rec Center in Rahway, New Jersey, he’s back with what promises to be the biggest and best card yet.
“We’re still growing,” Katz said. “I’m still growing the company. I worked hard, and we’ll have a full card. We should have 16 bouts cleared prior to the deadline of the fights. We’re gonna have a full card of exciting bouts. I brought some little guys in. Mike Colon vs. Ariel Solano for 126 vacant belt. That fight is going to a barn burner co-main event. In the main event is Ben Syers vs. Caleb Solano. Due to injury that fight was postponed [previously]. Both are training hard and it’s going to be a great main event. It’s a fantastic fight.”
Ben Syers became an overnight Internet sensation when he knocked out Bobby Ascolillo in just 4 seconds to win the Evolution 140 pound title last November. The video of that fight has gone viral and has nearly one hundred thousand hits on YouTube.
“In the past two weeks, the video’s gotten ten thousand hits,” said Katz. “It’s crazy.”
Crazy may be the operative word for what happens in the cage at the Evolution Fighting Championship, but the way Steve Katz runs the promotion is anything but. His shows start on time, all the time, and the crowd always leaves satisfied.
Katz is also the matchmaker for the bouts, and he’s meticulous in how he puts together fights. In addition to the two bouts mentioned above, he’s got some other big fights planned for August 27. “I’m bringing in Westley Chow,” Katz said. “Wes Chow vs. Jay Velasco. They’re fighting actually at 135 pounds, but they’re both 130 pound guys, contenders for 126 pound belt and the 130 pound belt. So Wes Chow and Jay Velasco, even with the card that we have lined up, have the probable makings for Fight of the Night. That’s going to be a fight you don’t want to blink at. We’ve got everything on this card. We’ve got powerhouse wrestlers, good strikers, it’s going to be a great card.”
Katz has a proven track record of putting on great fights, and with these match ups there’s a good chance we’ll see another viral video take the MMA world storm. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling 718-607-4158. The fights begin at 6:00pm. Doors open at 5:00pm at the Rahway Rec Center, 275 East Milton Avenue, Rahway, New Jersey, 07065. For fans who can’t make it to the venue, the fights will also be broadcast on GoFightLive.tv
