MaxFightsDM and Glory Fighting Championship Combine Efforts

MaxFightsDM and Glory Fighting Championship Combine Efforts to Deliver
Maximum Glory MMA Event at the Val Air Ballroom on July 9

Des Moines, IA May 21, 2010 – MaxFightsDM and Glory Fighting Championship have entered into an agreement to co-produce live professional mixed martial arts (MMA) events in Iowa. Both companies are well established fight promotion organizations that have produced numerous events in several area venues. Glory FC was established in 2006 by Sullivan Baccam and Ted Baccam. MaxFightsDM is the newest venture of Des Moines promoters Scott Casber and Chris Arns, who began producing fight events in 2005 and have owned stakes in other fight promotions.

Glory is renowned for its high production values, as well as helping develop the careers of many nationally recognized fighters including Joe Brammer, Kevin Burns, Alonzo Martinez, and Zach Micklewright. MaxfightsDM is recognized for their strong ties to the wrestling community, as well as its celebrity-centric promotions. MaxFightsDM recent events featured bouts including Hermes Franca, Josh Neer, and Ben Askren. Many of the MMA’s top personalities have attended and helped promote their events, including Rampage Jackson, Randy Couture, Rashad Evans, Matt Hughes, Diego Sanchez and Tim Sylvia.

Strikeforce Light Heavyweight Champion, and larger than life figure, King Mo, will attend the July MaxFightsDM/Glory FC event. Details on meet and greet opportunities will be provided soon.

Titled “Maximum Glory“, the Friday, July 9 event will deliver a unique mix of talent and experience, drawing on the vast and combined resources of both companies. In the night’s main event, suddenly famous Eric Wisely returns to the same venue where he TKO’d former WEC champion, and UFC title contender, Hermes Franca. Wisely, a Clinton, IA native, stunned the world at the MaxFightsDM January event gaining the win, and summoning Franca’s subsequent retirement announcement. This time, the unified MaxFightsDM/Glory FC Lightweight belt is at stake when Wisely puts it on the line with undefeated (7-0) Lonnie “Scrittywood” Scriven. Securing an opponent for Wisely proved a challenge, given his tough reputation, and Scriven has shown nothing but respect and appreciation for his opponent. At the same time, he’s confident that his training with, in his words, “My team Hard Drive, my heroes” is enough to make the difference on its own. Scriven is training for the title fight with the Cedar Rapids based team including standouts Steve Carl, Jarred Downing, Bill Kamery, and Damien Papagni.

A second MaxFightsDM/Glory FC unified belt will be awarded in the Featherweight Division at Maximum Glory. Undefeated Benely Xamonty (8-0) puts his record at risk against Des Moines favorite, Brad “Bad Boy” Floyd. Xamonty blends a lethal mix of straight up Muay Thai and mad stand up skills, and is a proven crowd pleaser. Floyd is on a five fight winning streak, owns an unstoppable heart, and has gained much experience training with Jeremy Stephens, and Josh Neer at Des Moines Mixed Martial Arts Academy.

Another exciting highlight arrives when Glory FC CEO Sullivan Baccam climbs into the cage to face Rob “Cemetery” Gates. Baccam’s heralded wrestling career, accompanied by his intense focus and training in striking, has him clearly focused on a victory via knockout. Gates is a member of the venerable Team Hard Drive in Cedar Rapids, and is known for his tremendous striking ability. Baccam’s only loss came at the hands of Gates’ team member and training partner, Bill Kamery. Bacaam views his bout with Gates as the logical step toward a rematch with Kamery. Gates too, has also suffered only a single loss. One man must change their claim to two losses. Neither man intends to do so.

Other key fights rounding out the 12 bout card include Nate” Teddy Bear” Williams vs. Joey Nguyen, Ashland Grady vs. Michael Graham, and Larry Tanchinh vs. Randy Meyer.

The Maximum Glory official weigh-ins and after party are held at Margarita’s Dance Club at 2060 NW 94th Street in Clive. The public weigh-ins/face offs are held at 7PM on Thursday, July 8. The after party begins immediately upon the conclusion of the fight event. Discounted admission to the after event is provided to anyone providing their Maximum Glory ticket stub.

Doors for Maximum Glory open at the Val Air Ballroom at 301 Ashworth Road in West Des Moines at 6:30 PM on Friday, July 9. Fights begin promptly at 7:30 PM. Additional venue and event information can be found at www.valairballrom.com or by calling 515- 223-6152

Tickets for Maximum Glory are on sale now and can be purchased at the Val Air box office and through Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.com). VIP tables can be purchased by calling (515) 274-0849.
