PureCombat “CHAMPIONS FOR CHILDREN”

A Benefit Event for Children’s Hospital Central CA

On September 25th, 2010, Coors Light Presents "Champions For Children.” This will be the first annual Mixed Martial Arts event produced by PureCombat on behalf of Children's Hospital Central California; benefiting the hospitals fund raising Campaign For Children's. Come out and support this effort and "YOU" too can be a Champion for Children’s.
 
Kicking off this event will be the Weigh Ins on September 24th from 5-7pm; …hosted by the Manchester Center located on Shields and Blackstone in Fresno. Bring the whole family to the center of the mall for some fun, shopping and mingling with stars like Ultimate Fighter Season 11 Winner, Court McGee. Court will be signing autographs and taking pictures as we celebrate this opportunity to fight for Children’s Hospital. Also making an appearance is 17-7-1 superstar Mike Kyle who’s fought all over the world and in the UFC, WEC and Strikeforce.
 
The big event will be the following evening at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds ….and since this is all about being champions, how better than to include a championship fight for the recently vacated 170 lb Welterweight Belt with Brock “The Machine” Jardine whose ready to meet whomever we put in front of him confident that the belt already belongs to him.
 
Look forward to a battle between Olympic Silver Medalist/Fresno State Alumni Stephen Abas in his 3rd fight of his career against Martin "Tarzan" Sandoval, at one of the most exciting weight classes, the 135 lb. division.  

Brodie Farber a well rounded fighter whose last 2 fights have been in the UFC is also a Fresno State Alumni and will be meeting the man with the fastest KO in the world …..3 sec KO Steve “Dangerous” Ramirez.

Ralph Alvarado, another tough Fresno State Wrestler, is also on the card and is looking for the one fighter who will accept this battle at 135…….any takers???
 
PureCombat vet Rodney Rhoden has agreed to pit his knock out record against Rob Emerson’s UFC past. Rob, whose last 7 fights have been in the UFC, has proven by his record of wins that he has the gas to stay in the fight… all the way to the end.
 
Gabriel Solorio will be meeting Alex Crispim, Strikeforce Vet, in the cage…both having identical records and the same history of wins should make the outcome to this fight anyone’s guess.  

Also on the card:
Mike Guidry vs Ben Davis,
Rafael Urena vs Dominic Clark,
Cole Nagy vs TBD,
Anthony Vidal vs Jose Torres

and we’ve added a fem fight with a Farmersville school teacher Ms. Reneau, Mo’s opponent is TBD.
