Posted on | June 15, 2010 | 1 Comment

Kattar (9-2) will be taking on Chris Conner (5-2) and Santiago (2-0) will be fighting Lowell Zangri (2-0). Both are fighting out of IntenZe MMA Academy in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Kattar, who is from Methuen, Mass., last fought March 26th at XCFL 2, lived up to his nickname when he “finished” previously undefeated Jeff Anderson (8-1) in the third round via a TKO, with punches while on his opponent’s back.

IntenZe MMA is also home to the “Guns Down Knuckles Up” movement trying to get troubled teens off the streets and into the gym to train.

Will “Brown Bomber” Santiago, of IntenZe MMA, gets his story about his move from the streets to the cage covered by WMUR and Eagle Tribune. “Off the streets and into the ring”, Lawrence’s Santiago fighting for a better life. The streets of Lawrence showed little mercy on Will Santiago. Growing up poor in a broken home, Santiago found trouble at every turn. “Street life is not something you choose,” said Santiago, now 26. “It’s something you’re born into.” After 10 years embroiled in drugs and violence — bouncing in and out of jail — Santiago decided to take his fight off the streets and into the “Octagon.” At 26 years old, Santiago will take the next step on what he hopes can be a long, productive journey in the mixed martial arts game…” Eagle Tribune (Jan 15th, 2010)

Jamison, Calvin Kattar’s manager, is organizing a bus trip from Methuen up to the fight, please contact him for more details. http://www.teamkattar.com/
