Asylum Fight League is back with its latest installment Asylum Fight League XXXV on June 18 at the First Energy Park in Lakewood, New Jersey. The FREE 18-bout amateur card has some of the top prospects on the East Coast competing and they will be fighting tooth and nail to climb up the MMA ladder.
In the main event, Michael Oettinger (3-0) tests Tajuddin Abdul-Hakim (7-3) in what is sure to be a high octane slugfest. Abdul-Hakim is a former Light Heavyweight Asylum Champion and is looking to get the belt back, with the first step being a win over Oettinger. The undefeated Oettinger will be making his debut with Asylum Fight League and wants to show Abdul-Hakim that he is nobody’s stepping stone. Oettinger is a wizard on the ground and will look to put the veteran Abdul-Hakim on the mat and secure a submission. But Abdul-Hakim who has fought in five consecutive title fights leading up to this match is battle-tested and seen and done almost everything there is to see or do in the cage. He will look to push the pace and use his experience to wear down the upstart Oettinger and finish him in the later rounds.
In other action, Greg Quarantello (4-1) battles Steve Tyrrell (2-4) in a contender’s match that could have future title ramifications down the line. All of Quarantello’s victories have come via KO or submission and he looks to do the same against Tyrrell. Tyrrell has won 2 of his last 3 fights and comes into the match with a newfound confidence. Both men have similar experience and this battle should come down to who wants it more. Quarantello is the more disciplined fighter and Tyrrell likes to play a high risk – high reward game that could make for a fight of the night between these two tough competitors.

Click here to watch this event on GoFightLive!
Northern Kentucky’s #1 MMA promotion returns June 18 as Absolute Action MMA presents Absolute Action MMA XV at the Midwest Sports Complex in Florence, Kentucky. This is a super-card with 19 bouts scheduled for the night. Both professional and amateur MMA will be on display as the Bluegrass State’s leading MMA organization presents another stacked event.
In the main event, heavyweights Joshua “Tank” Franklin (5-10-1) and Aaron Webb (6-2) will battle for the AAMMA Amateur Heavyweight Championship. It is a rematch from AAMMA 13 where Webb won by rear naked choke in Round 1. Franklin is looking to avenge that loss and there’s no better time to do that than on June 18, with the heavyweight title on the line. All 6 of Webbâ??s victories have come via submission or KO, so Franklin will have his hands full once again. But the “Tank” is ready to break through a wall if he has to. Franklin can quiet all of his critics with a win here over Webb and climb to the top of the Absolute Action MMA mountain all in one night. For Webb, it is an opportunity to cement himself as “The Man” in the heavyweight division.
In other pro action, veteran Mojo Horne (5-2) faces Amaechi Oselukwue (2-1) in a middleweight battle. Oselukwue is coming off of a big win at Bellator 38 and looks to continue his hot streak against Horne. For Mojo, he is looking to turn heads himself and show that he is ready for the national scene. A win over Oselukwue will do that. In other action, Bill Underwood (1-1) fights Justin Higdon (2-0) in another middleweight barnburner. Underwood picked up his first professional win at AAMMA 13 in under 30 seconds with a guillotine choke. The undefeated Higdon is a punching machine on the ground, winning both of his fights due to tapout from strikes. Both men are comfortable fighting on the ground, but one is a grappler while the other prefers ground and pound. Tune in to find out who will set the pace and push the action in this evenly matched contest.
You won’t find more BANG for your buck than this card. Be sure to catch all of the action LIVE on June 18, as Absolute Action presents Absolute Action MMA XV exclusively at GFL.tv.

Ultimate Cage Fighting presents Caged Hope IV on June 18 at the Wayside West in Kalamazoo, Michigan. This is a special night of action as UCF has teamed up with Relay for Life to raise awareness and fight against cancer.
Featured fights of the night include Brett Smith (1-1) versus Pat Reck (4-5). Smith won his last fight and his only loss was because of an injury suffered in the fight resulting in a stoppage by the referee. Smith is very new to MMA as both of his previous fights have been in 2011 and this will be his third in a little over six months. It shows that Smith is a quick learner and a resilient athlete to be this active in such a demanding sport. Smith will look to make it 2 in a row against his opponent Reck. For Reck, all 4 or his wins have come via KO or submission. Reck’s wild style always creates for interesting and exciting matches as only 2 of his 9 total fights have ever made it out of the first round. Expect fireworks from these two gladiators.
Another bout that is sure to gain attention is a matchup of debuting fighters Shane Henney and Alex Bonwick. Both men come into the cage with an air of mystery surrounding them and the fight will probably come down to whoever can improvise on the spot the best. Both Henney and Bonwick are well prepared for this fight but only one will implement his game plan to victory on June 18.
Be sure to order Caged Hope IV on June 18 presented by Ultimate Cage Fighting in partnership with Relay for Life on GFL.tv.

Western Canada’s top MMA promotion is back as Hard Knocks Fighting Championship brings School of Hard Knocks 12, to the Century Casino in Calgary, Alberta, Canada June 17. The action packed 15-bout card is a combo event with both professional and amateur MMA fighters stepping in to the cage to do battle.
In the main event, Josh Griffin makes his professional debut against undefeated Sam Osman (1-0-1) in a tough middleweight battle. Both fighters have extensive experience at the amateur level and are using it as a springboard to elevate their careers by turning professional. Griffin might have to calm his butterflies in the early going as not only is this his professional debut, but he is also in the main event. Osman’s last fight was an overwhelming success as he won via TKO in Round 1 at School of Hard Knocks 9 back in November. Griffin fights out of PMA Karate while Osman trains out of Scott Schilling MMA. Their different approaches to the fight game will make for an interesting matchup and have the sparks flying from the opening bell.
In the co-main event Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet (0-0) battles Rhonda Rousey (1-0) in a bout at the 150 lb weight limit. Although sporting tons of amateur experience, the kickboxing Tweet will be fighting in the co-main event spot on her MMA debut as a professional. That is a lot to ask of anybody, but Tweet will be up to the challenge. For the Californian, Rousey, she is coming off of a spectacular submission victory (armbar) in her debut that took only 25 seconds. Rousey will look to take the kickboxing Tweet down to the ground quickly and look to catch a submission. This could be the classic matchup of a striker versus grappler with both women looking to get the fight in their comfort zone and then executing a series of strikes or submission attempts in hopes of making it a quick night at the expense of their opponent.
Along with 6 pro bouts, HKFC is also a proving ground for amateur fighters ready to earn their stripes. The 9-bout amateur series will separate the contenders from the pretenders and build to the future for HKFC and Canadian MMA.
