Are you ready to Evolve?

Two days till the Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting (WXC) official weigh-ins and the upper portion of the card is stacked. Again WXC is continuing to keep the ladies division moving forward strong. This card WXC looks to releases the Ladies Flyweight Belt. Fighting for that belt is Toledo, Ohio’s Amber Ignatowski, Training out USA Martial Arts of Ohio, She is a tuff striker with no fear in her attack. She is just coming off a win from WXC26 “Night of Champions 2” over Kathleen Albany. That fight was Ignatowski’s second fight in the cage, but first with WXC. She won with a dominating TKO thirty seven seconds in the first round and advancing her record to 2-0.

Amber will face Ypsilanti, Michigan’s Christianna Daniels out of Scarred MMA of Bellville; she’s a skilled grappler with some mean leg kicks. She is coming out of her first win and fight that took place at a show further north. This is Daniels first fight with WXC and the pressure is on right out of the gate for this very tuff lady. WXC is aggressively pushing its ladies division and we have quite a few ladies looking to have there rain at the WXC gold, but between scheduling and injury these two ladies will set the pace for the WXC Ladies Flyweight division.

On to some other great title fights that you need to see for this Saturday night. We have the Bantamweight Champion Derrick Mandell putting the title on the line against Darral Humprey. Humprey (6-2) challenger from Flint, Michigan, took the qualifier over Shane Poole at WXC27 “FLAWLESS” and moved up the latter to face undefeated Mandell Champion. Mandell (4-0) off a successful defend against Matt Christipher at WXC26. Humphrey is a solid striker with a very aggressive fighting style brining a lot to Mandell’s front door. Mandell a very educated wrestler with a key eye in striking, with serious patients to wait out his opponent then take him down to a submission. One’s got give and the other’s got take this is going to be a fight to watch.


Moving on to the Featherweight championship we have Challenger Ohio’s Mikey “Hit the Flo” Flores and Detroit’s Champion Meech “The Problem” Graham. This is Graham’s first defend with his belt coming off a three round fight with Mario Aguilar, taking it all the way to the judges to win by decision. Flores (5-3) having qualified for a shot at the belt in WXC23, plans to reclaim his last lost at WXC26 against undefeated Deven Brown. Graham (4-2) a very solid and strong striker to face Flores a seasoned wrestler should make for a great 3 round battle.

We have the Men’s Flyweight Title on the line between Taylor’s Challenger Michael Gonzales and Detroit’s Champion Jesse Bazzi. Bazzi (5-2) putting his belt up for his first defend, looking to show that he has the reason for being the WXC champion. Coming off a fresh win over Michael Jordan at WXC 27 “FLAWLESS”, Bazzi wishes to keep momentum going as he plan to retain the gold. Gonzalez (4-3) plans to stop him dead in his tracks, wile winning his qualifier at WXC 26 he has been steering his path towards the belt. Both Fighters being very fast with explosive striking and are both extremely aggressive in the cage. Fans are going to have to see some replay after every round to catch up.

Last but not least we have the WXC welterweight qualifier between Detroit’s Mickey Marsack and Carleton’s Tyler Pitock. Marsack (7-1) with a Muay Thai back ground is looking to put the boot to his challenger as Marsack already has his eyes set at getting at the WXC champion Dequan Townsend. But, Pitock (9-6-1) stands in his way, Quick hands, power striking, strong chin and great ground work. Seems Marsack will have to keep his distance from Pitock in this fight. Still a great have to see fight!

Plus many more, 12 more to be exact! Bud light and Budweiser will be in attendance and a great night of fights is guaranteed!
