The Gulf Coast’s premier cage fighting event is back as Fight Force International presents Blood & Sand X on Saturday, August 13 in beautiful Biloxi, Mississippi at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum. Fight Force International always puts on jumbo cards and this event is no different. With evenly matched opponents, Blood & Sand shows are always competitive and exciting.
In one of the featured bouts, Drew Wallace (5-1) fights undefeated Jason Knight (3-0) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters have quite a following in the Mississippi area and you can bet this contest will be full throttle from the opening bell. The more seasoned Wallace will look to set the pace early in the fight and use his ring experience to wear down the fast-starting Knight, a grappling prodigy, who has defeated all of his opponents in the first round by submission. Wallace’s only defeat came by decision and the veteran looks to be the first to put a check in the loss column for Knight. Both fighters are established stars prepared to take the next step in their careers and they will leave everything in the cage to prove it.
In other action, Zebulon “The Prophet” Stroud (2-0) faces Austin Parker (3-3) in a welterweight battle of up and coming prospects. The undefeated Stroud is quite a talent in the sport while Parker is on a 3-fight win streak, with all of his wins coming in the first round. These two very explosive 170 lb fighters will lock horns in the center of the cage and the result could be fight of the night.
In more action, Harris “The Sandman” Stephenson (2-0) battles Blake Miles (0-2) and James “Razor” Sharp (5-6) takes on Jason Goodin (3-5) in matches that promise to be barnburners. These two matchups are full of risk takers who have wild fighting styles and always give the fans a great show.
Don’t miss this thrilling mixed martial arts card as this will also mark 10 years of action-packed cage fighting that Fight Force International has staged for the MMA fans of the South. Both professional and amateur fighters from around the Dirty South will compete!

Fight Night Entertainment presents Combat at the Cabaret – Fight Night Round XVI on August 13 at the Swinomish Casino located on the beautiful Fidalgo Island in Anacortes, Washington. The event features a bevy of top matches, in both the professional and amateur ranks, highlighted by a UFC veteran fighting at the top of the card.
In the main event, 4X UFC veteran Mario “Super Mario” Miranda (10-3) fights undefeated Jason Zentgraf (5-0) in a high-octane middleweight bout. For Miranda, this fight is a chance to get a “W” against a tough up and coming opponent. Miranda has refocused and rededicated himself to his craft and looks to be the first fighter to put a blemish on Zentgraf’s perfect record. For Zentgraf, this is a wonderful opportunity to fight against a UFC caliber opponent and if he is able to pick up the victory, then he is very likely to gain the attention of the national promotions. Zentgraf’s task is no easy achievement as Miranda went the distance against Aaron Simpson and Demian Maia in his last two UFC appearances inside the Octagon. This fight couldn’t have bigger stakes for both and the winner will climb the ladder and inch one step closer to realizing his dream.
In the co-main event, Craig “The Bullet” Jackson (3-1) battles Dustin Praxedes (1-3). This fight will resemble two Tasmanian devils fighting in the middle of the cage. For Jackson, who is riding a 3-fight win streak, he will look to keep the momentum going with his high risk/high reward fighting style. “The Bullet” always starts fast and will look to push the pace on Praxedes. For Praxedes, a victory over Jackson would show how deceiving his record is. All 4 of Praxedes fights have ended in the first round, so don’t blink. This fight is sure to be a fan-favorite because with these two athletes fighting, it is impossible for this to be a boring match. Look for fireworks early.
Don’t miss this exciting card featuring UFC veteran Mario “Super Mario” Miranda and a collection of other great matchups. Watch the future world champions of MMA compete today on this stacked card as Fight Night Entertainment presents Combat at the Cabaret – Fight Night Round XVI on August 13 only through pay-per-view exclusively at GFL.tv!For full fight card and more details about this event, visit gfl.tv or click here

The Stand Up Promotions crew has put together an all pro fight card featuring talent from Thailand, Japan, and the US. But perhaps the most important fight on the card and possibly of this entire year, is the fight pitting arguably the best nakmuay in the world, Saenchai Sinbimuaythai against the fighter Muay Thai is Life considers the best and most complete Muay Thai fighter to have ever come out of the United States, Kevin Ross.
Although many may qualify this fight as a losing battle for Ross, you have to remember that it was Saenchai himself who asked to fight Ross as he was impressed by the Americans talent. And although Ross will be participating in the fight of his life, in the end it is the Thai who has more to lose than the American. Being that Saenchai is widely considered to be the top Muay Thai fighter in the world at the moment, losing to a fighter from a country that is considered to be behind in Muay Thai prowess would make quite a dent in Saenchai’s growing legend. As for Ross, an opportunity to fight someone like Saenchai is an opportunity to further advance not only his name but the current state of Muay Thai in the United States. Win or lose, a good showing against Saenchai will further cement Ross’ legacy in the sport of Muay Thai worldwide.
Aside from this historic main event, the M1 Grand Muay Thai Championship also features a few other top names in the sport such as the aggressive and exciting Rungravee Sasiprapa and Japan’s Kunitaka Fujiwara.
FULL CARD:
Saenchai Sinbimuaythai (THAILAND) vs Kevin Ross (USA) for MTAA World Title
Rungravee Sasiprapa (THAILAND) vs Kunitaka Fujiwara (JAPAN)
