Wednesday, March 30, 2011

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting (WXC) continues its 2011 season Saturday May 7th at the Cobo Centers in Detroit Michigan, featuring a historic evening of 8 scheduled title fights, as WXC crowns its inaugural champions in its newly created Amateur World Champions Tour.

“WXC has been a longtime supporter of amateur MMA and we’ve invested heavily into developing future professional stars by featuring top amateur fights and fighters as forefront of our program,” said WXC President Jeff Pitock. “Now, we’re giving our amateur fighters something harder to compete for as they will be awarded with the recognition of being a top amateur champion in the world.”

Detroit’s Heavyweight bad boy and prospect of the year Ray “The War Machine” Rocheleau, a native of Monroe Michigan now living in Detroit Michigan attending Wayne State University, will take on current champion, heavy handed and well rounded fighter Rob “The Hooligan” Taylor, for the WXC Amateur World Heavyweight Championship title.

Tyler “Young Gunz” Pitock will take on WXC mainstay Dequan Townsend for the WXC Amateur World Welterweight Championship title.

In the 155 pound amateur division, Brad “The Bruiser” Brown will take on current champion Kyle Lingg; a fight that was supposed to happen in Westland Michigan is now set for the Main Stage in Detroit. More amateur championship fights will be announced soon on www.wxclive.com, including bouts in the Ladies and Men’s Bantamweight, Middleweight and Featherweight divisions.

“Warrior Xtreme Cagefighting is all about Amateur Mixed Martial Arts. We want to showcase the best up and comers in the world,” says Pitock. “WXC is going to stake its claim in the industry by promoting and producing the best amateur fights and fighters the industry has yet to see!”

DVD’s of the event will be available for preorder at the event, the events weigh-ins and online at www.wxclive.com.
