Posted on | September 15, 2009 | No Comments

If you missed the beginning of the 8 man 155 lb tournament; If you missed the World Record setting Knock Out; If you missed one of the most impressive fem fights of the year and if you missed The Giant Slayer, slaying The Giant………….DO NOT MISS THIS!!!

SATURDAY, October 17th, 2009 BUD LIGHT Presents PureCombat again…As we take over the Tulare International Agri-Center for another phenomenal event when it presents FEARLESS…….If you came out to see Back Yard Brawl March 7th then you know what a great show that turned out to be. The sound, the size of the venue and of course the remarkable card that made that night very memorable…BUT get ready for the next one because we’re bringing to you a very SPECIAL MAIN EVENT………

Doug “the Rhino” Marshall vs Keith “KO Kid” Berry at 185 lbs.

This will be Doug’s first fight outside of the WEC where he was once crowned their Light Heavy Weight Champion and also outside the recently debunked PFC promotion. I’m sure Doug is very excited to re-enter the official forum of “MMA” THE CAGE …This is a fight that KO KID Keith Berry asked for………and as the old saying goes “be careful of that”…. Keith, now representing LA Boxing, has fought for the WEC, KOTC and ShoXC productions and has won 90% of the time by KNOCKING OUT his opponents with that massive right hand.

We also have Anthony “the A Train” Ruiz back again……and we feel he should change his name to “The Giant Slayer”…..Anthony has KO’d 13 of his 22 Wins and has taken on some HUGE opponents like Big Jimmy Ambriz in our FROM THE ASHES event and Gan McGee in our last event HOME TURF held at the Visalia Convention Center July 25th of this year.

Mike “The Animal” Cook is back with us again looking for a win over his opponent Paul Mince from the Underground in Bakersfield. Mike took a devastating Liver kick in his last fight at Strikeforce which was delivered by K1, Pride and PureCombat Veteran Scott Lighty so this is an important fight that Mike really needs to win. We also have a couple of local favorites who we understand have a vendetta to settle…….So in the spirit of communication “LETS TAKE IT TO THE CAGE” and see who is the badest.. Josh Herrick or Joe Morales.

Also back in the mix is LeAnn Jenkins out of the Valley Fight Club in Hanford…LeAnn came against Zoila Frausto in PureCombat’s last show in July, HOME TURF, and she saw that fight all the way to the end with a decision. LeAnn is very tough and is very ready to take on Angela Samaro from Salinas. Angela has a bit more experience but LeAnn has the home town advantage and the training that can make up that difference. This fight is guaranteed entertainment and we should be looking for a knock out with this fight.

And what many are looking forward to at this event is the 2nd leg of the 8 man 155lb tournament which began at the July 25th event, HOME TURF at the Visalia Convention Center. The names were pulled from a hat and the combatants for this portion of the tournament are……..Darren Crisp vs Doug Hunt and Marc De La Cruz vs Josh McCartney……. Both of these fights will be exciting as they match very well and the fighters in each bout are similar in their styles and backgrounds. This tournament will continue to a 3rd and final leg either December or early in the New Year and will end with someone holding the PureCombat 155lb Championship Belt and a multiple fight contract. Opening the show will be a very interesting mix with debuter’s Travis Hughes against “TJ” Frausto Caballero at 185 … these two guys will come out brawling from beginning to end and its sure to be a war. Introducing Drew Bittner; who’s coming out to make his mark by impressing PureCombat with his best against local 145 lb Carlos Costa from the Valley Fight Club in Hanford.

Keep your date books open for this event…….October 17, 2009 at the International Agri-Center in Tulare right off State Hwy 99 at Paige Street……As always this PureCombat event steps up and does a little better than the last one …… Don’t forget about the weigh ins…….the event before the event…..The location is to be announced so stay tuned and stay in touch…..PureCombat FEARLESS ………..
