Des Moines, IA- August 14, 2009- MaxFightsDM released the fight line-up for its August 28, Ballroom Brawl event at the Val Air Ballroom today. The ten bout event is the first all professional MMA contest in Des Moines. The main features include a welterweight title match, a fight with U.S. Olympian wrestler, and two-time NCAA champion Ben Askren, and Brian Green’s first fight in nearly one year.

Green faces Omaha fighter Dustin Deprizio, a veteran of Victory Fighting Championship, as well as several other Midwest fight organizations. Green had been sidelined due to a serious shoulder injury that was repaired via arthroscopic surgery. Green has had to double the time he’s committed to preparing for this fight, given the physical therapy that is required in addition to his grueling training regimen. “I love everything related to this sport, including the officiating, judging, and promoting I’ve done during my recovery. But the truth for me is, standing on the sidelines has driven me crazy. More than anything, I belong in the cage. I could not be happier to be back” provided an elated Green.

National buzz has been building regarding Ben Askren’s bout with Matt Delanoit. While many are quite impressed with Askren’s collegiate and Olympic experience, Delanoit may seem the least impressed. Delanoit shows up to a fight with one mission, regardless of his opponent, and that is to win. Delanoit’s MMA experience and record has to be just as impressive to Askren, and those closely watching his developing MMA career. Mark Cuban’s HD-Net network will film highlights of all bouts, including Askren vs. Delanoit.

The evening’s action and entertainment begins promptly at 7:30 Pm with the Green vs. Deprizio bout, and concludes with Demi Deeds vs. Jason Gilliam for MaxFightsDM first ever title bout. Doors open to the public at 6:30 PM for the following line-up.
