In Championship bouts, Arizona Combat Sports star Jeremy Larsen ( 6-1 ), coming off an impressive win, takes on RITC Champion Alex Garcia ( 9-4 ) for the WW title. Carlos Farias ( 2-0 ), a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the head instructor of the Lion's Den Scottsdale BJJ Programs takes on behemoth JoJo Thompson ( 7-4-1 ) in an interesting match up of technique against raw power for the SHW title. Brazilian Gabriel Kitober ( 1-0 ) will challenge Strikeforce veteran Matt Lucas ( 10-2 ) for the interim LHW title.
In featured bouts, popular Joe Cronin ( 15-13 ), in a grudge match, takes on Bellator veteran Estevan Payan ( 8-3 ), Mike Moritz ( 4-1 ) takes on well-traveled local fighter Shannon Ritch and MMA Lab fighter Charlie Brown ( 8-2 ) takes on karate stylist Leonard Wilson ( 4-4-1 ).
Rounding out the main card will be Yaotzin Meza ( 12-6 ) vs Casey Milliken ( 1-1 ), Beau Tribolet ( 3-1 ) vs Mike Zanski ( 1-2 ) and Randy Steinke ( 5-5-1 ) vs Omur Cor ( 5-4 ).
Other "story lines" to mention are as follows. Undefeated former ASU wrestlers John Moraga ( 5-0 ) and Clifford Starks ( 2-0 ) will attempt to continue their winning ways and 2 active marines ( Harris and Overstreet ) will be making their mma debuts. Errol Murphy is flying in from New York to fight on the same card as his uncle Omur Cor and two fighters from Las Vegas ( Milliken and Kitober) will be challenging Arizona's finest.
Should be a DYNAMITE show. Get your tickets early for the best seat selections.

ohhh j-pet
i wanted to ask u about the cornerman situation
one of the people i wanted to bring is under 18...and i noticed that at the casinos...attendance is limited to 18 and over..
so is that gonna be a problem or does that not apply to cornermen
Hi Nick - that would be a problem at Wild Horse pass casino.
UFC just scheduled an event on Nov 20 so we will be moving that date which could impact Dec 11.
Worst case will be your mma debut occurs in late Jan 2011. When does your friend turn 18 ?
ohh not for a while. So i guess its no big deal.
but awee really? so now the december show will...or possibly be moved? which one lol
whats the probability of it being moved?
too far away to tell right now.
the max delay will be from Dec to Jan for your debut.
I know you are anxious but these thing happen.
ohh
well ill just look at it as an extra month to get in shape :)
and yea very anxious but i completley understand. No big deal at all.
