Cage Fury Fighting Championships (CFFC) is back for CFFC: 8 'Seek and Destroy', an event that will honor the United States Military Forces right before Memorial Day weekend on Friday, May 20th, 2011 at the Resorts Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Fresh off another sold out event, which featured a great night of fights including undefeated prospect Tim Williams upset TKO victory over UFC veteran, Andre Gusmao, CFFC is back with another action packed card.
The Main Event will feature veteran welterweight Doug 'Flash' Gordon taking on rising star Joey 'Boom Boom' Rivera. With a record of 11-9, Gordon has fought almost all the top welterweights in the east coast including UFC and Bellator veterans. In his last fight Gordon knocked out previously undefeated Jesus Martinez in just 50 seconds of their first round bout to capture another title. This bout not only showed that Gordon still has something left, but showed he can still be a force in CFFC's welterweight title picture. However, his opponent wants that title as well.
Joey 'Boom Boom' Rivera was born and raised in Vineland, New Jersey who found trouble earlier in his life before turning to sports. Rivera moved on to Arizona and found a passion for MMA. There he went on a ferocious tear going 5-0 with five stoppages in the first round! Will his return to home bring him glory or will he end up Gordon's hit list?
In the Co-Main Event, current lightweight champion, Marques Daniels will take on Jay Coleman in his long awaited return to action. Daniels (6-4) is riding a two fight win streak and only one of his six wins have come via decision. When Daniels fights, he fights to finish. Coleman (6-4) is returning to cage after a four year layoff. With a new attitude and a new school under the tutelage of Ricardo Almeida protege Tom Beblass, Coleman is eager to get his name back in the game with a victory over Daniels on May 20th, 2011. With victories over UFC veterans, Coleman has the experience and the skills to get his game back to the top.
The rest of the main card will not only feature established pros and up-and-comers, it will also showcase the return of Olympic Alternate Kyle Cerminara and Brazilian sensation Regiclaudio 'Kexada' in his America debut in separate bouts.
lol @ the thought of paying 10 bucks for any of those cards tonight, when there is a free UFC show on cable

Ultimate Reno Combat Starts at 8:pm PT LIVE at www.GFL.tv
Northern Nevada's premier cage fighting event returns as Ultimate Reno Combat 25 presents Undisputed LIVE on June 10 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada.
The 13-fight attraction is headlined by a bantamweight title fight in the women's division. In the main event, Tay Stratford (8-1) of Reno Academy of Combat battles Autumn Richardson (3-2) from Team Quest. Stratford has torn through Nevada's fight scene and it's fitting that with so much on the line, a tough, game competitor like Richardson, who comes from one of the greatest camps in the world, steps into the cage to fight for the belt in this evenly matched championship bout. Stratford, who also holds a championship with the Las Vegas-based Tuff-N-Uff fight promotion, has had finishes in 6 of her 8 wins and looks to add another title to her collection. Richardson also has experience in championship fights, but came up a little short in her last bout. Nothing can erase that loss faster than a victory on June 10 against Stratford with an Ultimate Reno Combat title belt at stake. Both women will look to push the pace and impose their will in what should be a fun, exciting fight for the fans.
The co-main event features Sasha Montgomery (3-0) versus Brandon Morris (3-2) in a welterweight contest. The undefeated Montgomery has fought all three times for Ultimate Reno Combat so his familiarity with the organization will be key when he steps into the cage and looks to utilize his Gracie-learned submission game to get Morris to tapout. Morris is coming off of a two-fight win streak of his own and is the more battle tested of the two competitors and will look to rough up Montgomery and use his cage experience to take Montgomery into deep water and eventually overwhelm him and finish the fight.
Gruesome MMA headlines UFC/WEC vet Jamie Varner vs. Jeremy Carper iPPV Tonight at www.GFL.tv Click on poster >>
Gruesome MMA presents Gruesome MMA 4 on June 11 at Belfry High School in Pikeville, Kentucky. Gruesome MMA is the proving ground for up and coming MMA fighters in the region which encompasses several states. This 17-bout mega card features a main event with UFC veteran and former WEC World Lightweight Champion, Jamie Varner (17-6-1). Varner faces contender Jeremy Carper (3-3) in a headline bout that is sure to gain national attention. Once regarded as one of the best 155 lb fighters in the world, Varner is coming off of a first round victory at XFO 39 in May and looks to keep his momentum moving forward. For Varner, he only has one thing in mind and that's getting back to the UFC. Standing in his way is Jeremy Carper. For Carper, this fight could be a career changing event if he is able to pull off the huge upset. Carper's 3 wins have all been stoppages, either submission or TKO so he has the skill set to pull off the surprise victory. For Carper he is going to have to throw everything, including the kitchen sink, at the former world champion and maybe, just maybe, shock the world. No matter how this fight ends, one thing is for certain, get your popcorn and your drinks before the fight starts, because this will be a barnburner!
In the co-main event, Cornelius Godfrey (1-0) takes on the debuting Kevin Miles (0-0). Both fighters have extensive amateur records, Godfrey (12-2) and Miles (4-1) so don't let the records fool you. This professional bout will be hotly contested and anything can and probably will happen. Godfrey is coming off of a first round submission win in his first pro fight and, as an amateur fighter, held championships with two organizations. Miles, known for his slick submissions, steps up his game and will go hold for hold with Godfrey on the mat. Expect a grappling clinic from these two.
