Let's take a look at some of the talented array of amateur fighters prepared to take the cage at HK38. Each of these fighters are working their way through the amateur ranks in hopes of one day turning pro. From heavyweights battling in the cage to an amateur title fight, every match-up will keep you on the edge of your seat!
DAUDA KEITA vs. NICK BURNHAM - Title Fight
Two of the most talented amateur fighters alive are scheduled to meet in this title fight at HK38! Fighting out of the Blue Corner will be Team Extreme mixed martial artist Dauda Keita. Keita has an impressive track record in the cage entering this fight with a 6-1 record. He won his last fight by decision. Nick Burnham from Crisis MMA is no stranger to the cage either, owning a 6-1 record. These fighters are at the top of the amateur ladder and a victory here could mean a shot at a professional contract.
MAC LAURSEN vs. STERLING MICHETTI
Middleweight Mac Laursen looks to continue his winning ways after he earned a victory in his first amateur fight earlier this year by submission. Standing in his way will be Kamikaze Punishment fighter Sterling Michetti, who is anxious for his first amateur cage fight.
IDRISS ANIMASHAUN vs. DAMIEN DIMARCO
Idriss Animashaun from Dynamic MMA took his last fight the distance, but the scorecards were split in favor of his opponent. Therefore, Animashaun is ready to get down to business in anticipation of his first win as an amateur mixed martial artist. Damien DiMarco is looking to bounce back after a first round KO in his last fight and will be equally hungry for a victory in his second amateur contest.
JUSTIN BASRA vs. CLAY DIXON
Two featherweights are poised to make their MMA debuts in this matchup. Justin Basra is a featherweight mixed martial artist who trained with the Elite Training Centre. Clay Dixon trained with Kamikaze Punishment.
TROY DUNNE vs. LUCUS GREER
Elite Training Centre helped Troy Dunne prepare for his first MMA fight. Canadian Lucus Greer has been independently training in preparation for this matchup. Both fighters are ready to display their fighting skills in the cage, this one may just come down to which athlete can control their nerves under pressure and put aside those first fight jitters before the other fighter.
